Imagine this scenario: a seemingly idyllic life in which a small group of children are raised to be their best selves, spending their days learning, playing, and enjoying good food at an orphanage run by a loving caretaker. But there’s a catch to this paradise, a dark secret that the children discover that forces them to embark on a journey that reveals the truth of the world around them. That’s the premise of The Promised Neverland, a dark fantasy series that you can read through in one sitting thanks to this deal on the the complete manga box set that just launched last month.
Written by Kaiu Shirai and illustrated by Posuka Demizu, all 20 volumes are available in one hefty collection at Amazon. Normally,$180, you can save 26% on this collection and get it for only $134 right now. Alongside all 20 paperback volumes, you’ll get an exclusive booklet and a double-sided full-color poster to complement this set.
We’re not going to say anything more about the plot, because going in blind really is the best, but this series is defintely worth picking up if you like fantasy manga. The art is elegantly detailed and wonderfully grotesque when it needs to be; the story moves along at a suspenseful pace; and the journey that the cast goes on is full of incredible highs and lows. Critically acclaimed during its original run, The Promised Neverland also received an anime series that did a fine job adapting the manga for television screens.
For more manga to pick up and enjoy on a cold day as winter draws closer, you can check out these deals on Berserk, Tokyo Ghoul, and Bleach.
