The Promised Neverland, Vol. 1 by Kaiu Shirai
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
This was such a great surprise for me. It was recommended to me by a coworker who warned me it was a dark story. When I saw the cover I thought she was joking. But she was right. Delightfully dark and twisted, the contrast of the plot with the cuteness of the characters really works to give it an extra layer of creepiness. Just ordered a box set. Great series!
*I ordered the first one as an e-book which made it hard for me to read it as the print was pretty small for these old eyes and I had to constantly blow it up. Paperbacks for the rest of the series for me*
