A 36-Page Story Set After the Ending

Written by Kaiu Shirai and illustrated by Posuka Demizu — the original creative team — “War vs. Peace” is a 36-page standalone story set after the events of the main series. Details have been kept tightly under wraps ahead of publication, but the title alone promises exactly what readers have wanted since the ending: a glimpse at what peace actually looks like for Emma, Norman, Ray, and everyone who survived to find it.

The Promised Neverland ran in Weekly Shonen Jump from August 2016 to June 2020, spanning 20 volumes and becoming one of the most beloved manga of its generation — celebrated for its tense psychological thriller premise, intricate plotting, and the fierce bond between its three leads.
