I have not read this manga but your passion and joy of telling about this series had me hooked to find out what was going to happen next. YOU ARE AMAZING
This is exactly what I needed after being on a long hiatus on reading this manga. This is a million times better than trying to read a summary of each volume online. Thanks for the amazing manga content!
The way you told the story was pure gold !!! Even if I didnt understand everything- due to my fault not you, absolutely not you - I enjoyed it sooooo muuuuuuchh Thank you for everything ! And really cool editing !
im not a big manga girly but the way you described what was happening had me literally wanting to know more!! you should defs do this for more manga series!!
Thank you soooo much!! I really wanted to know what happened in this series, but knew I wouldn't be able to handle some of the content. You had me on the edge of my seat! I was laughing and crying along with you. Such a great job retelling this story, Katie!!! I'd love to see more videos like this if you're up for it! 💛
💛💛💛 There were other videos generally bashing the inconsistency and rushedness of the later chapters but you made me remember why i enjoyed crying to this story
💛💛 That was such an emotional rollercoaster! Thank you for making this because my heart couldn't take reading the series after even the first volume but I wanted to know what happened. Your explanations are my absolute favorite.
Amazing Katie! I am only up to volume 5, so I won’t watch beyond then until I’ve caught up, but I’m loving your summary and your reaction to what’s happened so far, and now I’m excited to pick the series back up so I can watch the rest! Please keep making manga content, and if you do this for another series then we are totally here for it 🙌
💛💛💛After watching your video I decided to go ahead and buy the box set when it comes out. I watched the anime and it was good but I didn’t see myself owning the manga. Your review of the series has convinced me, thank you for making this video.
to tell you i cried again! rarely a serialized story gets this good, i mean it all started so high up there and you wondered HOW THE FFFFF they are going to make this better, and they did, manga normally is diveded in arcs and its hard to 1) push the story forward 2) introduce new goals and threats and 3) in doing 1 and 2 raising the stakes higher and higher but OH MY GOD they did it and did it right with this one plus good characters with their own arcs and evolution playing with the ambiguity of good and evil?! Fullmetal alchemist is the only one apart from this that i can say do it right... i finished the promised neverland in early febreary and was waiting for your thoughts cause you were the one who introduced me to this series that i end up loving with my whole heart... love you katie and thank you so much for the recommendation ❤
I'm so glad you enjoyed this series. I found it because of you and binged the whole thing last September. It was great to revisit it with you in this video. 💛
I enjoy seeing all the manga content. I can contribute my rediscovery of graphic novels and manga to your videos and it honestly has changed my reading life. So thank you 💛
💛💛💛💛💛 LOVE THISSSS i came here because I just finished the anime but seemed incomplete somehow and when I investigated I found out it actually skipped like A LOOOT of chapters. So so grateful for your recap! you are great and I was so invested! Please do moreeee. Sending you love
💛 Just finished watching the anime and was disappointed by the ending. thank you for all the work it took for you to be able to give the story to us. You're our Emma 💛
Kaite, it's so great hearing you stand up for yourself! Keep reading what you want. Reading manga as an adult is nothing to be ashmed of and people are just mean when they shit on manga/comics. I think those people also have a weird superiority complex when it comes to manga/comics. I'm 29 and I read manga. (I'm reading Beserk right now). I've been reading manga on and off since I was 12 years old 😂. I definitely don't read it has much as I used to but manga is a comfort media for me and also helps me with reading burnout. Great video!
Thanks for the summary 💛 I was offered the first three books without asking for them, and I didn't really plan to read the rest, so your video was a blessing for my curiosity.
💛 thanks so so much for this recap! Your genuine excitement for this story is lovely to watch 😊 I watched the first season of the anime and was dissuaded from reading the manga and watching the 2nd season because of people online saying the story went to crap after Goldy Pond. I Hearing your perspective though has inspired me to give the manga a try! 💛
Thank you for watching and all your kind words. That means a lot to me. Especially because I find such little content on it to begin with. Which is sad honestly.
💛💛💛💛 I finally finished reading the series and was able to watch this video in its entirety 😭☺️ I love seeing all your manga content! I don't know that I would have picked this series back up without the nudge and it was definitely worth it
I'm so glad this fandom is not dead! This manga was absolutely having me on the edge...! You made it so much better, thank you! Whos your favourite character?
💛💛💛💛 Amazing video. I just finished reading the series today because I’m a gigantic anime and manga fan and I’ve been reading it for the last two months and I recently finished getting the volumes and reading it. I really loved it. Really, really, really great series that I loved and you did an amazing job with this video.
💛💛💛 Loved this, love Booktubers recapping manga so it doesn't devolve into endless comparisons or "this entire second act is just the Chimera Ant art from hunter x hunter"
I started reading manga because my kids read manga and I try to consume what they consume. But my ability for information retention is trash. Thank you so much for this genius video. You saved me so much time rereading.
💛 this is a series i always want to pick up, but i'm not sure i can emotionally handle actually reading through it, so I appreciate this summary. Maybe someday I'll just accept that it's gonna wreck me and go for it.
💛 Liebe Katie, Dankeschön für deine Review / Vorstellung des Manga The Promised Neverland. Ich habe den ersten Band zur Hand genommen und ahnte schon, dass die Story komplex wird. Aber dass sie so aufregend wird, habe ich nicht mit gerechnet!! Vielen Dank für deine Mühe, alles zu lesen und es uns umfassend zu erzählen.❤ Danke!!
I got lucky and in my first manga haul I picked up (Fruits Basket Vol 1 and) The Promised Neverland Vol 1. I am obsessed with TPN and am going to do a re-read this year. Always a yes to more manga content btw 😊
💛💛💛💛💛 I've been meaning to reread the manga but never have the time read it. And we don't talk about the anime s2. So thank you for letting me relive the excitement of the series without spending the time I don't have to reread it
Thank you, I came here after watching the anime. I enjoyed it, but even so the second season felt lacking on the story front so glad I got to hear the actual story.
