The Promised Neverland is an atmospheric look into the dark world of Grace Field House. Emma, Norman, and Ray are the oldest and smartest of the orphans.
They spend their days playing tag, reading, and caring for their juniors. Emma and Norman discover the House's terrible secret and share it with Ray, who helps them plan an escape.
Emma has never known anything except Grace Field House, the orphanage where she and over thirty other children live.
Their daily lives consist of white clothing, neck barcodes, daily tests, and good-byes once they turn 12 years old. However, this feeling of normalcy shifts into more desperation when she and her brother, Norman, discover one of their siblings is killed by monsters which they call demons. Suddenly, their entire worldview is changed, and they realize they have to escape before they are next on the menu quicker.
With Emma being your stereotypical ditsy girl character. She is bright, but not as smart as the boys, and her overly trusting nature makes her naΓ―ve. While her feet are swifter than anyone else, she can never win a game of tag against Norman. Out of the three, she has the most trouble hiding her feelings.
While Ray who always is reading, and his book knowledge combines with a nearly supernatural memory to create street smarts.
And Norman who is intellectually the smartest. Since he's a brilliant strategist, capable of anticipating nearly any move the enemy makes.
But kind heart is a weakness, and he often follows Emma's crazy plans to appease her. Though care is clear in his actions, Norman is careful not to let his expressions give away his thoughts.
Can they escape letting everyone at the orphanage live..?
