However, it will be streamed on Crunchyroll and Hulu in America. Promised Neverland is a highly regarded manga series that has sold 6 million copies as of September 14, 2018. I have heard many good thing about it but never got around to reading the manga. Since it’s now an anime series I’ll be focusing on the anime instead.
