Both stories' main themes revolve around the great mysteries of the world creation, dark past, and hidden history. Both have gore scenes and explicit content of devouring people. Both have the subplots that involve hide-and-seek, death of significant characters, and a lot of mind games. Though Yakusoku no Neverland seems to be more childish & optimistic, it still have the same motives of despair and hope, while revealing the darkest secrets of the world as Shingeki no Kyojin possesses.

Both of these manga are WSJ manga in which the main characters try to outwit their enemies and evade capture. They're also both tagged as mysteries on this website, and they both contain content that wouldn't be out of place in a seinen.

- A group of young characters, living on a mysterious setting, trapped and devoid of information, must go through challenges and mind games to achieve their objectives. - Focus on mystery and the need of creativity and intelligence to solve the problems faced. Both settings the characters have to overcome scenarios where they are being watched, having to hide their intentions and actions. - If you appreciated the beginning of Yakusoku no Neverland, you probably will appreciated the direction of the story of Shadows House, these are the point of intersection of the similarities between the works.

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. I am really into experiments on humans and the madness that befalls people in strange circumstances, so I liked both mangas quite a lot. But Neverland has more of a fairytale feel to it where Junrui is Sci-Fi horror. I can see why Neverland is more popular with manga fans in general, because the nature of the main protagonists  read more

First of all both of the mangas might seem childish but they contain a lot of darker themes. Anyway both of them contain other similarities like - > Kids from some kind of special orphanage. > Unique Adventure in unknown mysterious places. (Abyss - Made in Abyss, Promised land - Yakusoku no Neverland) > Intelligent and smart kids. > Demon-like and mysterious creatures. > Survival themes. So if you like Yakusoku no Neverland, you will like Made in Abyss too.

Battle of wits. Between a child and an adult, both Bastard and TPN follow a story in where the child has to take a stand for themselves, against an enemy whose superficial layers are perceived as a great person. TPN does with Emma, Ray, and Norman against the Grace Field House real motives. Bastard does this with Seon Jin against his seemingly "perfect" father. Both are good series with suspense around every corner to keep you in.

Orphans VS human-eating demons. These youngsters' lives, initially fairly quiet and joyful, quickly become filled with suffering and death. Even surviving is hard, and finding happiness and a safe place in such a dark, merciless world seems impossible. Thankfully, a revolutionary group might come in their aid. Being shounen, both series are pretty lenghty and focus on themes of friendship/family and the importance of teamwork, as well as the training and strategies to defeat the hideous monsters.

Both manga are about kids in orphanage who try to runaway before their destiny. 
reportRecommended by Hiru_Napyeer
In both of these manga the humans are presented as "the hunted" by other creatures (in Tokyo Ghoul, Ghouls, and in Yakusoku no Neverland, Demons). In both Ghouls and Demons seemingly have their own society. Both have horror and psychological themes and the main characters start off having to adapt into the society they have been placed in by no fault of their own. 
reportRecommended by Marsh37
Both start out with the same premise : children and their mother's love. Death. Something horrible is bound to happen. Also, both are unconventional, more mature shounens with a touch of sci-fi. The protagonists are young geniuses. Monsters lurk around. And they seem to take place around the same historical period.

Children in a cruel, cruel world fighting to escape their grisly fate, while you wince and weep and cheer for them to succeed. Themes of survival and strategy/game are prominent in both, along with psychological insight and the aftermath of decisions and deaths on the young characters. Plot twists and secrets, deranged adults and traumatized kids, friendship and betrayal. The settings and protagonists' ages are slightly different, but the feel of hopelessness and desperation is the same, making these manga two of the darkest shounen titles around.

Innocent victim. Elfen Lied And The Promised Neverland both feature young individuals who have seen the dark side of the world they situate in first hand. Elfen Lied does this with Lucy as she is to be hunted down for what she is. TPN is the same with the Grace Field Children to be farmed due to their place in this new chain of beings. Without going into too many spoilers, they both have an ironic situation to do with aid later on in the stories. Both are good manga with TPN being psychological in terms of mind games, Elfen Lied having a different psychological aspect with  read more

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. 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. Truly a hidden gem of a manga. This is my first review so apologies if it sounds like crap or I don't do this manga justice. The setting takes place during the age of witch hunts and holy inquisitions. When Protestants were getting more leverage in the region, and getting branded as a  read more

Both series follow a group of children who finds themselves in an unknown, alien-like world and must adapt to survive its dangers. This is not the main premise of Neverland as it is for Hyouryuu Kyoushitsu/Drifting Classroom but rather it describes one part of it after a certain point. Moreover, in Neverland the group is tight-knit, while in Drifting Classroom they are not and that is another aspect that impedes their survival.

