The Promised Neverland

Emma loves Norman.

Who else here /ready for the Norman-gets-eaten gore scene/?

>>154538070
NE best ship.

We don't need generals.

if norman is REALLY dead, its the first time in a while i seriously mourn a manga character

he was a waifufag, but still

>>154538297
There's nothing wrong with being a waifufag for someone as cute as Emma.

>>154538364
>it's not gay if ...
It still is.

>>154538297
He's obviously not dead.

They'll put him into this facility nigga mama was talking about and he'll become a scientist.

>>154538405
>They'll put him into this facility nigga mama was talking about and he'll become a scientist
What for? Aren't there thousands of super-genius kids like him in farms?

>>154538405
After he found out the truth about the world an formed a strong resolve to help others break out, the demons will trust him to perform services for them?

Doubt it.

>>154538385
Emma is really fucking cute. You can't blame him.

>>154538445
Maybe they will have a competition. Like Norman could be easily the smartest kid out of those other geniuses.

>>154538448
Nigga mama also had to compete with other girls in order to become a mama apprentice.

>>154538531
>waifufag till death
>smart

Pick neither.

>>154538405
Will he have to cook Emma for demons?

Reposted because the other thread is dead.

Guys, if mama is really evil or neutral, Norman is dead, and we'll find out he's dead in the next chapter.

But, I can't help but think Norman isn't going to be killed only because the way this chapter ended. Too many roundabouts and ambiguity. If the author wants Norman dead, the poor kid will be already dead in this chapter.

We'll find out next chapter but the thing is clear now:

- If Norman dies the next chapter. Mama is certainly not in the good side, best case scenario she is neutral, like an emotionless machine.

- If Norman survives for some reason, that pretty much confirm Mama is somehow attached to the kids and she'll try to help them in some way, maybe not all the kids will recieve this help but at least she won't be labeled as a cruel empty broken human being anymore.

>>154538597
Norman, Emma and Ray are the smartest kids in Isabella's facility so the demons will obviously use them for something more profitable than simply being food.

Emma will go the mama route.
Norman will go the scientist route.
Dunno about Ray.

>>154538625

you're probably right

What's his expression trying to convey any way?

Doesn't seem like it something horrific, more like a mild surprise, disappointment and dejection?

Who /mama/ here?

>>154538845
it could be something horrific, i would like to argue

I'll repost my findings in these thread, since there are a lot of people who didn't read them, and could find them enjoyable.

Has anyone theorized the meaning of the code on the pen yet ? I'm sure it's related to the undecipherable morse code.

I don't know about the stereotypical adventure (Peter Pan?) but for the weird mythological story Ray is thinking about a creature who looks like an angel. So the B can stand for "Bible"? Surely to someone who wasn't raised as a christian the Bible is really weird. Maybe the numbers refer to some Bible quote?
I checked the VIZ scans for the high quality to search for other hints that the two books are indeed the Bible and Peter Pan.
I'm sorry if someone else noticed this before, but I must have missed it.

So, I looked at the little details in previous chapters and I've found a couple interesting things that can be noticed if you look closely.

>>154538890
First, in this panels Ray is holding a book with a picture on its cover; it could be a flying ship, but the picture is too blurry and small. If this was a flying ship, it could be (maybe) the back-cover of the book on the bottom right corner in chapter 14 if I recall correctly, which portraited a very clear flying ship with the word NEVER on it (reference to Neverland?). Anyway this isn't really significant other than Ray has already that book at hand.

>>154538877
Fair enough. Now that I look at it again you could be right.

Although Japanese artists usually depict something like that with much smaller pin-point pupils.

>>154538946

Then after this scene, Emma is searching for another book, and Ray tells her it's under the pile of books with the Minerva Ex-Libris. Both of them are talking about ONE single book ,not two, like the ones they're looking at after this. So, unless the translation is wrong, or there is ambiguity in japanese ( I actually recall that sometimes singular and plural can't be differentiated but I don't speak japanese so I don't know, if someone can confirm it would be much appreciated), they already have one of them, and I think it's the one Ray is holding, and from the looks of the cover, it would probably be the adventure one, not the mythological one.

i get the feeling like this plot is far bigger than we perceived thus far.

we already know that there are multiple farms, as well as multiple parties outside the farm world.

>>154538956
I'll never forgive him if so

In the next page we have more hints:

The book on the left has a clear picture of an angel and other details.
In the bottom panel Ray is thinking about an angel and a cup (the Holy Grail) for the mythological one and a spyglass, a map and a cap with goggles. I don't know about the goggles, but the map and the spyglass have "pirate story" written all over it.

It looked like the code was something that Norman understood right away.
He played chess in previous chapters, so I thought maybe the code has something to do with ECO (chess openings).

Then in the cover of one of the books (from the looks of it I think it's the "Bible") there's a dragon fighting against some warriors. I don't know what it means, maybe something about the apocalypse, I really don't know, but I don't think it's about the "Peter Pan" one (unless the dragon is actually the Peter Pan crocodile kek)
and we see a part of the title, it looks like an "..ED" but I don't know what to make out of it
maybe the SACRED BIBLE? The letter before the E doesn't look like an R though, so I don't know

Then Emma states that these books will be a guide to the outside world, based on a hunch, but I bet this is true.

So, how will the pen come into play in this?

I think the B stand for Bible and 06-32 may be a quote that hold significant information.

What do you think?

