The Promised Neverland, Vol. 5

Today's post is on The Promised Neverland, Vol. 5 by Kaiu Shirai and Posuka Demizu (Illustrator). It is 195 pages long and is published by Viz Media. The cover has Emma facing the read with her arms out to protect the others has they run away. As it is the fifth volume in the series, you need to have read the first four to understand the story. The intended reader is someone who likes dark stories with plucky children. There is no foul language, no sex, and mild violence in this volume. The story follows Emma, Ray and others as needed. There Be Spoilers Ahead.

From the back of the manga- ESCAPE!
As Grace Field House goes up in flames, Emma and the other children make their run for freedom. With Mom refusing to give up and an army of demons at her call, this escape from captivity won’t be easy. Just what will Emma have to sacrifice to pull it off…?

Review- The children make their escape safely and now are in the outside world. Emma and Ray knew that it would be dangerous but the dangers surpass their guesses. But the children have good heads and have been training for this, so they are as ready as they can be. It feels like the real story is starting now with the children in the real world and facing it's dangers. In addition they are still being hunted by the demons from Grace Field House, who do not like to lose their future meals. I am very curious about the world outside of the walls and what the children are going to find there. 

I give this volume a Five out of Five stars. I get nothing for my review and I bought this manga with my own money.
