Mamoru Kanbe blatantly on the NE and no homo agenda lmao

(Minerva Confidential Report from the S1 Blu-ray)

Given Shirai's sentiments shown in the mystic code book and the 2018 Demizu-Kobayashi interview from the year the anime was in production, I do think Sugita was purposely coy and obfuscating with the "but not romantically" comment, but still interesting how there was some back and forth on that approval.

i will forever hate how the anime made it seem like norman ONLY cared about emma and not ray like his nightmare, in the anime he only held her but in the manga he went for them both. Also when he broke down after the entire demon thing both emma AND ray hugged him. its like they read norman liked emma and went "oh yeah lets completely forget about ray"

Saw this meme going around twitter so I decided to do it with my favs...

[ed-recovery-affirmations]

In light of the recent Gwyneth Paltrow interview (if you're on my page you've probably already seen it, tbh, but if you haven't - she basically details her extremely restrictive daily diet and talks about taking her vitamins intravenously) I'd like to remind you all that your body was meant to enjoy and take pleasure in food. You also need proper fats to make the best use of the vitamins you recieve. No fad diet or celebrity trend can replace having a healthy relationship with food.

As a chronic illness sufferer I've spoken with many people who need to use g-tubes, nutrient infusions, and TPN in order to survive. And there is nothing shameful or bad about using these survival tools if you are sick enough to need them! If they keep you alive and get nutrition into your body, that's absolutely wonderful. But people who need these medical resources have well-documented medical struggles associated with needing to receive their nutrients this way. Being sick sucks. It's really, really hard. Needing IV nutrition is not something for the healthy to romanticize.

I'd just like to remind you that it is not normal or desirable for a healthy person to choose IV nutrients rather than ingesting a meal. These devices are for the use and support of very sick people (and as a side note, I think it's sickening that wealthy celebrities will glamorize their casual use of these devices while others struggle to afford the medical supplies that they genuinely need.) By legitimizing her methods as a "lifestyle choice" the entertainment industry is also legitimizing the marketing of a severe eating disorder, but you do not have to buy it. And if you're not sick enough to need IV nutrition and you are able to take in an enjoyable meal by mouth, I hope you find yourself in a place where you are able to appreciate and enjoy that today.

My favorite of the bunch:

(Chapter 92 Bonus Sketch)

Q: Please tell me why Paula always covers her mouth! A: I previously asked Demizu-sensei if she had a scar. It's a GP injury. I think there are a variety of reasons why people wear bandanas, such as it's not fun to show them, they don't want to scare people, or they just don't particularly want to show them. Adam didn't change his reaction when he saw the wound, so I think Paula was someone he could eat with without worrying about it. However, as for keeping it a secret from the other children, at least I don't think that will be the case after the collapse of GP.

(The Promised Neverland Art Book World | Chapter 111)

I also learned from Demizu-sensei at the time that the cloth that Dominic wears around his waist [during the Cuvitidala timeskip] matches the cloth around Paula's mouth. When I heard that, I suddenly felt Dominic's respect for Paula, his kindness, his closeness to her, and all sorts of other warm feelings, and I was taken aback and looked up to the sky. I wanted to show this story off-scene, but when I tried to draw it, it was difficult, and I couldn't draw it. Wanted to tell you this right now.

And for this bit:

Ray and Norman are both smart boys, but the nature of that intelligence is completely different.

I still really like @tempo-takoyaki's and @solitaire-dreams' meta of the differences between the full score trio's types of intelligence (and the strengths and weaknesses that come from that) based on the official site's IQ tests (found here).

Shirai and Posuka's answers to fan questions are here!

Here's the first batch! Part 2 will be released next week.

(the missing question asked which character Shirai sensei sees himself resembling to)

("colored door" implied the colored chapter cover pages. In japanese they're called "tobirae"/扉絵 which literally reads door art)

[fullscoreshenanigans]

Wait wait. You said 9 PPL are aware that Isabella is Ray's bio mom. Who are these 9?

And do you think Emma and Norman would figure out this fact all by themselves later?

[Related posts]

This is something that Shirai recently confirmed in the 8th anniversary Q&A on the Yakuneba community website, specifically here in the second batch of answers released.

I love how exact he is with this answer without elaborating at all lmao

With the way it's translated, I'm unsure if "know" means everyone who ever knew this information or characters who are alive at the end of the story and are aware of it.

These ones are for sure:

1. Ray 2. Jessica 3. Matilda 4. Scarlet 5. Sienna

So that leaves four others.

If it's characters who are alive and people can mean anyone, then the Grace Field Demon Boss might count since his fate is unknown after chapter 177. The last we hear about him is that the royal demon guard arrested him after his head was lobbed off.

