The Promised Neverland Vol 4 PV and Cover

>>158709898
>Explicit threesome on the cover
Why is Emma such a lewd girl?

I want the manga to start showing different points of view, but they're probably saving Norman for a twist...

>>158709898
This manga is going to become a smash hit and reach the top 10 best selling manga of 2018. Screencap this.

>>158709898
Shit I dig this music. Anime when?

OP, your image almost looks like a photo in the background. I had hope that they would release physical copies of the manga for a moment there.

>>158709898
Anime when?

>>158709898
How is Emma so absolutely perfect?

>>158709898
Norman looks content, Emma looks kind of worried and Ray just looks like he has a stick up his ass.

whats this about? some school for orphans?

>>158710968
What is Norman's smug expression trying to convey?

>>158710968
>Norman barely holding Ray's hand
What does it mean?

Emma's hand is so soft

>>158711056
Ray is also not really holding Emma's. Doubt it means much.

>>158711056
>Emma being the one to hold rays hand
>Norman being the one to hold Emmas hand

Kek. Ray is gonna cuck Norma

>>158711070
Back off, that's my wife.

>>158711103
I know this is a shitpost but if this meant anything then Ray'd be a massive faggot since he's the one grabbing Norman.

>>158710968
What site is this from and did they post the new Hunter x Hunter cover?

>>158711056
He's not into that gay shit

>>158711056
Norman isn't holding Ray's hand. Ray is holding Norman's hand.

Norman is holding Emma's hand.

>>158712638
Technically nobody is really holding back but Norman looks like he's trying really hard not to make it gay.

>>158710968
>Norman -> Emma -> Ray -> Norman

Seems complicated.

>Ray and Emma looking outward suspiciously

No wonder Ray is best boy

>expecting anything else of a waifufag

If these threads are already nothing but waifufags I don't have an ounce of hope for this.

>>158712980
I think just from an artistic perspective, it's cute.
Everyone is a cycle.
I will point out, though, that Norman is actively wrapping his finger's around Emma's hand, but Norman and Ray are barely touching.

Ray just looks annoyed that he's holding hands to begin with.

I feel like it should also be noted that people don't hold hands in Japan. Even married or dating couples don't do it in public, unless one's a Westerner.

>>158713236
It's a thread where only a cover was posted. There's nothing to discuss about except shitposting about the handholding on said cover.

>>158713236
The threads are always shit.

>>158713246
The characters aren't meant to be japanese though, I don't think? There was that one omake or something where the demons were interested in japanese culture. So it might be normal for the kids.
Ray looking like he doesn't want to hold hands with Norman or Emma is probably just because of the kind of characters he is, likewise for Norman latching onto her.
Emma's just really nice to it's understandable she seems comfortable with them.

>>158709898
>Things are gonna get interesting from now on!

Nice.

They're shit because they've been dead lately. They literally feed on shitposts to survive.

>>158713352
>The characters aren't meant to be Japanese though, I don't think
Ray would be the only one that could be inferred to be part Asian, but there's plenty of people who fit the olive skin and dark hair image.
They are most likely being raised with European views, but it still doesn't change that this series was written for Japanese. Regardless, hand holding in series is meant to represent a deep bond, Not that I really have to say that
>>158713407
This

>>158709898
I'll just go out and say it. This cover rivals Naruto in terms of gayness

>>158713464
Yeah, I have my doubts he's japanese unless they really want to shoehorn that in sort of like SnK. But I doubt it for now.
I agree the handholding is meant to be important but I don't know, things like Norman not really holding on to Ray don't have a double meaning like him secretly hating his guts or something. That's what I meant, sorry.

>>158713500
>boys reluctant to hold hands
>one has a vicegrip on the grill
>gay

>>158713595
Ray holds more onto Normans hands than he does Emma's. I didn't really come here to ship btw. I'm just pointing it out.

>>158713557
I never thought that it meant it hated his guts.
I thought we were pointing it out like autists because it was funny.

>>158710968
>norman holding emma tightly
>emma holding ray tightly
>ray barely holding norman

What does this mean? I hope to god there isn't some shitty love triangle.

>>158713623
I always got the impression Ray prefers Norman to Emma so I guess it makes sense.

>>158713652
Is TPN written by a woman?

>>158713625
I think some people are taking it seriously though, look below.
>>158713652
It means you're overanalyzing it.

>>158713652
Emma would hold everyone's hand with equal integrity.

