Manga Review: The Promised Neverland, Volume 14, by Kaiu Shirai and Posuka Demizu


Rating (Out of 5): ~4
Publisher: Shonen Jump (VIZ Media)

Volume: 1. 13. 15.

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:

Finally, the reunion happens. I knew it was coming soon (that was kind of spoiled for me already), and yet I didn't quite expect this.
This answers some of the questions regarding Minerva, but it also leads to so many potential problems.
The beginning moments are very sappy, because it's so good to see them together again, and their parting was so heartbreaking so many volumes ago. But then it's very bittersweet, because this should be absolutely a good thing, and yet there's a turn of events that changes some things. I understand where each side is coming from, and it's not surprising at all where Emma stands. We're also not fully sure what Norman's plans are, and I don't trust that.
This was a very big volume. It was sweet and potentially awful, and I'm not sure which direction is more prominent just yet.
Still an absolute must-follow series. I highly recommend it and I can't wait to see what happens next.
