Synopsis

Setting

It is the year 2045, and over 1000 years after an agreement called "The Promise" was made to end a long war between humans and demons. According to "The Promise" agreement made between the demons and humans, each would live in their own separate "worlds" - the demon world, where there are several human breeding farms set up as offerings to appease the demons; and the human world, where humans who were not already on the demon side of the "world" get to live as they please, without fear of the demons causing them harm. The only rule to make this promise go smoothly, was for the humans to return any human that escaped from a human breeding farm - as they are the property of the demons. Within each human breeding farm, which were set up under the guise of an orphanage, there was a human "Mother" who would overlook the children to make sure they grew up as intelligent and delicious as possible - as the smarter a human child was, the better they tasted. The children at the "orphanage" - who are branded with their own set of identifying numbers tattooed onto the left side of their necks - had absolutely no knowledge of life outside the boundary of the orphanage, and were made to believe that when they were adopted they would be taken to their new family - but in reality, they were taken out to their deaths as high-quality offerings to wealthy and well-known demons.

Plot

Main article: List of The Promised Neverland characters

11-year-old Emma is one of 37 orphans living at the Grace Field House Orphanage. Life is as great as can be for the children at the Grace Field House Orphanage - they eat delicious food, have comfortable beds, they can play games to their hearts content, and, most important of all, get the nurturing love from their "Mother" Isabella. The children also attend "home school," and are tasked with completing different tests (which are actually used to gauge how "delicious" they are - since the smarter a human is, the better they taste to the demons who farm them). The orphans are allowed complete freedom, except to venture beyond the grounds or the gate, which connects the house to the outside world.

One night, an orphan named Conny is sent away to be "adopted", but Emma, noticing she left her prized stuffed animal behind, goes with Norman to give it to her. At the gate, they find Conny dead and discover the truth of their existence in this idyllic orphanage— to be raised as human livestock, eventually slaughtered, and sold as meat for the species known as Demons. Emma and Norman join with Ray to escape from Grace Field House with their orphan siblings. In the process of the escape, the younger children are left behind and Norman is "adopted" earlier on. The escapees find life outside the Farm is filled with dangers, but under the leadership of Emma and Ray, they become determined to return and free their remaining siblings, along with children from the other Farms.

The Promised Neverland is Kaiu Shirai and Posuka Demizu's second collaboration - their first being the Poppy no Negai series. The series originated from a draft originally simply titled Neverland, but was later changed to The Promised Neverland after running into some copyright issues. In 2014, Shirai brought the 300 page The Promised Neverland draft to the Weekly Shōnen Jump editorial department.

Critical reception

Anime News Network's Rebecca Silverman enjoyed the first manga volume and gave it a A−, saying, "Tense pacing, interesting literary connections, art and story work well together, strong plot and foreshadowing". Leroy Douresseaux of ComicBookBin gave the first volume a score of 9/10. Douresseaux praised the series for its characters, storytelling, and graphics, saying that the result is "a sinister, dark fantasy, and mystery thriller". Gabe Peralta of The Fandom Post, in his review of the first volume, praised it for its plot twists and suspense, giving it a "B+" and saying "The Promised Neverland feels like a modern Weekly Shonen Jump comic in every respect—it’s energetic and eager to please". Katherine Dacey of The Manga Critic enjoyed the series. Dacey wrote that she liked the world-building, crack pacing, crisp artwork, and a shocking plot twist in the first volume. She also praised the introduction of the principal characters and the main conflict.

Anime

In February 2020, the anime series was awarded "Best Fantasy" at Crunchyroll Anime Awards, and the Grace Field House caretaker Isabella won the "Best Antagonist" category. Polygon named the series as one of the best anime of the 2010s, and Crunchyroll listed it in their "Top 100 best anime of the 2010s". IGN also listed The Promised Neverland among the best anime series of the 2010s. Lauren Orsini of Forbes included The Promised Neverland on her list of the best anime of the decade. The Verge also listed the anime series in its list of the best anime of 2019. James Beckett of Anime News Network ranked the series 5th on his list of best anime series of 2019. Toussaint Egan of Thrillist ranked the series 3rd on his list of best anime of 2019.

Allen Moody of THEM Anime Reviews gave the first season 4 out of 5 stars. Moody praised the series for its story and the characters' ability to "devise amazingly sophisticated strategies (and counter-strategies) that surprise the viewer as much as their foes", adding that the series "maintains a high level of psychological tension throughout, even though we're hit with unexpected explicit horror only a couple of times". Moody concluded: "I was fairly satisfied with the story we have here. There are heartbreaking developments and moments of pure horror, but the unquenchable human spirit is in here too".

Reviewing the series' second season, Rafael Motamayor of Polygon said that while an original story could course-correct issues from the latter half of the original manga's plot, the season, specifically from episode 5 onwards, broke the pacing and tension of its previous episodes. In comparing it to Fullmetal Alchemist (2003), which changed from being a faithful adaptation to have an original story that "still captures the intention of the source material in a satisfying way", Motamayor wrote that The Promised Neverland was not planning on telling its own story, but rather skipping the chapters of the manga "to be done with the story as soon as humanly possible", still telling enough story that resembles the manga's plot, "but taking way [sic] whatever made it impactful in the first place", adding that it was similar to the final season of Game of Thrones.