>>158713681
>I always got the impression Ray prefers Norman to Emma so I guess it makes sense.
In terms of intellect and personality I can see how you would come to that conclusion. Ray being all edgy and Emma being 'muh lets save everyone'. But I thought the same about Naruto and was wrong.

>>158713683
No, it's written by a man and illustrated by a woman.

>>158710968
is this what they call foreshadowing?

>>158713716
I would compare Naruto more to Emma than anything, to be honest. She seems like the one who likes them all equally.
Norman obviously prefers Emma, I guess Ray's dismissals of her made me think he just likes Norman more because he can relate.

>>158710109
Probably. People love plot twists and keikakus. But the characterization is pretty weak.

>>158709898
Anyone who sees the covers and cps must think that Emma is a great MC.

>>158709898
Anyone who reads moon knows what Oda and Akimoto are saying?

>>158713978
They think right, Emma is perfect.

>>158714044
Yeah, she's a perfect plot device.

>>158714082
Everyone's a plot device in this series.

>>158714099
I agree.

>>158713978
Why would they infer that?
Just because she's trapped in a wine glass or being hatched from an egg doesn't mean that she's a great MC. It just means that the author likes to be poetic.

>>158714368
To be fair, she looks really cool in most CPs.

>>158710968
I think I agree with the anon from the last thread. Emma's hair is definitely growing out. She looks like she's becoming a lion.

>>158714368
Because she is always in the center, always leading the action, but in the story, it is she who is led.

>>158714485
It does look longer than it was. Is she going to try and cover up the missing ear with it?

>>158714541
See, this is just my opinion but this makes me like her more than Norman or Ray. They solve things fast, there's no tension or anything. They just know and everything's solved. The fact that she's intelligent but not perfect makes her more interesting than the other two combined to me. Which is why I'm pleased Norman is gone for a while and Ray is going that route too. I think she can offer more to the story than them if they're not there to gary stu their way out of it all.
Again, this is just me but I really feel like she can be a good MC.

>>158714657
I don't know if I would have even liked Norman if he didn't admit to having a crush on Emma. It was such a bold move for the beginning of a series that I just had to root for him.

>>158714785
I like Norman and Ray, don't get me wrong. I just think they're too perfect and it can get boring.
However, I prefer Norman of the two exactly because of his crush on Emma. At least it gives him a degree of humanity that sometimes gets in the way of what would be a perfect plan. Ray's only quirk was that he gave up too quick and look at that, it's solved already.

>>158710968

At first I was going to comment on how Ray seems to be no homo-ing both Norman and Emma. He doesn't really look like he wants to be holding hands with either of them at first glance. But the longer I looked at it the more I questioned the position of his hands.

It looks like he's about to curl his fingers around Emma's and return the gesture. Like its symbolizing them coming to terms with one another - or trying to anyway.

Then it looks like he's actually reaching for Norman's hand but Norman is retracting from the touch? Could it possibly mean to imply that Ray was under the impression that he was on equal ground with Norman but the latters keikkaku was actually above Ray's understanding? In shorter terms, that Norman is simply out of his reach?

Norman grasping Emma's hand is about as unsurprising as it can get and I think the only thing it could possibly symbolize is that he's always supporting her, no matter what.

And of course, Emma clutching Ray's hand is her resolve to not let him go, no matter what stupidly suicidal ideas he comes up with.

>>158715080
Ray is a tsundere who doesn't want his friends to realize he cares.

>>158714657
I feel like she can be a good MC too, she's the only one of the three who has any real personality traits. But again, the forte of this series is not characterization (40 chapters have passed! 40!), and she is still more of an assistant than a captain.

>>158714785
Really? Honestly, I found his love for her poorly developed.

>>158715286
I'm crossing my fingers that this temporary separation from both Norman and Ray can do some good for the series. We won't be following them but her instead so here's hoping it lasts at least a bit.

>>158715335
I think it was okay. I don't think there needs to be a huge reasoning behind loving someone. The bigger problem to me is that there's little to him besides that love, that's why everyone says he's just a waifufag. He's going to end up being nothing but the love interest and that sucks.

>>158715335
Of course it was. It was admitted in the fourth chapter. Besides, he grew up with her. She may have reminded him of Mama.
Having someone near you care about others unconditionally and still having special time for you is appealing. Who doesn't want a doting waifu?

>>158715572
>he wants to make her a mama too
I see how it is.