We can only wonder what happened to him because we have never seen how do they treat top kids.

>>154540483
At least it's pretty obvious he's alive, that's good enough for now.

Norman won't die because he discovered the pen, and that tiny little plot line wouldn't be complete if he died.

I fucking told you idiots. MAMA was the good guy all along. They are trying to create a resistance against the demons, recruiting the best child soldiers.

Viz removed the entire TPN logo for some reason.

>>154538297
If he was dead they'd show it. The fact that they leave it at a cliffhanger like that confirms his survival. He was probably just moved to another farm, we already know that Mama wants to keep these three alive for the feast even.

It's a WSJ series, I'll be surprised if any of the main trio die this early on.

mama and her organization are part of the resistance. when she says "i was able to meet someone like you" she means norman will be a valuable asset.

she can't act ooc at the orphanage because the establishment has a way of monitoring her, but the one blind spot is right at the entrance.

>>154542308
I dont think she actually scheduled to have Norman shipped out. Remember, she told Ray that the next shipment was supposed to be in January, and Ray just assumed that was his date? This is a shipment that seems to have been scheduled without them knowing

>>154543106
The point is if she would help Norman to get away to place X, what will she do when the Tifari comes and they request him?

Norman joining to resistance group is total bullshit

"First love" is one of the longest lasting infatuations. It can last for many, many years, even if there's no contact with the crushee during that time.

>>154545084
This is true. And taking into account shounen tropes it's clear Norman's waifuism is here to stay.

>>154545084
It depends, but I don't think Norman and Emma will forget each other.

>>154545404
Maybe this will be a case of "absence makes the heart grow fonder". Should make for an interesting reunion.

Nah, mama is definitely cold-blooded when it comes to getting the job done. The author has been clear about that. Norman surviving doesn't mean she cares, just that Norman can be useful. Emma will probably be the one to crack her with 'muh positivity'.

The author actually confirmed that some fans had decoded the pen's message somewhere on the internet. They also figured out how many farms there were before it was revealed.

Demizu is publishing an english version of his artbook:
>Posuka Demizu is a rising star among manga artists whose new title, The Promised Neverland, created with co-author Kaiu Shirai, is currently running in the manga magazine Weekly Shonen Jump in Japan.
>This first collection of Posuka’s work features outstanding art works from his career so far, along with new illustrations created especially for this edition.
>Readers will appreciate seeing Posuka's vibrant characters and compositions rendered in his characteristically precise style, gathered together for the first time in a single volume.

>>154538445
>What for? Aren't there thousands of super-genius kids like him in farms?

Well, Isabell's farm has the best reputation, and the main trio are highly respected for their intellect even by the other 10+ year olds who didn't get culled.

I'd imagine that Norman is quite possibly the smartest kid of at least the five local farms.

>>154538445
>>154553709
I remember seeing a panel where we see the test results from different farms and one farm had only one kid with perfect score.

It's crazy that this series didn't get axed and is popular with younger jump readers. I figured a girl protagonist with no battles would have been a death sentence for sure. I'm pretty happy about it.

>>154553849

I mean he'll probably live but still.

>>154556095
Why, though? As a main character in what's a shounen at the end of the day, the amount of death flags he had just made it obvious he wasn't actually dying in the end.

>>154556162
I think it would take guts to kill him.

I wanna see the author take a risk.

Then again, my only girlfriend was three and a half years older than me, so maybe I'm just into older women.

A little bit, yeah. But nothing will take away their interactions in the early chapters. Or the smut about them I'm writing.

>>154560341
What if the new girl is similar to Mama personality wise?
I assume it's still less hot for you because she'd not an older woman but would it make it a bit better?

she wouldn't be an older woman*

>>154560430
>the new girl is similar to Mama personality wise
That would still work for me.
Honestly, the /ss/ aspect only came heh afterwards. What really made me like the Isabella/Ray ship was their interactions, so if a new girl pops up who can have a similar chemistry with Ray, I'd be happy.

>>154560557
Then I'll have my fingers crossed for you, anon. I think it's possible, maybe a jaded survivor from another farm.

>>154560341
>I guess I'm just attracted
So Ray is your self-insert?

>>154560661
Eh, I wouldn't go that far. As I said, what made me interested Isabella/Ray was their interactions, and it's still the main reason I like them, but what closed the deal for me was the age gap.

So, while I would definitely fuck Isabella, I honestly just want to see these two together.

I mean, do the people who ship Norman and Emma do it to self-insert as Norman? Sure, some do, but a lot ship them because they like the pairing.

>>154560616
That does raise the question of what's going on at the other farms. Sure, this one has the best cattle, but surely there must be highly intelligent kids who realised what's going on in the other farms.

>>154561243
What is the age difference between Ray and Isabella?

>>154561243
As a NEfag, I admit I started liking it because I was (am) a massive Normanfag and wanted him to be happy but then we started getting more insight on it and interactions and I legitimately started to love it.
So honestly, I sort of went through the same as you so I can understand it. You do you, pal.

>>154560991
because jap males love the idea of being bigger than someone.

>>154561243
I'm sure there have to be intelligent kids in other farms. Maybe just a significant less number than Isabella can produce but that still makes way for us to meet some other genius children along the way.

20 years, according to the wiki, so definitely straight shota territory. Also, there's a wiki, who would've known.

Guess what helps matters is that the main trio don't act their age and are more like teenagers than prepubescent boys and girls.