This was so much fun, to go through the Promised Neverland experience with you volume to volume. It holds nostalgic significance for me because it was the first series I've ever read and collected. It sent me down the path of reading/collecting manga, something that I never experienced growing up, unlike most other collectors I know... Which leads me into my next point....which is to say, good on you for hand waving away your detractors who think pretentiously sh*tting on people over their enjoyment of manga somehow does anything other than make themselves out to be a$$holes. Like I previously mentioned, I just started getting into this medium of entertainment only a few years prior and I'm an adult in my late thirties. There's plenty of us older folk who enjoy it and that's due to us not restricting our mindset to exclude something just for appearances sake...and we're happier for it in the long run😁. But anyways, I just felt the need to mention that. And if you're interested in getting into other completed series so that you can record another similar vlog such as this one, I figured that maybe I could recommend some series you may find interesting and which I thoroughly enjoyed... 1)Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind (Action, Adventure, Fantasy, Sci-Fi) 2)Claymore (Action , Adventure, Fantasy, Horror) 3) The Girl From The Other Side (Drama, Supernatural) Hopefully, whether or not you're interested in these recommendations, I do hope you decide to do this style of vlogging an entire series again, because watching someone's fresh experience as they go through each volume is like reliving the experience again for your viewers who've read and enjoyed it before.
💛💛💛💛💛💛 I love this vlog!!! Never read this series but I cried a little bit here and there through your storytelling. And I hope you continue to make manga content!! xoxo
I love this video Katie! Appreciate all the work you put into this; I was super interested in The Promised Neverland after hearing you recommend it, but was too scared to pick it up haha. You did an amazing job walking through each volume, and I love how you included parts of the manga in the video 💛💛💛💛💛💛💛
💛 listen I'm not a huge fan of manga but I am a huge fan of Katie so whatever you want to post whether that's manga content or other thing I will watch it
I love this manga and you explained this with your heart perfectly. Thank you for this moment and you made me take a time to read again and again this mangas. This manga is on my top five.
💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛 I just finished season 2 and was scouring for some real answers. I waited to watch it after hearing how awful it was in respects to the manga and you did a great job of filling that gap, thank you!
woww. I have been wanting to know what was there in the manga and I finally do. They didn't show a lot of things in promised Neverland anime which is disappointing. But anyway, thank you for uploading this. ❤❤
Thank you so much for this video you explained everything super understandable I just finished the anime and in season 2 i was thinking thats not what the story is supposed to be now i can understand why this manga is so amazing i will start reading it right away
Im glad you enjoyed this! i finished it no so long ago and i loved it. Also it would be fun to do this long form videos for manga series! I watch long form videos while i work
You seem to be the only youtuber out there who actually really loves the ending like i do - thank you for this video! i cried at SPOILER isabellas death, it was perfect in my opinion, the perfect sacrifice and ray crying got me for me the final Saga and arcs were the best, not goldy Pond, which is also great, but to me the endgame was the best, even if everybody sees it differently, it had so much suspense and emotions! i also recommend the short stories manga by the authors
Loved the video, Katie!! I don’t know if I’m going to pick this one up any time, but I watched the whole video. Chances are I’ll read it years from now and won’t remember being spoiled. Manga is awesome! Thanks for sharing your love for it with us🐰💖
I'm so excited to watch this video, love these manga contents so much! I have the first three volume on my tbr, after I've read them I'm definitely starting this video. 😍💚
It’s been years since I’ve read this series so I’m so glad I have this video now! It’s one of my favorites and I don’t own the entire series so I haven’t been able to reread it
FRIENDS, if you get a comment from someone claiming to be Katie and talking about a giveaway, IT IS NOT HER. Report the scammer and enjoy the video!
They are making their rounds on a bunch of booktube channels I’ve had to report them for 3 channels so far
Thank you! I can’t get it to stop 😡
I got one earlier but I didn’t know if it would report Katie so I didn’t but the comment is gone now so
Just received a message that I was selected. I don't know how to report the scammer but I blocked the user
I reported one in another video. Thank you anyway ❤️
I have not read this manga but your passion and joy of telling about this series had me hooked to find out what was going to happen next. YOU ARE AMAZING
Aw thank you, mom! Love you
This is exactly what I needed after being on a long hiatus on reading this manga. This is a million times better than trying to read a summary of each volume online. Thanks for the amazing manga content!
I LOVE THIS MANGA SO MUCH. they skipped a lot in the anime but the whole plot is so beautiful. 💛
Katie you don’t know how happy I get every single time you upload, never stop 💕
The way you told the story was pure gold !!! Even if I didnt understand everything- due to my fault not you, absolutely not you - I enjoyed it sooooo muuuuuuchh
Thank you for everything ! And really cool editing !
Oh thank you so much. I appreciate that
Never have i seen a story start out this incredible before, before slowly spiraling down and eventually crashing at the finish line this hard
I had no intentions of reading this manga so this recap summary was great! Hope you do this for other series too! 💛
im not a big manga girly but the way you described what was happening had me literally wanting to know more!! you should defs do this for more manga series!!
Thank you soooo much!! I really wanted to know what happened in this series, but knew I wouldn't be able to handle some of the content. You had me on the edge of my seat! I was laughing and crying along with you. Such a great job retelling this story, Katie!!! I'd love to see more videos like this if you're up for it! 💛
I don’t read manga but I very much enjoyed this video it felt like story time and I loved hearing your reactions 💛
Ngl- it’s not worth the mental state the stupid writing gives you by the end of it.
Did not see 'reads manga' as part of my character arch but here I go!! 💜
💛💛💛 There were other videos generally bashing the inconsistency and rushedness of the later chapters but you made me remember why i enjoyed crying to this story
💛💛 That was such an emotional rollercoaster! Thank you for making this because my heart couldn't take reading the series after even the first volume but I wanted to know what happened. Your explanations are my absolute favorite.
💛💛💛 umm an HOUR of Katie?? Yes please!! I have no plans to read the promised neverland but I loved watching you gush about it😆
Amazing Katie!

