Great news for fans of "The Promised Neverland": The popular manga series is getting a new spin-off to celebrate its 10th anniversary. As announced during Shueisha's "Jump Press" livestream on April 27, 2026, a special one-shot will be published in "Weekly Shonen Jump" in summer 2026.
The new chapter comes from the series' original creators, author Kaiu Shirai and illustrator Posuka Demizu. The story, which began in 2016 and ended in 2020, revolves around a group of orphans who discover the shocking truth about their orphanage and devise a daring escape plan.
The release of the one-shot is part of a larger project package celebrating the manga's 10th anniversary. This includes, among other things, a first musical adaptation set to premiere in Tokyo in winter 2026, a fully colored digital version of the manga, and various pop-up stores in Japanese cities. Further details about the content of the special chapter were not initially revealed, but a first look at a draft page suggests a return of familiar characters.
