The Promised Neverland, Vol. 1
Kaiu Shirai
Life at Grace Field House has been good for Emma and her fellow orphans. While the daily studying and exams they have to take are tough, their loving caretaker provides them with delicious foods and plenty of playtime. But perhaps not everything is as it seems… Emma, Norman and Ray are the brightest kids at the Grace Field House orphanage. And under the care of the woman they refer to as “Mom,” all the kids have enjoyed a comfortable life. Good food, clean clothes and the perfect environment to learn—what more could an orphan ask for? One day, though, Emma and Norman uncover the dark truth of the outside world they are forbidden from seeing.

Kaiu Shirai's The Promised Neverland is a twisted fantasy manga. Readers follow Emma, Ray, and Norman (per VIZ translations to English) as they live in Grace Field House. Emma and Norman learn their orphanage is actually a farm in which humans are raised as food for demons. Their goal becomes escape.
This was definitely an interesting manga. I enjoyed the story and art style, and felt there was a good start to the series. I'm not overly attached to the characters just yet, but would be interested in continuing with the next volume.