I JUST read this entire series because of you in January and I am SO HERE for this video 💛
💛 I don’t read as much as I used to and I never got into manga’s but I love hearing about them when you read them.
to tell you i cried again! rarely a serialized story gets this good, i mean it all started so high up there and you wondered HOW THE FFFFF they are going to make this better, and they did, manga normally is diveded in arcs and its hard to 1) push the story forward 2) introduce new goals and threats and 3) in doing 1 and 2 raising the stakes higher and higher but OH MY GOD they did it and did it right with this one plus good characters with their own arcs and evolution playing with the ambiguity of good and evil?!

No SERIOUSLY! You’re spot on. I think they did a phenomenal job
This was absolutely wonderful. I'd like you todo this with other series. Made in Abyss probably would beup your alley
this video is the best thing I have ever seen in my life hands down
omg wait what???! for real? this comment broke my brain in every way
I don’t have the drive to read the manga, thank you for making this video and giving an amazing synopsis that makes me feel like I did read it 💛

You did such an amazing job summarizing everything! I love this manga so much💛 & I will continue to watch all your manga content💛

Katie, we have a problem, you and I. This is the only manga series review I see. I need more.
Right?! That’s what I was thinking. It’s disgraceful, ha
I'm so excited for your reading vlog. I love manga. 🐇💖💛💛
This was great Katie! I needed a recap so bad and this helped me out tremendously. Loved it!
💛💛💛 Loved this, love Booktubers recapping manga so it doesn't devolve into endless comparisons or "this entire second act is just the Chimera Ant art from hunter x hunter"

💛 yes please more manga content
I love this video Katie! Appreciate all the work you put into this; I was super interested in The Promised Neverland after hearing you recommend it, but was too scared to pick it up haha.

i like the promisd neverland so much 💛
Well you definitely sold me on this manga!!! I went through so many emotions just watching your reaction…love it!💛💛💛💛
💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛
I just finished season 2 and was scouring for some real answers. I waited to watch it after hearing how awful it was in respects to the manga and you did a great job of filling that gap, thank you!
I love this video you have made this series sound so exciting 💛💛
woww. I have been wanting to know what was there in the manga and I finally do. They didn't show a lot of things in promised Neverland anime which is disappointing. But anyway, thank you for uploading this. ❤❤
Thank you so much for this video you explained everything super understandable

Im glad you enjoyed this! i finished it no so long ago and i loved it. Also it would be fun to do this long form videos for manga series! I watch long form videos while i work
You seem to be the only youtuber out there who actually really loves the ending like i do - thank you for this video! i cried at SPOILER isabellas death, it was perfect in my opinion, the perfect sacrifice and ray crying got me
for me the final Saga and arcs were the best, not goldy Pond, which is also great, but to me the endgame was the best, even if everybody sees it differently, it had so much suspense and emotions! i also recommend the short stories manga by the authors
I don’t really care for manga but because I love your content, I’m watching anyways! 😊
Aw thank you, Rebecca. I appreciate it
Loved the video, Katie!! I don’t know if I’m going to pick this one up any time, but I watched the whole video. Chances are I’ll read it years from now and won’t remember being spoiled. Manga is awesome! Thanks for sharing your love for it with us🐰💖
Thank you for this ! You are Awesome! Keep your passion, keep your energy, & keep your enthusiasm, I loved this video🙏🏾 appreciate all your work
