Fans of The Promised Neverland have a brand-new epilogue to look forward to. Shueisha’s Weekly Shonen Jump magazine has announced in its combined 37th and 38th issue that creators Kaiu Shirai and Posuka Demizu are returning with a 36-page bonus one-shot chapter.
Titled "War vs. Peace," the special story is set chronologically after the events of the main manga series and is scheduled to be published in the magazine’s next issue on August 24.
This special release is part of a broader wave of celebrations for the franchise’s 10th anniversary. To mark the milestone, Shueisha has lined up several special projects, including a brand-new stage musical adaptation set to debut in Tokyo this winter. Other anniversary highlights feature a full-color digital release of the manga, traveling pop-up stores across various Japanese cities, and an exclusive online lottery event.
