Review: The Promised Neverland Vol 1 by Kaiu Shirai

**spoiler alert** **I was provided an electronic copy from the publisher through NetGalley in exchange for honest review.**

Actual rating: 3.5

Kaiu Shirai’s The Promised Neverland is a twisted fantasy manga. Readers follow Emma, Ray, and Norman (per VIZ translations to English) as they live in Grace Field House. Emma and Norman learn their orphanage is actually a farm in which humans are raised as food for demons. Their goal becomes escape.

This was definitely an interesting manga. I enjoyed the story and art style, and felt there was a good start to the series. I’m not overly attached to the characters just yet, but would be interested in continuing with the next volume.
