While it's true that this is my first review I've written in my entire life, I decide it is time that that should change, and what better way than to write my first one about this fairly new series : Yakusoku no Neverland or the Promised Neverland.

Yakusoku no Neverland (YnN for short) is a shonen manga published in the famous magazine Weekly Shonen Jump, it has so far 38 chapters. The manga had a rough start but begin to gain more fame as the story progressed, and for good reasons: This manga in unlike anything I've ever read before, and believe me, I've read a lot of mangas in my life, let me tell you why.

Story: 10/10
The premise in itself is not unique, a group of orphans from 1 to 13 years old lives in a house, happily with their "Mama", who takes care of them, love them as much as she could and also makes them take intelligence tests. They discover, after, the dark secret of the Orphanage, which sets the story in motion. What this manga does so well is taking this concept into a whole new level, by making the story follow a logical, fast paced succession of events, intelligent dialogue, and most of all, the tension that builds up in every chapter, making it hard to imagine a way for the MCs to "win" in the end. It then that this dystopian story distinguish itself from the realm of dystopian stories which grew a lot this years.

Art : 8/10
The art isn't anything special at all, but what I found very well expressed was the tension and the dynamics of character, I can understand why some people may dislike the art, but nonetheless, it does the job for this manga.

Character : 9/10
Characters can be a tricky thing to write for any story writer, making the story progress while maintaining a good character development is quit hard, and it's even harder when the story is this fast paced. YnN did that quite well in the last 38 chapters, it's a feat most mangas can't accomplish with much chapters. The key word to describe every character in YnN would be "Smart",and that is what sets this manga apart from the rest. The 3 MCs are very different from each other, their solutions to the problems are very different and very unique, and there what I'll call : "The logical will of fire", which I'll let you the joy of discovering it. a part from the main heros, the other characters we have a villain cast that is also very well written.

Enjoyment : 10/10
YnN is a very unique read, you find yourself in the shoes of the MCs whenever they encounter problems, you can relate yourself to any of them. It's a wonderful experience.

Overall : 10/10
YnN is the new best manga of this generation, comparable to the genius of Death Note
I recommend to anyone who hasn't read

I hope my review will intrigue you enough to go read the manga.
