Life is peaceful for Emma, Norman and Ray, three children of a special orphanage directed by Isabella, a sweet woman they all call "Mom". In this house surrounded by a large playground and a forest, children of all origins are raised with love and care, the only constraints being the regular tests of knowledge that establish a ranking by score, and the forbidding to go near the main gate or beyond the forest. Every child is eventually sent away to a foster family, sooner or later, but always before their thirteenth birthday.
Being 12 and the top-ranked children of the orphanage, our protagonists know they will be the next to leave after the little Conny. But while they thought they would see her off, they witness something they shouldn't have and discover with horror what kind of "foster family" the children are sent to...

!Tropes found in ''The Promised Neverland''.
* ChildProdigy: Emma, Norman and Ray are all exceptionally gifted and intelligent. Emma is a bit behind but is noted for her great learning ability.
* TheHeart: Emma is the emotional element of the trio, notably demanding that they help ''all'' the children escape, not just themselves. Norman and Ray, while not completely insensitive, appear more coldly rational.
* OntologicalMystery: The children know they are in the year 2045, and that human books were published as late as 2015, but they have no idea what happened to humanity in this 30 year gap, let alone what awaits them outside of the orphanage.
* PrimAndProperBun: Isabella holds her hair this way with a net, giving her a traditional, slightly strict motherly vibe.
* ToServeMan: The orphanage is literally a farm where tasty humans are raised to be eaten. The main question raised up is: why would the demons give education to their cattle?
* TheStarscream: Sister Krone was brought in to assist Isabella and help her keep an eye on the elder children until they are due to be "delivered". Krone, however, has higher ambitions than just kindly obeying and is only looking for a chance to take Isabella's place.
* StepfordSmiler: Isabella is certainly very good at pretending she's a king and loving mother. Once we learn what she's really doing, her smiles becomes quite a bit more scary.
* TheUnpronounceable: The name of the "god" the demons worship is written in an alien, unreadeable script.
* TheWatson: Emma plays this role ([[Creator/EmmaWatson no pun intended]]), ususally being the one to ask questions and have things explained to her.
Started in August 2016, ''Yakusoku no Neverland'' (''The Promised Neverland'') is a Shônen Jump series written by Shirai Kaiu and Demizu Posuka, mixing an OntologicalMystery with an intellectual battle and a tinge of horror.

* ChildProdigy: Emma, Norman and Ray are all exceptionally gifted and intelligent. Emma is a bit behind but is noted for her great learning ability.
* TheHeart: Emma is the emotional element of the trio, notably demanding that they help ''all'' the children escape, not just themselves. Norman and Ray, while not completely insensitive, appear more coldly rational.
