Oyakusoku no Neverland (お
The Parodied Jokeland debuted on January 11, 2019 and concluded on March 28, 2019 with a total of twelve chapters in addition to eight special chapters. The complete series was compiled into a single volume which was released on June 4, 2019 alongside Volume 14 and the English version of Volume 10.[2] Less than one week after its publication, the volume did well in sales and thus reprints have been made.[3]
The series is currently only officially available in Japanese, Chinese and French. An official English translation of the volume is yet to be released.
Background[]
The manga was initially intended to be a one-shot work (that is, just one chapter) that would have re-drawn Chapter 1 of the original manga in a comical way. The manga was published in the monthly magazine Jump GIGA on July 26, 2018. However, given the positive response of the one-shot, Oyakosuku No Neverland became a full series. Starting from January 11, 2019, the spin-off was published every week in the Shōnen Jump+ magazine. It concluded on March 28, 2019 with a total of twelve chapters, which were released near the release dates of the first 12 episodes of the anime. Eight additional special chapters of the spin-off series would be published in the following months. The Parodied Jokeland only parodies the main manga series up to the Goldy Pond Battle Arc as that was the latest arc released in the manga at the time of The Parodied Jokeland's publication.
Synopsis[]
Find Emma, Ray, Norman and the whole gang in merry mode in wacky adventures that follow one another at a frenetic pace! Will they be able to escape from Grace Field House amidst this avalanche of delirious gags?! As for you, will you be able to recognize all the key scenes that are parodied here?
The Parodied Jokeland follows the same story as the main manga series if it were a gag manga. As such, the series is much less serious than it's source material with less focus on story, characters and world building. It also skips large chunks of the original manga, instead opting to focus on making fun of certain scenes, quotes and panels as opposed to telling a story.
