Author Notes
I was told that the anime would start around the time this volume went on sale in Japan.

Even though the days pass by so quickly, the progress of the anime gradually getting made is more fun than I ever dreamed.

By the way, in the next volume, a certain someone is finally going to make a move!!

The puzzle pieces are getting placed, and the day they form a full picture is drawing near.

I'll see you in the next volume!

Writer Shirai's interesting tidbits for The Promised Neverland fanatics, part 4!

I love the notes that Demizu Sensei wrote with the character designs.

Nigel and Yvette make Team Artisan. Gillian and Alicia are Team Gillian's High School. And then...Thoma, Lanni and Sandy are Team Broccoli.

(Broccoli!)

Please enjoy this volume!
