Manga Review: The Promised Neverland, Volume 12, by Kaiu Shirai and Posuka Demizu


Rating (Out of 5): ~4
Publisher: Shonen Jump (VIZ Media)
Release Date: October 2019
Volumes: 16+
Spoilers?: Light.
Volume: 1. 11. 13.

Goodreads Synopsis:

The children of the Grace Field House orphanage must escape a macabre fate before it’s too late.

Life at Grace Field House is good for Emma and her fellow orphans. While the daily studying and exams they have to take are tough, their loving caretaker provides them with delicious food and plenty of playtime. But perhaps not everything is as it seems…

Review:

The plot is moving along rather quickly. We finish one battle, and then the group moves onto another step forward.
They're living rather nicely in the underground hide-out, waiting on a phone call, while continuing to research, and even going out on undercover missions to get more answers. Emma gets an interesting piece of the puzzle in this volume.
But then everything gets thrown through a curve, as they're discovered.
This might be leading to a real sad ending for some, but it also causes a big problem for the rest of them. They were safe there—where else could they go? They've been getting along really well and they know how to handle themselves in the world, too, but that doesn't mean it's not incredibly dangerous and there's too many of them to be out there in the open for long.
I think the releases of this series have slowed down? I'm not okay with this, and might actually be forced to resort to buying the single chapters, as I'm pretty sure they're available that way online. It's already hard to avoid spoilers when I go on twitter, I don't need to fall even more behind.
