The Promised Neverland Chapter 179 has finally introduced the human world. However, Emma appears to be isolated from the other kids.
Series Overview
The Promised Neverland centers on Emma, an 11-year old girl living in Grace Field House together with 37 other orphans. However, everything changed after Emma discovered the truth of their existence in this idyllic orphanage.
Apparently, they were just humanely raised to be butchered and sold eventually as meat to demons. With this at hand, Emma devised a plan to escape together with her best friends. Furthermore, she promised the children to rescue them.
Chapter 179 teases the human world
After a long journey, the latest chapter of The Promised Neverland’s manga officially introduced the human world. At this moment, Emma and the kids were already freed from the farm, where they were raised to be eaten by demons. Consequently, the children from Grace Field House woke up on a mysterious beach.
Unsurprisingly, the human world is certainly free of demons. However, the kids were shocked by Emma’s nonexistence. She has seemingly woken up in a much different location than the rest of them. Moreover, it is uncertain whether she made it to the human world or not.
Along with this ambiguity, it was revealed that the human world is different from what Emma and the kids expected. Instead of finding themselves in the year 2015, the kids ended up in 2047. This period was after natural disasters, epidemics, food shortages, and a full war ravaged the world.
Is this really how the world will go?
