When this series first appeared in mid-2016- I was hooked. So were my friends. A fresh series unique and intriguing something I haven't seen in some time. The connection to the characters and their state of mind, the evolving and yet mysterious plot of Grace Field and this post-apocalyptic utopia they lived in crashing in the face of a reality they could never have thought of. It was original and addicting. The main cast is young and smart, naive and yet ever evolving as the series progresses. Every week, I waited for my latest chapter, wondering their fate, the outcome of their plots of escaping and surviving, who would be the next cast member to bid farewell to. In all, there are still mysteries in Promised Neverland and it never disappoints. Hopefully, we will learn more of Musika, the demon king, the human world and how all this ties up with Minerva.
Do I recommend it:

The Promised Neverland
Set in year 2045, Emma is an 11-year-old orphan living in Grace Field House, a small orphanage housing her and her 37 siblings. Life had never been better; with food that tasted gourmet, plush beds, snow-white uniforms, and the love of their "Mother" (the caretaker) Isabella, as well the litany of daily exams that Emma always aced with her two best friends Ray and Norman. The orphans are basically allowed to do whatever they want, except venture out of the compounds or the gate that connects the house to the outside world.
On a fateful night, an orphan named Conny is sent away to be adopted, but Emma and Norman follow her after noticing that she had left her stuffed rabbit toy, Bernie, back at the house. Sneaking out, they find Conny dead and the truth of the existence of this supposed orphanage to be a farm where human children are raised as food for demonic creatures. Worse still, Isabella is in allegiance with the demons, ripping away at everything the two ever thought they knew. Determined to break out of Grace Field House, Norman and Emma partner up with Ray to peel away at the façade of the farm and find a way to escape with all their other siblings.
