The Promised Neverland

Chapter 5 is out with Nigga Mama!

mangastream.com/r/neverland/005/3656/1

What a misleading chapter title

I feel clickbaited

How in fuck's name are they going to escape on their own now?

They just keep running into even more walls

>BLAH-BLAH-BLAH-BLAH-BLAH-BLAH
normal children would make this manga much more interesting

Normal children wouldn't be able to escape.

Niggerstream threataning us with their nonexistant QC

that's what's cool. normal children means more stakes, risks, suspense, drama. now, even if they escape, I don't care, because they're just strategy robots.

i think the nigger mama is actually a demon in disguise, if so it gives us insight on how they took over the human world. Also it could mean that normal human society still exist and the demons are hiding amongst them by disguising themselves as human.

Manga with elementary schooler protagonists usually get axed, right?

by normal do you mean cookie-cutter shounen manga stereotypes? Cause that sounds awful

Also its obvious to me the mother was grooming them on purpose, like she wants them to escape and outsmart her

Naruto was 12.

I'm really enjoying this series.

oh shit, 12 is middle school, right?

Sorry, this artist draws them really young, so I got confused.

I disagree, I always find emotional people cringeworthy at best or an excuse to stir up fake drama at worst.

That's a big mama.

No, I mean ordinary people, without a convenient IQ and the coldness of a detective.

For you

They would have been caught and sent to the slaughter by this point

It's possible some will be involved, because of FemMC's stubborness. I'd prefer not, thought, because that'd mean a more unrealistic plan.

>coldness
>Emma has the shonen MC syndrome
>Norman is borderline retarded because "muh love"
>Ray had a total of five pages
I'll give you Ray, since he didn't really do much till now, but the rest is hardly cold

But I'm not saying that needs to be overdramatic. But a bit of "heart" would be good to give humanity to those children.

You could see them crying over Mama being a enemy during the first 3 chapters

I think that's enough crying otherwise it would get annoying

I don't think they will all escpe; blond guy will remain behind, presumed dead and come back as a villain after a timeskip.

of ocurse if this series doesn't get canned

If you are a good writer, you finds a way.
In the last four chapters, 99% were they drawing plans, 1% was comic relief with the girl. When she thought about Mama in chapter 5 I thought "finally something more intimate", but no, it was, again, aiming the investigation.

After all, Neverland is more plot driven than character driven. In a weekly shonen magazine, this is not a good thing.

>better to assume they're closer to the equator because 4 seasons
You can't be serious.

This was told quickly through narration. The emotional connection is minimal.

You see, it is not necessary them to be crying all the time. That's not the point. But they act more humanely. The narrative is too didactic.

If you were a good writer, you would have realize little children can't win without pure author fiat, so the story wouldn't even be written in the first place.

It's way easier to write normal people, user. He had to make them geniuses because the story needed it.

Good writers like challenges. Only one character being a genius would be enough. But three? C'mon. My favorite chapter was the first precisely because they were still more naive.

Normal kids would have been found out by now.

Its a psychological thriller. Its way more fun when both sides of the war can fight.

>why are they all so smart, I can't relate, this is unbelievable
vs
>why are they so dumb? I can't believe they could beat their smarter opponents
lose-lose

I like the child geniuses approach. It's not like it's unheard of in reality, and the setting supports it pretty well -- the farms are specifically made for gifted children to grow. So why wouldn't the three who have nearly survived to complete brain maturity (I think this is erroneous but let's roll with it) be able to think their way out of these situations? They aren't inhuman either like some are suggesting, except Ray who hasn't had much panel time yet.

So we would have some gary stu brainstorming everything?

Is better like this since they are helping each other out where the other lacks

Plot Twist: His hands were shaking of excitement because he is a sadist.

It will become Darker Gash Bell. The fact Elites need their brains makes me think that kids are a source of energy to keep them stronger than the rest of the demons.

maybe some "imagination" related bullshit that allows demons to have all sorts of wacky shonen battle manga powers. they will end up befriending a demon that finds out that alive children grant them way more power than dead ones.

> raise genius children because their brains are tastiest
> nigger mama allowed to live to adulthood

bravo, Jump

The problem is the story to be focusing only on the "fight". For now, they are more tools than people. Then (at least for me) it's hard to care about characters who act in such a technical way.

>Kids are rational actors so story is shit.

Ok.

Last page suggest that nigga mom is actually a demon in desigue

we was demons and shit

>That black woman's face

You've gotta be kidding me. And i thought this couldn't get any creepier.

this is a distinct lack of melanin in the kids being raised for brain food thus far

>Kids are too rational actors so story is average.
ftfy

Why are you bitching about the main kids not acting like normie kids? They are different, they are geniuses.

