23 posts | 25 read | 15 to read
The children of the Grace Field House orphanage have their happy lives upended when they find out theyre being raised to be fed to demons. Can they escape their fate before its too late? Life at Grace Field House has been good for Emma and her fellow orphans. While the daily studying and exams they have to take are tough, their loving caretaker provides them with delicious foods and plenty of playtime. But perhaps not everything is as it seems Emma, Norman and Ray are the brightest kids at the Grace Field House orphanage. And under the care of the woman they refer to as Mom, all the kids have enjoyed a comfortable life. Good food, clean clothes and the perfect environment to learnwhat more could an orphan ask for? One day, though, Emma and Norman uncover the dark truth of the outside world they are forbidden from seeing.

More manga, this time from the library. I'm doing a booktube 30 volumes of manga in 30 days challenge this month and using it to try different series.

I read Promised Neverland today, and it is dark.

Leniverse The Promised Neverland is great! A big favourite with 3/4 of my family (the 4th person being too young to read it). And the whole series is finished now, if you want to go wild. 😄 2y

This story is super weird and I‘m digging it. Kids against demons? Mysterious overlords? Dystopic world? I‘m into it. Definitely my speed with a fever today…

This was great, and much darker then it seems from the cover and the initial story. This manga is about an orphanage that seems ideal, but has a very dark secret. I look forward to continuing the series! 5⭐️

I think this volume is okay, but I wasn't in love with it--it seemed to lack on the horror aspect for me. The artwork and facial expressions felt off at certain points.

The first volume did remind me of the first volume of a series I've been reading. The 3 main characters plan logically, which makes does make the story feel different. Thank you again Ryan for sharing this volume with me @LibrarianRyan #manga #lmpbc

LibrarianRyan you are welcome. I am on Volume 16 and i have had a hard time finishing the last 3 volumes. There is only 20 and I am bound and determine to finish, but it has gotten a little crazy. 2y

Also I got a letter returned to me that I sent to you @Zuhkeeyah so I‘ll try again. Has your address changed?

LibrarianRyan Yeahhh 2y
Zuhkeeyah Hmmm that‘s weird. My address hasn‘t changed. 🤔 2y
Moonprismpower @Zuhkeeyah okay then I‘ll try again and I‘ll be extra clear with the address. 🤓 2y

4.5⭐This was a perfect freaky crazy WTF read. Based on the cover and the words Neverland I went in thinking it would be some type of Peter Pan retelling. In only the loosest way could it be considered that. Instead it‘s about a group of orphans who find out that there‘s more to the orphanage than child care. To say anymore gives away the story and I‘m not going to do that. You have to read this and go in as blind as possible because it is amazin

AllDebooks Loved the anime 2y
LibrarianRyan @AllDebooks I have not watched it yet. I hope to get to it while on vacation. 2y

I had no clue what I was getting into with this book, but I was surprised by how intriguing the concept was. The world felt rather unique, and kept me interested. I have to know what happens next. The story was a little darker than I had been expecting, I usually don't read things like that. However, I'm glad a gave this a chance. I don't know what will possibly happen with the rest of the books in the series, but I see a lot of potential so far.

I read this to see what the manga hype is all about. This is a clean one - no sexuality or graphic violence. Appropriate for young teens and older. Story of an orphanage that has sinister roots…

I picked this up because the art style looked cute. That continued to be the case and I was not disappointed! However, I didn't read what the #manga was about (I rarely read what a book is about anymore 😅). Turns out, it's part of my two least favorite genres: dystopian and horror! I didn't like it, but I can tell it's an excellent read. I have a friend who was excited to see that I'd picked it up, and I haven't told him I didn't like it yet...

I finished my first Manga book today. It was a little confusing at first because I wasn‘t sure what the correct order was to read the panels. I‘m sure I mixed it up but the story still made sense. 😂

This was a pretty interesting premise. Emma is an orphan who lives in an orphanage with a lot of kids. They learn and have fun. Emma learns a crazy secret and has to figure out what‘s going on!

Leniverse That series is so good! The Spouse, our Firstborn and I are up to vol. 9. We all love it. Which reminds me I need to check if vol 10 is out yet! 5y

With the anime about to debut I pulled this off the shelf to remind myself about the characters and then I realized I didn't actually finish it! 😜

Not because I didn't like it (I did) it just got put out of sight. 🤷‍♂️

Gonna plow through it right now. 🤗

Tanisha_A Love the photograph. How the sun falls on the snow sprinkled trees! 😍 6y
GrilledCheeseSamurai @Tanisha_A thanks. 🤗. The snow would be a lot prettier if I didn't have to shovel it. 😅. Spent a good hour outside shovelling today after we got dumped on last night. 🌨 🤷‍♂️ 6y
Serotonin This series is soooo good 😉 I‘m excited for the anime too! 6y
Tanisha_A @GrilledCheeseSamurai Ugh! I can understand. All is not fair in snowfall. 😆 6y

😱😬 When is vol.2 out?!?
I noticed now that this is rated T for older teen. I think that is a bit in excess (but I don't know how horrific the series will get yet). My 11y/o is mature enough for it but she wouldn't have been a year ago.

My daughter asked me if I had started this yet and added, "I almost feel like I should warn you... but no. You read so much I'm sure you have read about worse things."
Now what does that mean?! Sounds like this should be just the thing to wake me up for more #24in48. Well played, my child. Well played.

Our birthday tradition for school days is birthday cards and one present (if time) at breakfast. My daughter simply picked a gift from the top and ended up with a manga from the lovely @LibrarianRyan and a magnificent stack of colour-in bookmarks, ditto post cards, (+ stickers and sweets) from fab littens @erzascarletbookgasm @PerksOfBeingABookworm and @Cinfhen She sends her thanks and was almost late for school due to sorting and reading. 😂
