The Promised Neverland, Vol. 7 by Kaiu Shirai, Posuka Demizu
4.0

A new character and many new mysteries. I didn’t expect we’d meet a grown-up survivor this soon after escaping the farm, though his demeanor is exactly what I’d expect: a gilt-ridden realist who’s tired of seeing people die. The bluffing and threats Emma and Ray played with Geezer were great. I’m glad The Promised Neverland hasn’t completely dropped the mind games from the first arc. Geezer looks like he’ll be a formidable match on their journey to Goldy Pond. The bunker feels like it’s seen more than a few groups of survivors pass through its halls so I’m looking forward to seeing what we learn about the Gracefield kids’ new home. The pace has slowed down a bit since the last volume, but has given a nice new status quo for the main cast and teased some new mysteries. Not my favorite volume of the series, but still a good one.
