The Promised Neverland has been one of the most influential anime of the decade, which unlike the shonen genre does not entirely focus on all-out feats of strength. Initially released in Shueisha’s Weekly Shonen Jump in 2016.
This story revolves around Emma, Norman and Ray, 3 kids at the Grace Field House Orphanage and their discovery about the disturbing truth regarding the person they call “mom”. A live-action movie has been announced for the franchise.
The production house tweeted out confirmation regarding the release earlier this year. The movie is expected to be released in December 2020. New stills from the movie have also been released.
