The complete Promised Neverland saga in one stunning box set! In addition to all 20 volumes of the suspense hit, the box set contains an exclusive booklet and a double-sided full-color poster.
i prefer to review the whole series at once, like an album as opposed to songs. at the heart of this manga is a really good story that made me cry on multiple occasions. the characters are nothing special in the grand scheme of things, but they play into each other really well.
however, i cannot get behind the multiple appeals to authority. they are endless.
and i didnt like the attempt to appeal to modern issues toward the end, with allusions to COVID and modern racial issues (it’s not that i disliked it for being political, but instead that in their attempt, they fell flat on their faces.).
and it seemed like this manga’s solution to all political issues is seeing the humanity in all people and trying to do as little violence as possible — bad takes.
but again, i cried like a baby. it was very easy to get attached to the characters. they grew and triumphed, and i wish them the best in their fictional futures.
although, second critique, it seemed that ray didnt really get to have his own influence in the later parts of this. he became very side character, would have liked to see more of the plot around him.
Enjoyed this series so much! Each chapter and volume made me want to keep on reading and it felt very easy to read (presumably because it is a manga with not a lot of words). The art was also really well made.
This is a masterpiece. An amazing story. Beats the hell out of your typical male protagonist that has to kick the shit out of every bad guy. I hope to find more hidden gems like this series. Give it a read, it's epic. Read into it. Discover things you never knew about yourself.
The first volume was the best one, with a real feeling of mystery and cleverness around how the kids plan out their escape and the impossibility of their success. After that while it's not outright bad the story never reaches the same highs, and intoruduces cool plots or elements but rushes them or creates less inventive means of escape that hamper the narrative. Overall it was good at times great, at times boring and lousy.
It’s a 5 star series overall but the ending really let it down in my opinion, it could have been so much better. But I absolutely loved this series so much!
Geweldig! geen moment vond ik het saai. Ik heb deze hele serie met heel veel plezier gelezen. Een absolute aanrader voor wie houdt van psychologische drama en spannende fictie
