Yakusoku no Neverland review

I'm well into the story as to where it stands right now I'm currently on chapter 43.

The story is really unique despite "I know what mangas ya'll are about to relate this to". It's really nothing like that at its core it just has the similarity of...walls and survival. There are lots of really unique twists and turns in the story that had me making ugly noises when I read them.

The art I find unique in the sense that it seems to draw some inspiration from western art. It's a good representation of how style mash-ups should look.

The writing and pacing is beautiful. I never feel dragged along with the story and I really like the character development. Death and loss is handled very well in this and you end up liking characters that are supposed to be hated, this is a good sign they're written well.

I also really enjoy that the mangaka does little side comic strips at then ends of chapters sometimes.



Relating it to other Manga:

This gives me vibes of Claymore, Berserk, and SNK but it has deeper values on friendship and human life per-say (as is more similar to Claymore than any of the others)

The unity of the group reminds me a lot of claymore and how you don't have to be the "strongest" or "best" in the group to make a big impacted difference. And how "together we are stronger" which is a big theme in both stories. It also has a lot of similar story elements that are spoilers so I'll ignore them.

The Berserk one I think is self-explanatory...

Honestly I think comparing it to SNK is insulting to this manga because it's what SNK should have been in terms of pacing, development, arcs etc. They just both happen to have walls.
