Synopsis of Yakusoku no Neverland
At Grace Field House, life could not be better for the orphans. Together with the other children and a kind "mom" who cares for them, they form one big happy family. No child is ever overlooked, especially since they are all adopted at age 12. Their daily lives involve rigorous testing, but afterwards, they are allowed to play outside.
There is only one rule they must obey: they must not leave the orphanage. But one day, two high-scoring orphans, Emma and Norman, venture out the door and discover the horrible reality behind their entire existence: they are all cattle, and their orphanage is a farm to grow food for a mysterious race of demons. With little time to carry out an escape plan, the children must somehow change their destiny.
