Written by Kaiu Shirai and illustrated by Posuka Demizu, The Promised Neverland tells a story of children raised in an orphanage called “Grace Field House”. The 3 main leads, Emma, Ray, and Norman, try to find a way to help all the children escape from the orphanage. 

To celebrate the completion of the 4-year serialisation, a special exhibition will be held at the Roppongi Hills Indoor Observation Deck from 11th December 2020 to 11th January 2021 in Tokyo

The exhibition will showcase memorable scenes such as the touching reunion between Emma and Norman, and the decisive battle in the royal capital.

Apart from the exhibition, there’s also going to be a themed cafe event called “Cafe Grace Field” held next to the exhibition venue. The cafe will be open from 11th December 2020 to 11th January 2021. The design of the cafe is based on Grace Field House, the orphanage where the children lived. 

Look forward to themed cafe food based on the characters and items from The Promised Neverland. This includes the Isabella Burger (¥1,480, ~USD14.04), a hearty burger inspired by Isabella, the caretaker of the orphanage.

You can also try out Emma’s Omelette Rice, which is inspired by Emma’s iconic orange and spiky hair. The brightly-coloured dish is sprinkled with edible orange flowers and costs ¥1,380 (~USD13.09).

Ray’s Last Book Sandwich (¥1,550, ~USD14.70) depicts the scene where Ray hands over the last book he read to Emma, just before escaping the orphanage. The design of the book cover is printed on the bread and the french fries are topped with a picture of the scene.

Norman’s Farm Green Curry (¥1,580, ~USD14.99), is a spicy green curry dish garnished with a mini Norman figure perched atop the rice, surrounded by vegetables.
