This is golden week and last week we didn't have any chapter out, so we are now looking at the chapters for next week.

Correct me if I'm wrong.

We got a chapter last weekend.

I checked the shonen jump site, and the next issue is May 8th, so I guess somehow the chapters for next week got leaked.

 

[KillerBEA]

Yeah especially since they said that it will become

Spoiler

an Adventure series.

What does that mean? A power system?

Unlikely. Probably means they're gonna have to find the humans who are resisting, including the book person.

Finds book person, book person teaches them power system.

Spoiler

plz no

 

[Trojita]

It's going to be an adventure series as in they are adventuring through an unknown world.

It's going to be interesting to see where this goes. It could be phenomenal, they have a whole open world full of unknown discoveries and dangers to encounter, or it could be mediocre. It's all in the hands of the writer.

Next week's chapter always gets leaked a weak earlier. The difference here was Golden Week sometimes causes general fuckery when the leaks come out. They came out on Monday instead of Wednesday/Thursday.

 

[TheRealTalker]

Forrest as far as the eye could see


Looking at that reminded me of HXH and the Chimera Ant arc. Like what if they Ant kingdom succeeded in taking over humanity.

 

[NHarmonic.]

This chapter delivered the feels.

Isabella did the right thing in the end, eliminating the evidence and protecting the kids.

 

[Linkura]

Great fucking chapter. Is it just me or did Isabella

Spoiler

remind anyone of Emma in the opening scene where she's a kid?

 

[MetroidPrimeRib]

So Ray heard that song when he was in the womb and Mama was singing it and remembered it?

This super babies stuff is getting hysterical

 

[cLOUDo]

They did it fam, they really did it

Can't wait for they learn NEN

 

[Joyful]

FUCK

Don't click unless you want to be spoiled on the spoiler

lol gj

 

[Chaotic-Strike]

It's cool they finally made it out.

Now I'm eager to see how messed up the outside world is.

The manga version of:

 

[Rebel Leader]

This chapter delivered the feels.

[Burbeting]

Since aliens eat brains, maybe all of the humans left alive in the outside world are dumb as bricks, so the kids are the only ones with any intelligence.

 

[Brazil]

Holy flying fuck at the chapter 37 twist.

This series keeps delivering the goods.

 

[mdubs]

Great fucking chapter. Is it just me or did Isabella

Spoiler

Me too. So sad - this chapter made me feel for Mom in ways I didn't expect to

Damn

 

[Candescence]

It's also thrilling to realize that Ray's view that the other kids were dead weight was dead wrong - everyone contributed to their triumph in some fashion, if anything, Emma and Ray were basically only bait for two months for the most part.


So, when's the first season of the anime coming? Seriously, there couldn't be a more perfect stopping point for a season 1, and since the manga is a weekly and apparently quite popular, you've got an excellent buffer for an ongoing anime series ready.

 

[Rymuth]

Nice chapter. Honestly, did not see the twist coming.

 

[Maximo]

Can't wait to learn about each child on a deep and personal level before they are slowly ripped apart one by one, we shall remember this chapter fondly...

 

[Big One]

I really legitimately think this series is going to be the next Attack on Titan/Tokyo Ghoul type manga. I still remember when Attack on Titan was first scanlated YEARS ago when no one really knew about it it blew up just like this series did in the niches of manga fandom on the internet. I have a feeling once this gets an anime it's going to really shine big time in sales.

I wouldn't expect an animeen for at least 1-2 years. Jump mangas tend to have at least 100 chapters before they get anime adaptations. Problem with adapting this will be pacing. First arc is 37 chapters, which is pretty awkward length. 13 episodes would be way too fast pacing, but 26 episodes would be way too long.

 

[Linkura]

Worried that Mama's gonna get Krone'd for this. She redeemed herself in the end. But I imagine they'll replace her with a real asshole who will be in charge of Phil and the littles and it's gonna make it that much harder for them to be rescued.

 

[Puruzi]

I see Mama in a better light now but she's still a shit for breaking Emma's leg. That was a dick move.

 

[Dandy Crocodile]

Worried that Mama's gonna get Krone'd for this. She redeemed herself in the end. But I imagine they'll replace her with a real asshole who will be in charge of Phil and the littles and it's gonna make it that much harder for them to be rescued.

I hate Mama but I also feel like I'll be sad if she gets brutally murdered. She's a great starter villain.

 

[Trojita]

An anime this early would be a bad idea.