Kids are appropriately rational given the story's insight into their development.

ftfy

is the red head a trap or a girl So we getting Dgrayman levels of everything dark-skinned is evil.

demon: hmm, what should we do to make our food taste better?
demon: I know! we need diversity!

and so mama is replaced by refugee of peace.

WE

the demons want the fried chicken or watermelon flavor

Just because it is justified, does not make it good. In a narrative point of view, this makes the story very pragmatic, like the other user said.

>is the red head a trap or a girl

the aryan übermensch wants to stick his autistic dick in it either way

Mama's already pretty jacked, but Mrs. Harambe here looks like she could tear the head off an elephant.

Why the Tomboy is not girly and will cuck him for a demon.

this desu

the fuck is this?

She is a demon.

This creates a plot hole as to why keep adults alive when you can pretend to be humans.

it's probably stressful and tiring for demon to use their power for disguise.

The fact they can do that gives them the element of suprise even further. Unless every one dies or they escape the farm with asspull powers this is going nowhere.

I'm guessing that they lack the human factor for them to act like a mother or they can't control themselves by being close to humans for a long period of time

the only asspull you'll get is that the children has the same IQ of donald trump and they are gonna solve their way out with their brain.

yeah, that's why they disguised themselves as black people

Smart kids outsmarting world destroying demons? Without super powers I expect death and gore.

If joseph joestar can do it, these kids can.

SHIIIIEEEETT CAPPINdeus ex

MC already declared she wants power...

>that fucking face

MC she I don't think so unless you want her demon raped post time skip.

So, she is like your usual shonen lead only female, right?

...Fuck.

mod butthurt

SHIEEEEEEEET DIS SHIET BE RAYCIS NIGGA

WE WUZ KANGS AN SHIET NIGGA

They pay them by letting them live. Cheaper than giving fellow demons jobs when they probably can't hold back an urge for some tasty brains. Plus the motivation to live pushes them to play the role further.

I love this series. Very interesting.

Too bad Ray that Norman is into crazy.

so in this world high Iq beta males get to breed 10 fertile females doctor strange love style?

I don't like Ray. He is annoying.

Please don't let this turn into a battle manga, please don't let this turn into a battle manga, please don't let this turn into a battle manga

I think it will. This will be just like Tenkuu Shinpan where only the start is survival horror until the MC gains powerup to fight the demons for real.

I have absolutely never been more bored by a series.

I really hope it doesn't, but I know it probably will. I'm thinking it'll probably just eventually turn into that in order to avoid being axed, then ultimately get axed a few weeks later.

My main issue is that the story's setting is perfect for a rushed, early ending, like "wow, we made it! Time to see what's out there... - fin".

Probably.

I want to see this but problem is with kids as the main theme I doubt the dark reality will come to play.

I can already see it. The humans on the outside will have some superpowers to fight the demons and they will teach it to the MCs.

If that really does happen, I hope they age the cast up a bit. Uuuugh. Maybe I'll just reread Drifting Classroom, instead.

Do you REALLY prefer the stories where only one character is intelligent and the others are just bumbling and listening to whatever they say?

You really can't be calling out plotholes FOUR CHAPTERS INTO THE MANGA

I don't think she is demon. Just another human. The demon in the background is just for effect, the looming danger she presents.

I hope Norman doesn't die.

I agree completely.

Way to take the piss out of it we need stakes another human is weak sauce.

He's 100% gonna die.

You mean the manga that ends in 1 page after finding the body would be interesting?

Well, fuck.

Underrated post
Top kekekles

They can't even get around Mama.

>this chapter

>nothing gets done
>just more problems and ideas how to escape keep piling up
lmao
i'll predict this will be cancelled in 16 more chapters
it'll end with a magical ass pull they subdue mama and escaped and mama got eaten
or suddenly an army infiltrated the orphanage and saved them doing nothing of their "plans"

How long does it take for the run of the mill WSJ publication to get canceled?

How the FUCK are they going to get around this shit? i mean if they get some free time somehow they can finally see what's beyond the wall and shit but what if the whole farm is high up and beyond the walls is just a huge fall all around and the only way to get out is through the gate that has a narrow slope going up towards the mountain like farm? if the farm isnt on top of a huge place like that then it could only be out in the open and forest is just beyond the wall but that shit would mean that all they need to do is get rid of the trackers and run for it and that would be just too easy of an objective. this is so fucking confusing.