I also default to Mike Ratri knowing as the head of the Ratri clan with access to the database containing all the information related to the cattle children:

(Chapter 7 | Chapter 22)

I talk about this here, too, but it seems like Krone brought a dossier with information about the plant #3 children with her in order to confirm the veracity of Ray's bait note implicating Isabella's assistance in their upcoming escape due to knowing Ray was her biological son. If Krone had access to information like that, I don't think it's out of bounds for Mike to have it as well. Even if he isn't aware of it at the time the children arrive in the human world, if he's a point of contact with the cast to help them settle into the human world initially, I wouldn't be surprised if delved deeper into information regarding children of note like the full score trio.

If we're including characters who have died, then the list looks like this:

1. Ray 2. Isabella 3. Grandma Sarah 4. Krone 5. Jessica 6. Matilda 7. Scarlet 8. Sienna

With the ninth person being up in the air, though as of right now I settle on Mike for angst in my own silly little headcanons and AUs.

Interestingly, there's also this line from the second chapter of the mystic code book:

"The farm authorities didn't want Isabella to suspect that Ray is her biological son" makes it sound like this was common knowledge among the upper ranks of headquarters (and something I like angsting about in posts like this one. If Isabella is off limits from being eaten due to being the youngest and most capable Mom the farms have ever seen, then eating her son is theoretically the next best thing).

(Mystic Code Book Chapter 1 and Chapter 7 Q&As)

But again, I'm not sure how much of this is tied up in the translation and how much of this is Shirai being potentially contradictory after a decade of being involved with this story.

Do you think Emma and Norman would figure out this fact all by themselves later?

I appreciate how you word this because I'm of the mind there is absolutely no way in hell Ray would ever willingly reveal this information to anyone without prompting from outside forces until his very late teens/early twenties at the earliest (see here for an extremely indulgent AU of mine that incorporates a throughline they discarded in S2 where Isabella goes after the kids as an extreme version of an outside force).

(Mystic Code Book Chapter 6 Q&A)

If he has any say in the matter, he's taking this information to the grave.

However, that doesn't mean Emma and Norman can't discern things on their own. After the events of the escape arc, if a fanfic author runs with the idea that Emma and/or Norman picked up on this but remain quiet on the subject because that's Ray's secret to keep or reveal (something I've seen before), I think it's reasonable, though I think it's less likely for Emma to rediscover after losing her memories and assuming she never regains them.

I'm also someone who likes to overthink about this panel from chapter 174 and Norman's incorporation in it. It could easily just be due to knowing Ray had a unique relationship with Isabella due to being her spy for years…but why not throw more angst in with him knowing the extra layer of gravity in this exchange between the two as another reason for his knowing and somber expression? (You could also extend this to Emma, but I focus on Norman just because we can see he's looking back at Ray whereas Emma's still looking in the general direction of Isabella). He had over a year in Lambda to reflect on his time at Grace Field and pore over all the oddities he noticed between Isabella and Ray but chalked up to other things at the time…and isn't that so incredibly like Ray to keep that kind of conflict and pain to himself, either to spare others or because he loathes pity. There's a sad fondness tinging the thought.

I also like to entertain the idea of Peter and Norman interacting more because it's one of the least explored protagonist and antagonist dynamics in the series. Even if it isn't prompted by having a familial connection with Norman that I touch upon here:

This is already long but a tangentially related conversation to this eventually comes up with Peter asking about Emma and Ray. On the surface, it's to connect with Norman and learn more about his life at Grace Field, but the ulterior motive is to see if there's any information he can glean about these kids to find and capture them quicker. Norman will give it to him for having the tact not to slip and refer to them by their numbers like he's sure he wants to do, but he's still incensed at their names in his mouth. There's also the chance that Peter might reveal a crumb of information himself about their status (because Norman can't see why he would be asking unless he had something to gain from it, so that has to mean their escape was a success and they were all alive. The alternative would kill him), so he entertains the conversation. --- #also it might seem counterintuitive to kill Emma and Ray if he wants to engender love for him in Norman #but the sentiments are Norman would have eventually outgrown them anyway so it's fine and he'll get over it lol

The full score trio are kind of like celebrities among demon nobility and humans at headquarters.

(Chapter 1 | Chapter 80 | Chapter 76 | Chapter 152 | Chapter 156 | Chapter 159)

So I could see Peter asking Norman about them to gain information, and maybe one of the things he brings up is Isabella's connection with Ray, possibly bringing up the note if he somehow managed to be privy to that information (maybe Sarah told him, maybe he stumbled across the note in Sarah's office during the transfer of power from her to Isabella as Grandma since Isabella most likely came across it among the treasures Sarah collected over the years, like the embroidered map of headquarters in the second light novel/Krone's bonus chapter, lots of contrivances to work with) to both see how Norman reacts to it and as a means to evaluate how trustworthy Isabella is in her new role.

Something I imagine for that earlier mentioned Isabella Raids the Bunker AU, but I think it's transferable to other scenarios as well, is Ray divulging that secret to Norman in light of the circumstances, and Norman revealing he put the pieces together because he had a lot of time to think at Lambda, citing a few instances that made more sense to him because of it, and in an echo to their exchange in chapter 13/S1 episode 5, Ray responds with something along the lines of "I really can't get anything past you, huh."

