Volume 19

Perfect Scores (満点) is the nineteenth volume of The Promised Neverland manga series.

Synopsis
With the queen now dead, chaos envelops the demon world. Emma and her friends head back to Grace Field House in order to rescue the other children from Peter Ratri - but can they make it in time? The final battle for the children's future begins!

Plot
In volume nineteen of The Promised Neverland, the final battle has come! After the defeat of the queen and the heads of the five regent houses, Sonju and Mujika attempt to revive the high priest who will be crowned the new king; however, Peter Ratri had other things in mind. He sent a proclamation to the capitol and pinned the blame on the Geelan clan as well as Sonju and Mujika. He then rounded up all of those who received the “tainted blood” and had them executed, saving Sonju and Mujika for last. While they were awaiting execution, we shift gears to a familiar piece of scenery… The Grace Field House.

Here, Isabella has returned, now a grandmother. Peter Ratri himself has infiltrated the house and brought all of the captured kids back there as bait for Emma, Norman, and Ray. Being the clever one as always, Norman has a plan and executes it. Infiltration wasn’t difficult but that was by Ratri’s design. Feeling that he has them trapped, he became naïve to a few things that he didn’t account for and soon turned the tables. Back in the capital, right when Sonju and Mujika are about to be executed, an old face shows up and interrupts things.

Author Notes
I hope you enjoy volume 19.

The release date of this volume was delayed a month in Japan, so I would like to thank everyone who waited patiently.

At the beginning of the story, Isabella was 31 years old, and now she's 33. Unlike Emma and the other kids, her physique hasn't changed much. But her position has gone up and her likfe has changed, so I tried to draw her with more authority and beauty.

Volume 20 is going to end this series.

Let's meet again then, in the final volume!!

Writer Shirai's interesting tidbits for The Promised Neverland fanatics, part 7!

In this volume, on page 72, panel 4, her name was revealed for the first time in the series.

But we snuck her name in a while ago in volume 3.

Did you notice?

Hint: the letter!

Please enjoy this volume!
