The Promised Neverland creator duo of writer Kaiu Shirai and illustrator Posuka Demizu recently announced a short stories series scheduled for release on 3rd September 2021. Each set will cost $5 or ¥528 and will have 200 pages per volume.
The volume set will also include an epilogue to The Promised Neverland titled “Dream Come True,” along with many other published and unpublished works from the creators.
The circus-themes cover of the upcoming volume has our favorite characters riding animals ranging from an elephant to a giraffe to an oversized parrot. The colorful and joyous illustration contrasts the theme “hunting children for food” of this haunting series.
Nevertheless, this cover does put a smile on my face after the failure for The Promised Neverland season 2!
The epilogue to the manga series is sure to follow right after Ray, and the rest of the kids meet up with Emma after she secured everyone’s freedom at the cost of her memories. Though the manga gives us a quick glimpse at the fate of each character, it certainly isn’t that detailed.
The volume set will give us more insight into the human world as the original manga did with the demon world. Additionally, the first-ever publication of Kaiu Shirai and Posuka Demizu’s other work will surely be a treat for any fan of these talented mangakas.
If you are a fan of The Promised Neverland series, this short story series will be an excellent addition to your collection. This set is also a great relief to the masses that this hidden gem is not forgotten!
Truthfully, Neverland deserves more love than it’s currently given, and I hope its time to shine is not that far away!
