The season 2 of the adored anime “The Promised Neverland” disappointed fans of Emma and her friends. Haste – that’s what the viewer saw in the new episodes. The director showed the events covering chapters 38 to 181 of the manga so quickly that this directly affected the rating of the anime. Since all chapters of the manga have received adaptations, there will most likely not be a continuation of the series. However, critics are sure that other stories can be created based on the original manga, which theoretically can be filmed. We continue to follow the news.
Plot
The gate connects the orphanage with the outside world. And what is behind them? Mom Isabella told the children that it was very dangerous outside the gates, so they should not leave the territory. Children of “Grace Field House” obeyed their mother unquestioningly, because they loved her for her kindness and affection. All the inhabitants of the House lived as one big happy family. Until Emma and Norman accidentally find out the truth.
One day a holiday came for one little girl – her foster parents took her away. Saying goodbye to the boys and girls, Conny went with Isabella outside the gate. Seeing Conny’s forgotten toy, which she never let go of her hands, Emma and Norman ran after her. However, the guys had to see an unimaginable horror: Conny’s lifeless body was lying in the truck with the rest of the garbage. Overhearing the conversation of the two monsters, Emma and Norman learned that “Grace Field House” is a factory for the production of high quality meat, raised for wealthy customers.

Seeing the true face of “Mom”, the guys began to come up with an escape plan. But it’s not that simple. The three of them can escape, taking Ray, their best friend. But for Emma, saving all children, without exception, became the initial task…
As a result, Emma managed to implement Norman’s brilliant plan. After destroying the orphanage, on the territory of “Grace Field House” there were kids who also need to be saved. For them, Emma will definitely come back later. But Isabella’s shelter is far from the only one, which means that all unsuspecting hostages must be rescued. The adventures of Emma and her friends continue…

According to the writer, the “conflict” of the main characters, mother and daughter, created in this way, should be interesting to the reader.
- The manga was illustrated by Posuka Demizu, who admitted that he devoted most of his time to the image of Emma. Because of this, she became the most difficult character of all to create. By the way, before Emma’s statement, she had long hair. Then it was decided to fix it for a short haircut in order to remove the girl’s excessive femininity, bringing her closer to a masculine strong-willed image.