>>158715335
It would have been more meaningful if his love made him place saving Emma more important than saving the others and the consequences of it. Too bad he just follows what Emma wants because love.

>>158715685
>Too bad he just follows what Emma wants
Infatuation makes you do stupid shit

>>158715685
Originally he was giving off some yandere vibes when he said he'd do anything for her.
Then he started sucking her non existent dick.

>>158715773
Maybe we'll get yandere Norman when he next sees Emma.

>>158715847
Unless the demons brainwash him really hard somehow, I kind of doubt it. The guy's so whipped he tried to die for her ideals.

>>158715495
My problem is that I can not even feel that he's in love. This love is more a storytelling tool than something genuine. I mean, I know Kaoru loves Kenshin by the way she looks at him, she thinks of him, she talks to him, she cares about him. She doesn't have to say that she likes him, just to see them together we know. In Neverland, if Norman hadn't said he loves Emma, I can not say I would know (or care).

>>158715954
I think I have to disagree here, I had a feeling he had a thing for her even before he said it from the way he looked at her. But I definitely think there needs to be more focus on it outside "I'm gonna suck up to her" from his part or the whole deal may fall flat down the line.

Norman is right. Emma is adorable and sweet, who wouldn't do literally anything for her? You really can't blame him.

>>158715954

But Kaoru and Kenshin have had a few hundred chapters to establish that bond. Norman and Emma have not. This manga is still in its infancy and it'll be interesting to see how everything progresses. Both plot wise and in terms of relationships. Maybe by chapter 120 you'll be able to say the same thing about them.

>>158716132
I suppose this is true. I was complaining too but a little over forty chapters isn't much to go on, especially when Norman has been missing for like ten of them. Here's hoping.

>>158716132
>But Kaoru and Kenshin have had a few hundred chapters to establish that bond. Norman and Emma have not.
And that's for me one of the big flaws in the story. How can I believe in their bond if this bond is not developed? Again, it becomes only plot device. And now Norman is "dead," but they don't show that they miss him. It did not have to be all the time, just a "I wish Norman was here", "I miss Norman", "Norman was good at this". You know? Smalls things. But that doesn't happen.
>This manga is still in its infancy and it'll be interesting to see how everything progresses. Both plot wise and in terms of relationships. Maybe by chapter 120 you'll be able to say the same thing about them.
I hope so, because the manga has a lot of potential.

>>158716455
One of the things that upset me was the timeskip after he was shipped. It skipped the entire grieving process. We saw Emma desperate and miserable on a bed for one chapter and that was all they showed us. We could've used some more chapters like that before the escape.

> How can I believe in their bond if this bond is not developed?

I feel like you're just not using your critical thinking skills here. The manga is up to, what? 40 chapters? Thats not much at all. And as you say, Norman has been absent for a while now. But they grew up together, they live together, they eat, sleep and play together. The bond is there, its just not as pronounced as it could be another 40 chapters from now. Just because you didn't personally see the relationship developing doesn't mean that its not there. Thats the problem with preexisting relationships in a story, they leave many questions hanging in the air, but that doesn't mean they wont be addressed at some point in the future.

Also this isn't directed specifically at you, but I'm getting really tired of this 'they don't even miss Norman' meme. Its ridiculous. At what point have they had a chance to sit and even comprehend whats happened in the last few hours? They just escaped from a human farm, why would they take the time to mourn someone whose supposedly been dead two months already? They did their mourning at Grace Field. Now they're trying to survive.

>>158716763
>good

>>158716814
There's decent art pieces here and there.

>>158716855
Nothing that made my peepee feel funny.

>>158716800
This has nothing to do with whether the characterization is good or not but this
>they live together, they eat, sleep and play together
made me question, why does Norman see the other kids as his siblings but he can single out Emma in a romantic sense? Shouldn't the other kids be his "friends" then?

>>158716905
Oh, that's what you're looking for. The only anon hunting for art has said before that there's like zero lewd fanart of anyone, not even Mama. You're out of luck.

>>158716559
The whole series could benefit from having a few more moments to let the despair and hopelesness build up before they get resolved.

>>158716987
>zero lewd fanart of anyone, not even Mama.

Since I'm mostly focusing on sex from his pov, I've managed to skirt mentions of the actual proportions of his dick, though I had to resist the urge to give him a 13-inch shota dick.

>>158718027
Since mamas don't get impregnated by having sex does this mean Mama's first was her own son?
