I recently came across this brilliant manga, and I'm sure that this manga has potential to be one of the greats. I only wish that when they make an anime adaptation they make it good so that it also gets a wider audience. For this manga deserves the recognition. This is my first review. I could let it be without writing a review. It is THAT good.

What makes this manga so great ? (This is my opinion)

Apart from the easily recognizable , brilliant world building, art and characters. What makes The Promised Neverland a potential classic of all time is the philosophy behind it and the moral questions it makes us think over.

We have seen countless shonen manga making the villans stay in the grey by giving them a background story and justifying their actions. To me this is the first manga which has antagonists who are not bad even without any backstory or reasoning to their actions. They managed to stay grey just by staying true to who they are.

The overarching question to humanity about Are we any different ? resonates in every single chaper. This presents the moral dilema of ruling over an intelligent species. Farms, Hunting grounds are not something different to humans. We had them, we still have them, We will have them. and the story progression also explores the different aspects of hunting in a beautiful way to ask these questions more.

This presents us with a situation of how, nature and morality would be different if we were not the only intelligent species on this planet.

Every chapter leaves you with a thought !

Every chapter leaves you with a question !

Not just about the story of the manga but about ourselves.

I know this is early, but i hope they don't try to unnecessarily escalate the story like many shonen classics did and forget it's root. I really hope it stays true to it's original philosophy till the end.

I hope my rant made you wanna pick this manga up.
