There is no doubt that “The Promised Neverland” is currently one of, if not, the most suspenseful manga and anime properties in the market. Few other works of fiction in Japanese pop culture even comes close to the twists and turns that it offers. However, the manga might be dangerously close to jumping the shark by including magic. “The Promised Neverland” Chapter 131 could then add more nails to the coffin.
The current trajectory of the story puts Emma and Ray squarely on the path with the most difficulty. As TheAnimeScrolls notes, there is a need to go to The Seven Walls. However, the publication was way off in predicting how the pair was going to go about it. Instead of walking anywhere, the two basically just used a familiar ritual that transported them in front of a mysterious gate. This is where readers will find them in “The Promised Neverland” Chapter 131.
When this particular tidbit was featured the first time around, there was still an air of jarring mystery and surprise to it because of how alien the concept was. “The Promised Neverland” always felt more like a sci-fi survival story than anything, and now, there is magic involved? One can only hope that this is not the case and that there will be an alternate explanation for the phenomenon in “The Promised Neverland” Chapter 131.
If not, the manga will be entering the genre of fantasy and that could change the landscape completely. Suddenly, there will be Deus ex machinas everywhere and the manga would lose its appeal. Things should be fine if the writer keeps things subtle, though. The thought of “The Promised Neverland” Chapter 131, for example, still comes with a tug of suspense.
As for when “The Promised Neverland” Chapter 131 is even coming out, fans should be able to read it on April 19. The chapter is likely to feature a ton of scenes involving the demons and their queen, as well as answers regarding where the door will lead Emma and Ray.
