The Promised Neverland Celebrates Its 10th Anniversary with a New Manga Chapter and Major Projects
We have great news for The Promised Neverland fans! The world-famous series, written by Kaiu Shirai and illustrated by Posuka Demizu, is returning in the summer of 2026 with a special one-shot manga chapter to celebrate its 10th anniversary. This new chapter, which will be published in Weekly Shonen Jump magazine, has been announced as just the first step in a series of major projects prepared to honor the legacy of the series.
First meeting readers on August 1, 2016, The Promised Neverland quickly became a modern classic. The story, which began with Emma, Norman, and Ray discovering the dark secrets of the Grace Field House orphanage, concluded its main adventure in 2020 with its 181st chapter. Selling over 42 million copies worldwide, the series left a deep mark on the manga world with its suspenseful atmosphere and cleverly crafted escape plans. Now, this legendary team is coming together again to celebrate their tenth year.
This new one-shot chapter will not only reminisce about the old days but will also be a harbinger of "major projects" that will expand the series' universe. Although the details have not been fully disclosed yet, expectations such as a new anime project, a special art exhibition, or collector's editions have already begun to form among fans. Since 2026 marks exactly 10 years since the start of the series, it seems that it will be a very active year full of surprises for The Promised Neverland community.
It is truly exciting to see Posuka Demizu's unique, detailed art style and Kaiu Shirai's immersive storytelling together again. Whether this special chapter to be published in the summer will focus on the time before or after the main story remains a mystery. However, one thing is certain: the story of the Grace Field children is not completely over yet. We will continue to keep you informed as official announcements regarding the new projects arrive!
