The Promised Neverland Wiki

The Promised Forest Arc (誓いの森編, Chikai no Mori-hen?) is the third story arc in The Promised Neverland series.

Emma and Ray have escaped the orphanage with most of the children and are venturing into the outside world for the first time.

Summary[]

The children have successfully escaped Grace Field House, but their troubles are just beginning. Now up against a dangerous natural world and their demon pursuers, Emma and Ray struggle through a dangerous forest to lead the children to safety. When the pursuers almost catch up to them and just when the situation is at its most dire, a mysterious woman and man suddenly appear. They are revealed to be Mujika and Sonju, two demons who don't eat human meat. Despite the initial hostility, Mujika and Sonju bond with the children; teaching them survival skills, as well as revealing the truth of the world they find themselves in.

After becoming independent enough to survive on their own and getting a distance from their pursuers, the orphans finally make their way out of the forest. With their improved survival skills, Emma, Ray, and the other children arrive at the location laid out in Minerva’s hidden message. But awaiting them there is a man who is not ready to welcome them in.
