The Promised Neverland Wiki

The King of Paradise (楽園の王, Rakuen no Ō?) is the thirteenth volume of The Promised Neverland series. Volume 13 came with a copy of a special edition which features Posuka Demizu's colored manga art, notes on various episodes of the anime adaptations, interviews of Emma, Norman and Ray's voice actresses as well as interviews with the two authors themselves.

Synopsis[]

Emma, Ray and their large new family find themselves up against a new enemy, fellow humans. Armed intruders have ambushed the shelter and driven the children back out into the dangerous wilderness. Yugo and Lucas have stepped up to fight, but will it be enough?

Plot[]

Volume thirteen of The Promised Neverland brings us the conclusion to the hideout raid where Lucas and Yugo stay behind to allow all of them to escape. Emma and the others do just that and pick out a spot that they believe isn’t known by the Ratri Clan or the demons. Despite that, Andrew finds them and the reason behind how he found them leads them to realize that their safe haven isn’t so safe. William Minerva left them a message to travel someplace which, after decoded, is The Lion’s Jaw. They believe it’s a 10-day trip there but, at this point, it is their only option. They begin the journey where they run into two humans, Jin and Hayato, who is being attacked by demons. After they save them, they realize that they are agents of Mr. Minerva sent to find them once he got word that the shelter was attacked by the Ratri Clan.

The volume ends when they realize that they’re not going to make it to the shelter in time before Chris could die from his injuries. They decide to take a detour by raiding a nearby farm for its medicine.

Author Notes[]

The vampiric plant Vida was featured beautifully in the anime.

Vida is a fictitious flower, but...

"The way the small flowers come together to bloom symbolizes families and unity." These were the words for the flower Verbena, and I really liked them. So I used them as reference for the design of Vida.

Spring is just about starting. For those of you who are interested, you can try growing some Verbena.

Please look forward to the next volume! I'm so inspired by the exciting plot developments that I've already thought of what to do for the next cover!

Writer Shirai's personal highlights for The Promised Neverland fanatics, part 9!

1. The grave of Kaiu Shirai (I wonder where it could be?)

2. Don is sensitive to heat (he was like that in volumes 5 and 6 too...)

3. The voice in the first panel on page 117... Whose voice is it?

By the way, according to Demizu Sensei, the motifs of volumes 1 through 12 are hidden in the volume 13 cover! Try looking for them!

Please enjoy this volume!
