When Protestants were getting more leverage in the region, and getting branded as a heretic meant death. The setting takes place during the age of witch hunts and holy inquisitions. This is my first review so apologies if it sounds like crap or I don't do this manga justice. Sounds interesting right? It has all the elements that I enjoyed from TPN, like mind games, suspense, and characters with personalities that compliment each other.

TLDR: Think of Hengoku no Schwester as the first arc of The Promised Neverland, but with a revenge plotline and the 'demons' are actually the Catholic church. Also it is more dynamic from panel to panel. You flip a site and BAM you are looking into some strange eyes that will hunt you at night. Also the story goes somewhere strange at some point and it’s not building up a great folklore, so point goes to Neverland for world building.Īs of the style both are very good drawn, but I have to say that Jinrui kept the horror and madness of some situations better. Especially that one guy with long hair and glasses. Junrui on the other hand has more douchebags as protagonists and that’s why it’s maybe not for everyone. I can see why Neverland is more popular with manga fans in general, because the nature of the main protagonists are more cheerful and they are pure hearted children. But Neverland has more of a fairytale feel to it where Junrui is Sci-Fi horror. I am really into experiments on humans and the madness that befalls people in strange circumstances, so I liked both mangas quite a lot. If you liked Yakusoku no Neverland because of a world that lies hidden under a seemingly normal daily live where people are eaten by demons and where a government exists who serves demon like entities by experimenting on humans, then Shokuryou Jinrui is your first choice.
