They believed that they were orphans and once they reached a certain age or intelligence, they would be taken out for adoption, but were fed to high-ranking demons instead.Further information: List of The Promised Neverland charactersThe bright and cheerful Emma is an 11-year-old orphan living in Grace Field House, a self-contained orphanage housing her and 37 other orphans. These children had identifying numbers tattooed on them and had no knowledge of the outside world. In the demon world, a special breeding program was set up under the guise of orphanages there, a human "Mother" would oversee the children to make sure they grew up as intelligent as possible. By eating humans, demons take on their attributes which prevent them from degenerating into mindless monsters. "The Promise" was an agreement where each would live in their own separate "worlds": the human world, free from the threat of demons and the demon world, where human breeding farms were set up to provide food for the demons.
Emma and Norman plan with Ray to escape from Grace Field House with the children, but Norman is taken off to be "adopted". At the gate, they find Conny dead and discover the truth about their existence in this idyllic orphanage – to be raised as meat for demons. The orphans are allowed complete freedom, except to venture beyond the perimeter wall or gate which separate the house from the outside world.One night, a girl named Conny is sent away to be "adopted", but Emma and Norman follow with her favorite stuffed animal toy. Their education is seen as an important part of their development, and Emma with her two best friends Norman and Ray, always excel in the regular exams.
Kaiu Shirai brought the 300 page of The Promised Neverland draft to the Weekly Shōnen Jump editorial department. Eventually, through her own determination, Emma secures the freedom of all the children and re-forges "The Promise", but at the cost of her own memory.The series first conception originated by the end of 2013, from a draft originally simply titled Neverland, but was later changed to The Promised Neverland after running into some copyright issues. Emma and Ray later meet up again with Norman and together with their allies, they fight a battle for freedom against the demon queen Legravalima and the human Peter Ratri who manages the Farms. They encounter demons of all descriptions, including Mujika and Sonju who aid them in their quest.
Some candidates turned down the offer, giving comments like the story did not feel like a Jump manga, or that it would not become a hit, so they were "really happy and excited" when Demizu agreed to work on it. Shirai considered Posuka Demizu as one of the candidates, as he and Sugita felt that her art was the best fit for the series' imagery. They had difficulties trying to find an artist whose style could match the story, ranging from famous illustrators to new and upcoming talent.
This is how the story of The Promised Neverland was born". Shirai said: "All these fears, ideas, influences, have come together. He also mentioned that part of the story came from some nightmares that he had as a kid, especially after having read Hansel and Gretel, stories about children being eaten, and a manga focused on spirits that made him ask himself if the monsters could solve their problems if they raised humans like cattle. Inspirations Shirai was inspired by children's folklore books from all over the world and video games like Final Fantasy for the series' setting creation, while for the horror elements, he said that he only used his imagination because he did not like horror films. The one-shot was popular among readers and Sugita expressed that they were the right team for The Promised Neverland. Before The Promised Neverland began its serialization, Shirai and Demizu published the one-shot Poppy’s Wish ( ポピィの願い, Poppy no Negai) on the Shōnen Jump+ online platform in February 2016.
He had no particular reasons to choose England, but the Grace Field House orphanage name written in English in the text appealed to him. He also wanted to avoid situating the story in a very specific time frame. The series' setting was inspired by the Victorian England, as Shirai expressed that he wanted to "destabilize the readers, to lead them on the wrong tracks" by making them think that the story was set in an English orphanage in the 19th century. She also mentioned Naoki Urasawa's Monster, Ghibli's universe and prison escape films, like Escape from Alcatraz, Papillon, The Great Escape and the American television series Prison Break.

Despite its dark tone, Shirai wanted to publish The Promised Neverland in Weekly Shōnen Jump instead of a seinen manga magazine because it was the kind of stories that he would have liked to read at 15 and that there was no reason to deprive the magazine's readership of a story due to an editorial line. They considered the word to be important and agreed to also mention it in the plot. They then came up with “Promised” around the time they were working on the post-escape story.
According to Shirai, the main characters are children because the magazine is mainly read by them and adolescents, making easier the identification for the reader, and the concept of children rebelling against adults was used because it is a classic theme in many stories.
