Weekly Shonen Jump has been facing some criticism lately due to several series concluding. While the magazine is known for launching popular anime and manga, not every story can continue indefinitely. Some series were cancelled because of low readership, while others, like Chainsaw Man, finished their stories intentionally. Recently, a manga that ended several years ago hinted at a major new development to celebrate its tenth anniversary. Despite some controversy, this series built a dedicated fanbase during its original run.
Originally appearing in Weekly Shonen Jump in 2016, The Promised Neverland offered a very different story than popular series like One Piece and Dragon Ball. Created by Kaiu Shirai and Posuka Demizu, it centered on an orphanage in a world filled with monsters, where humans were raised as food for demonic creatures. The anime’s first season quickly gained a large audience. Despite a controversial second season, the franchise is now gearing up to celebrate its tenth anniversary. A new project will be revealed in issue #19 of Weekly Shonen Jump, though details are currently unknown.
What Made The Promised Neverland Die?
While the initial manga wasn’t perfect, its strong story and well-developed characters made The Promised Neverland a significant hit in the shonen genre. However, the anime adaptation’s second season was met with criticism due to problems with the animation and a rushed ending that tried to finish the story of Grace Field House too quickly. The series continues to receive a mixed response from anime fans, but the creators are still planning future projects to explore the world and characters.
I remember when The Promised Neverland got a live-action movie in Japan back in 2020. Amazon also announced they were working on their own live-action series, but we haven’t heard anything about that show in a long time. With the tenth anniversary coming up, I’m wondering if we might finally get an update. A lot of people think the series was quietly dropped, but Amazon never actually canceled it, so there’s still a small chance it could happen.
It’s unclear if the upcoming announcement is for a sequel series, but it would be a challenge. The Promised Neverland had a definitive ending, so any continuation would need to explore completely new storylines. A reboot to address issues with the second season is also a possibility. We’ll have more details when the announcement is made next week in Weekly Shonen Jump.