Norman's intelligence is one of the many reasons he's fond of and cares for him, how capable and attentive it can make him, but there's bittersweetness and grief tinging those words due to the situation in general and at the thought of him having been obvious about things back at the house that all circle back around to him loathing the idea of pity directed at him when roughly sixty of his siblings at Grace Field plant #3 suffered a worse fate under Isabella's care, a few of them as a direct result of his choices.

It's the self-loathing that makes his mind interpret his friends looking at him with pity when what they're offering him is understanding, compassion, and love.

OH MY FUCKING GOD

I THINK I CRACKED THE CODE ON THE PREMIUM FARMS NAMES IN THE PROMISED NEVERLAND

Okay so something we all know is that the name of every Premium Farm starts with the letter G, and so far I have seen no explanations as to why. So I decided to do some research on the author (Kaiu Shirai) and his interviews in hopes of finding something, to no avail.

Or so I thought.

See, I found something important (in my opinion) that I easily brushed over. Shirai is a Christian. I at first just thought this was some interesting trivia or something but then I took a moment to think about it, and I quickly made the connection between his religion and Emma’s orphanage starting with the word grace (Grace Field) - an extremely important concept in the Christian religion.

So, I quickly decided to look up the significance of the letter G in the bible and found this:

Also, gamol represents the caring of a creature until it is mature (which was taken from the sentence in Genesis 21:8:

Knowing that the purpose of the Premium Farms is to nurture the children as best as possible until their shipment age, and that Shirai is a Christian, there’s absolutely no way this is a coincidence.

To be fair, it could likely also be a reference to God or Genesis, but the more common way to refer to gods in Japanese would be 神 or 神様 (kami or kamisama). Though, the Christian god can be commonly referred to as ゴッド (Goddo) so the point still still stands. I doubt it is a reference to Genesis though since TPN and the Book of Genesis don’t really have much to do with each other and it’s also called 創世記 (souseiki) which doesn’t even start with a G.

Anyways I just found this really interesting and I needed to share with everyone!

[1000sunnygo]

Is there a reason why TPN is set in the future? And in particular in 2045?

Why is it set in future?

I think the main reason was to mislead the readers (the setting seems to be Victorian England but it's actually future) + Shirai decided that European aesthetic suits the story but he wanted to avoid a specific time in history.

Fanbook + LeFigaro interview (2019)

2045 simply because the storyboard was written in 2013-2014, and "45" feels like "close to present but in future" from 34 (aka it's pretty random pff)

The editor, as usual, adds a little more to their conversation. Here's direct translation from fanbook pg. 14 (bottom paragraphs) :

Shirai (author) : (..) The year 2045 was chosen because I drew the series manuscript in 2013-2014, and something closest to it but in future would be 2045, isn't it? I think that's the reason.

Sugita (editor) : "2045 problem" was often discussed back then, and we decided 2045 because the year of the Singularity (technological singularity) sounded cool, if I remember right. The story is a bit in the future, so we made it a sci-fi kind of time period.

2045年問題, aka 2045 problem

Editor Sugita had always been enthusiastic about the bits of scifi elements, comparing 7 walls setting to a Sci-fi movies [x] . Whenever there's any science related background or explanation in the story or in interviews, it's most likely his addition.

Legit this is what fanbook reading felt like

(Notes by @1000sunnygo on this post)

This is why I personally can't fault Shirai for ending the series when he did while trying to maintain his sense of artistic integrity, even with my complaints about the back half of the series.

escape arc is easily the best tpn arc and there are critiques to be had about the pacing in later arcs but if you say everything post-escape is unoquivocally bad you are simply wrong and dumb i'm so sorry

TPN Mangakas Interview: original plan changes, Dr. Stone overlap, & rushed ending

(pic above is taken from vol 20 manga’s commentaries)

The Promised Neverland is a fairly successful Shonen Jump manga series that’s just ended a few months ago. Kaiu Shirai is the author of said series, and Demizu Posuka is the artist who illustrated the manga to completion. This month (October 2020) the duo did a magazine interview in the context of the manga’s end of serialization.

The interview was in Japanese, shared by @TPNmanga and translated by @shamstahsin on twitter. What I’m sharing here is only a few tidbits I found interesting. You can visit their accounts for the complete interview.

Shirai’s comment on how much his story changed from his original plan:

Shirai’s explanation on why the story end so quickly:

Shirai & Posuka’s comments on their future plan:

Shirai & Posuka’s comments on the upcoming Live Action:

[fullscoreshenanigans]

listen after teasing us in the October 2020 series completion interview we deserve it

still hoping for a Shaman King Perfect Edition situation with an additional 15 chapters being added, but I'd be happy with this chapter

how many people are gonna ask kaiu shirai and demizu posuka about the ayshe chapter

Ray vs Demon

[freiahs]

Don: When I was born I had to choose between being beautiful or having a good memory.

Ray: And which one did you choose?

Don: I can't remember.
