Summary

 * Main article: The Promised Neverland Movie

Grace Field House is a paradisaical orphanage filled with happiness. The orphans who live there with their “Mother”, the caretaker, Isabella, all look forward to the day they grow old enough to be adopted. Emma (Minami Hamabe), Ray (Kairi Jyo) and Norman (Rihito Itagaki) also believe they could lead an even happier life once they get to live in the outside world… only until "that day". After Emma and Norman see Conny off, who smilingly leaves the orphanage to be adopted, they find the stuffed toy Conny always kept in her arms left at the dining area of the house. To take the toy back to Conny, the two head to the "gate" which Isabella strictly has taught the children to stay away from, where they find Conny dead and ready to be shipped out as "food". The orphanage which the children thought to be was idyllic, was actually a "farm" to grow edible children to be offered to demons. Furthermore, the "Mother" they had all loved like their actual mother was actually a "cultivator" whose role was to raise the children to be premium feed. Finding out that everything was all but a fantasy, Emma, Ray and Norman begin their reckless attempt to break out of Grace Field House along with their other siblings.

Emma was living happily with her "mama" at the orphanage. She was looking forward to the day when she would be adopted by foster parents and live in the outside world. After finding a foster parent and leaving the orphanage, Emma and Norman realize that Conny has forgotten something, and head to the "gate" that they must never approach. What he saw there was Conny being offered as food to a demon. A novelization of the popular jailbreak suspense movie.
