A Promise Never Kept

            

 



      
      Due to my recent blog " A Demonic Plague" I've decided to read another manga. I read volume one of The Promised Neverland. I would classify it as a hidden horror dystopian, which I don't think is a thing but it's how i would put it, because it has a very cute coverup for a dark story. Like stated promised Neverland is a dystopian at its finest with a world against the characters with some form of twisted normal. The main characters are three kids under the age of twelve who all live in an orphanage with a "Mother". The kids are tested every day in academics to see which kids are the smartest. The kids or kid who ranked the lowest would then miraculously get "adopted" over time. This is when it started getting creepy.                                                          
"mother" or "mom" who also 
resembles a maid with Emma.

                                                                                               G o 

    I found this read quite thrilling. I picked it up because I thought it was going to be cute until I read a little more and got this feeling of foreboding, almost like something isn't quite right. A little girl around the age of six named Conny ends up getting "adopted". In short, the girl forgot her stuffed animal and the main character, Emma, goes to give it to her. Emma then stumbles upon a nightmare, little Conny dead. When i tell you me jaw DROPPED, I mean it. I'm not going to put in the photo due to it being grunion, but she was literally stabbed with a flower. Obviously, Emma was mortified and ran away dropping the bunny causing her to get caught. After she got caught, she then got interrogated in the photo on the left.
   
     I really like this manga I would recommend if you like a lil spook it does have quite a few twists and turns and is quite dark. This a snip bit of the story but if you do read it just know whatever you think it's about its not. If any of you have any dystopian, horror, thriller, or other book or manga recommendations please leave them I'd love to read them.

    This is a very nice blog. I like the transition between the paragraphs especially, as it brings good character to your blog. I like the way that you explain the book, but yet don't spoil it for potential readers. The use of pictures is also a great touch. This blog is a 4.5/5

    I love this especially since I understand the series being talked about. I have not be able to get my hands on the books but the anime does play off the books. I think that you put a ton of thought into this and it shows!! Also, its very nice that you didn't spoil the series or book!!
    4/5 FOUND FILES!

    Anyone who reads/ watches this is not mentally sane! /hj. The anime lowkey was bomb until s2. I have not read the manga since im more of a anime watcher than reader. (that lowkey sounded so weird, like a nerd😭) but yeah so yummy.

    This sounds very interesting, and like it would have you on the edge of your seat. I really enjoyed the format of "Down the rabbit hole we go". It adds a lot of character to your blog, and makes it more interesting! Overall, great job! 4.5/5 stars!

    Like I had mentioned before I have never really gotten into anime or dystopian novels and it was really nice to be introduced to this style. Besides what you wrote, I really enjoyed the layout you had used since it added character to the blog. You made this really interesting, and gives me more of a motive to get into this genre! I give this blog a 5/5!

Little Nightmares

       I've recently replayed the Little Nightmares series and have realized little things in the world that have made me think. Little Nightmares one and two are a puzzle horror game where you have to hide and maneuver around several monsters in the game. I have made a few theories on what different parts of the game could mean. For instance, every single monster that is shown is a disfigured adult. There's a teacher, cook, hunter, etc. While you appear to be very small you have to sneak passed these monsters who tower over you. I feel these resemble common fears most children have especially the school. In the school there are these broken dolls that set traps to kill you. These traps resemble things that a bully could use such a mop bucket filled with water. Throughout this part of the game you can hear demented giggleing and shadows for these dolls following you around and watching. When you finally get to the teacher theres some off very off about her. She has a...

A Dystopian World

     For those who don't know the hunger game is basically a fallen U.S. dystopian that has twelve districts. Each districts have its own wealth and problems, Katniss, the main character, lives in the poorest district, district twelve. Each year the government called the capital holds an annual Hunger Games in which a boy and a girl's name from each district will be drawl from a bowl. They will then have to participate in the huger games and compete to the death until there is one winner. Kaniss's sisters name gets pulled and she ends up volunteering to take her place in the games, Peeta being the boy that was pulled. I found three things that i found quite intriguing while reading The Hunger Games by Suzzane Collins.     The relationships in the book felt more real than in the movie, specifically between Rue, Peeta and Katniss. To start off one major difference was the bread scene between Peete and Katniss. In the movie it is shown as a negative event where Pee...

A Demonic Plauge

Image
           So I picked up the first three volumes of Girl from the Other Side which is a manga/graphic novel. The volumes are a bit short so I decided to just put them together. Most graphic novels are either about a romance, a superhero, or both. But this book was different. The book is set in a dystopian world where there is a demonic plague of creatures going around. If you get touched by sed creatures you become one. The main character, a little girl named Shiva about the age of five or six, is drawn in all white so she stands out amongst the dark world. Then we get to the second main character, a monster plagued with the curse of looking like one of them while still retaining his humanity, looks after the child after finding her wandering in the woods on her lonesome. I think it’s interesting that the girl is drawn as bright white so she stands out like a little light on the pages. The monster was in a dark place, no pun intended until he found his lig...
