Summary: Read the manga The Promised Neverland. Emma, an 11-year-old orphan, lives at Grace Field House, a self-contained orphanage that houses her and 37 other orphans. They have a wonderful existence, with plenty of food, luxurious beds, clean clothing, games, and Isabella, their "Mom." Their education is valued as a crucial element of their growth, and Emma, along with her two closest pals Norman and Ray, consistently do well in regular tests. The orphans have unlimited freedom, with the exception of venturing beyond the perimeter wall or gate that separates the residence from the outside world. Conny, a little girl, is taken away to be "adopted" one night, but Emma and Norman accompany her with her beloved stuffed animal toy. They uncover Conny's body at the gate and learn the truth about their life at this gorgeous orphanage — to be reared as meat for demons. Emma and Norman conspire with Ray to flee Grace Field House with the children, but Norman is kidnapped and "adopted." Emma and Ray then decide to go with some of their older siblings, abandoning the younger siblings.
There are several types of manga available. However, many of them have dull character traits, harem-filled storylines, or incomprehensible narrative. The Promised Neverland does not experience the same issues. If I were to compare TPN to anything, it would be Shutter Island meets Battle Royale, with a sprinkle of Death Note and a splash of Peter Pan thrown in for good measure. It's a hidden treasure that everyone should read. The Promised Neverland's main narrative is that newborns are reared at the Grace Fieldhouse by their carer, known as Mama. The youngsters must take difficult daily written tests, but otherwise spend the most of their time as a family playing outdoors. Sounds like a good time, doesn't it? Wrong! The orphanage is revealed to be a farm in the first chapter, with the children serving as the meat. Can you see where this is going? Soylent Green's domain. On top of that, the customers are really devils, which adds a new twist to the story. This is not your run-of-the-mill tale.
