Major Shonen Jump Series to Return With Surprise Revival This Summer (First Look Revealed)

by

A popular series from Shonen Jump is making a comeback this summer to celebrate its 10th anniversary. It’s been an exciting time for fans of classic Shonen Jump titles, as many are returning with new stories, reboots, or sequels. With several long-running series reaching major anniversaries, we can expect even more surprises soon. The latest is The Promised Neverland, created by Kaiu Shirai and Posuka Demizu.

To celebrate its 10th anniversary since first appearing in Shueisha’s Weekly Shonen Jump magazine, The Promised Neverland is planning a series of special projects. A brand new spinoff story will be released in the magazine this summer, giving fans a first look at what’s in store for the series’ return.

The Promised Neverland to Return With New Revival Chapter

A new chapter of The Promised Neverland is in the works, with original creators Kaiu Shirai and Posuka Demizu collaborating on it, though few details are known beyond its anticipated release this summer. Shueisha has described it as a “special spin-off story,” leaving it uncertain whether it will continue the main plot or explore a new direction. A sneak peek at the draft suggests a possible return for Gilda, hinting at what this spin-off might be about.

To celebrate the 10th anniversary of The Promised Neverland, five different events are planned. In addition to a new spinoff chapter, a stage musical is in development with auditions for child actors currently happening in Japan. Fans in Japan will also enjoy full-color manga releases, pop-up shops, and an online lottery. Unfortunately, fans outside of Japan will likely only have access to the new chapter.

What Happened With The Promised Neverland?

While The Promised Neverland initially did well in Shonen Jump, its reputation has been seriously damaged. The anime adaptation, particularly the second season, was very poor. The first season followed the manga closely and was decent, but the second season rushed through the rest of the story, resulting in a disappointing ending and ultimately harming the overall perception of the series.

Even now, I still struggle to understand the reasoning behind that original choice. The manga’s ending was actually really well-received, but so many fans only know the anime’s version, which is a real shame. It’s frustrating because The Promised Neverland was such a phenomenon when it first came out, and I’m really hoping this reboot can recapture some of that magic and remind everyone just how great it can be.