 

[Quintin DM]

God damn that was a good chapter. I always kind of felt that Isabella wasn't as evil as she was made out to appear. I mean ya sure she still did a lot of fucked up shit but I think we can see from this weeks chapter that she did deep down actually care for those kids, and getting a look at her past does make me feel for her a bit too. I hope she doesn't end up getting killed by those demons, causee I really want a reunion with her when they come back for the rest of the kids.

Spoiler

and man Ray is Isabella's son holy shit! I mean when I think about it it's not that surprising really but I just didn't see it coming at all tbh

 

[Puruzi]

An anime this early would be a bad idea.

But this chapter is already a good ending point

 

[Izayoi]

Worried that Mama's gonna get Krone'd for this. She redeemed herself in the end. But I imagine they'll replace her with a real asshole who will be in charge of Phil and the littles and it's gonna make it that much harder for them to be rescued.

Just think, though. Emma already explained everything to Phil. He'll have years to plot against the new Mama, just like Ray did.

Not only that, but he should be able to keep the other kids in the loop.

I wouldn't be surprised to see all of the plantations in rebellion by the time Emma and company return. Mark my words, Phil will be a main character at some point.

(I'm curious to see if the manga will swing back to check in on Phil every now and then, running parallel to the story of the Emma and the other escapees. Super excited to see where this goes - TONS of potential.)

She's done for and she knows it.

That was the reason she helped them out in the end.

 

[Opto]

Page 10 of chapter 37 may be one of the best pages in manga history in terms of delivering information

 

[Zen Aku]

Phil is going to be Neville Longbottom of this story.

 

[AntraxSuicide]

I figured they'd have to look for the book guy. So there's something going after them in the forest? Guess we've got new villains!

 

[Trojita]

It's obviously whatever Ray thought he saw in the forest that is taking the kids. Would have to be more than one though, to take that whole group.

Whether they are good, neutral, or bad, we'll have to find out.

 

[Kyuur]

Vanishing from thin air? Shonen powers are a-go.

 

[Monochromaticx]

huh
where did they go??

 

[Big One]

I'm calling it right now: The humans aren't actually on Earth, but on an Earth-like planet inhabited by the Demons and are being harvested for their food. William Minerva is an insider that is secretly plotting to rebel against his masters.

 

[Linkura]

Vanishing from thin air? Shonen powers are a-go.

Don't think the kids have any special powers. Might be some demon fuckery.

 

[Trojita]

It's obviously some forest creature doing it.

 

[janoDX]

I'm betting on some forest creature that at the end will become their ally and will die defending them.

 

[RainbowIslands]

I bet the pen activated something.

 

[Rebel Leader]

i bet they all saw a cute animal

 

[NHarmonic.]

Thinking about it, Ray's potential sacrifice was a lot more fucked up considering

Spoiler

he is Isabella's son

No idea how this will go, but i don't think we'll get shonen powers.


And i bet William Minerva is actually a demon.

 

[SalvaPot]

I smell spiders.

It's probably going to be a 1984 Goldstein situation.

 

[FlowersisBritish]

I have a brief guess of something that is either happening right now, or is going to happen. I think the culprit of the disappearing children is

Spoiler

adults

The demon said something about giving bonuses to whoever found them, and it gave me a thought. If I were a group of children who escaped from a farm controlled by demon's who would I look for?

Spoiler

Other humans

I'd probably be quick to trust them and follow them to their "camp" or something.

Just a passing theory/

 

[Eklesp]

mama.

Spoiler

poor mama

 

[Kyuur]

Don't think the kids have any special powers. Might be some demon fuckery.

Well more what I meant, the demons/outside world creatures/whatever having the ability to literally make people vanish brings magic into the fold. The demons are scary so far because they're hulking 20ft masses that look like they could rip humans to pieces, not because of special powers or abilities.

Of course, the disappearances could end up not being magic. Kids could be getting dragged up trees, underground, etc. That huge group without making a noise makes me doubt that a bit though.

 

[HamPster PamPster]

Now that they are outside I hope the story doesn't dive deeper into humans are the real monsters territory

 

[Ascheroth]

Not that they are outside I hope the story doesn't dive deeper into humans are the real monsters territory

I still think the 'demons' might be the result of mutation/genetic experiments of some kind, possibly even former humans.

 

[daveo42]

Liked the reactions to the outside world as well as what's going on with that pen finally. Was hoping for a little more time from escape to "being fucked" outside of the farm, but...

 

[Kyuur]

Kind of an underwhelming chapter this week.