The Promised Neverland and Puella Magi Madoka Magica are two manga series that feature a female character in the lead role and seem to start off innocently. After the fate of another character, the plot is revealed to be a more mature story where the characters realize the dangers they're put in and that they are being used for others' benefit. These series are not meant for a younger/sensitive audience, as there are some scary imagery and some gore in both.

Suicide Girl and The Promised Neverland are two horror manga with an extremely energetic female protagonist. The main character has to save her kind from demons that try and take advantage of them. The art style in both manga are great, with a somewhat "inconsistent" yet bold style that exaggerates characters' faces when they are expressing intense emotions. Definitely read either of these if you like seeing crazy amounts of details in a drawing or extremely crazy-looking faces.

Bloodstained warfare for freedom. Akame ga Kill! and The Promised Neverland both follow protagonists who fight for freedom against some superior force above them. Akame ga Kill follows the a group of assassins, the Night Raid, in their battle against the empire who oppresses its people. TPN is the same as the children of Grace Field House must fight against the demons that dominate the world that they live in. Both are dark action-gore anime with losses along the path for freedom, made for the Shounen demographic.

There is nothing truly similar to TPN in my personal experience, but the thinking and planning involved with the characters combined with tragic death and high stakes makes both of these enticing reads!

SPY x family and The Promised Neverland feature intricate plots centered around characters navigating through a world filled with secrets and hidden agendas. In SPY x family, the protagonist builds a faux family for a mission, mirroring the strategic and suspenseful elements found in The Promised Neverland, where children uncover the dark secrets of their seemingly idyllic home. Both series skillfully blend action, suspense, and unique character dynamics, making them engaging and thrilling reads for fans of intricate storytelling.

Dorohedoro is deceptively similar to Promised Neverland---both are about our main characters exploring an unknown, magical world where they face monsters and villains, only to discover the ultimate truth about their past and the nature of reality, in the process bringing peace to the land. Dorohedoro is self-evidently a one-of-a-kind manga, it's bizarre, absurdist, insane, hilarious, and so much more, while the Promised Neverland is far more contained, taking the idea of the "demons" and expanding upon it to its logical extreme. Nonetheless, both take the reader on similar journeys. Both are similarly violent and disturbing. Both have world-altering stakes and a cast of sympathetic  read more

Utilise. Both Girls' Last Tour and The Promised Neverland feature young people having to make use of what is left for them as a handicapped member of the world they are in. Girls' Last Tour is Chito and Yuuri's life after war destroying society, TPN is the Grace House Children trying to set out for a better life away from the world the demons dominate in. Both are great manga with TPN being psychological, for the shounen demographic. Girls' Last Tour having healing elements to it, which makes for a more optimistic story in the worse of times.

One way to view similarities between both mangas: they are both about kids dealing with non-human creatures that want to eat them. Another (more interesting) way to view similarities: both stories are about cattle trying to scape from their respective factories.

Both can be said to tackle the theme of vegetarianism in an interesting way, as one portrays a situation where animals decide to leave the earth - abandoning the cruel humanity, and the other portrays a situation where humanity itself is put in the role of "animals" breeded for consumption.

Kids wearing white clothes live in a special orphanage. Neverland's first arc was surely more intense and mysterious, and the plot itself is more serious and "epic", however for me Tengoku Daimakyou is better because the narrative feels more honest and trying less to surprise you or make you shocked, it's just slowly telling an interesting story, the intrigue part is not so menacing but instead seemingly has more aspects than Yakusoku no Neverland

It's clear that The Promised Neverland was inspired a lot by Narutaru. Both, first of all, contain children, with a cute artstyle dealing with many hardships, including gore. Both deal with psychology and characters. They both share the theme of children v.s adults. Both contain a lot of politics, and war themes. While Narutaru is much darker and contains a lot of philosophy, YNN can be considered as a light version of Narutaru for younger readers, with a more understandable politics, less gore and less philosophy and psychology.

- Both titles are about children trying to escape from a place and gain their freedom - The kids in both series have an unusual high iq for the age they are - Even though both series include children these are far from what you could call family friendly. They both have pretty dark themes that would not fit well with young people

Both feature humanity as a somewhat underdog to stronger beings , and feature characters that have gone through extreme loss ; through the deaths of those close to them.Both of the main characters have a similar drive to regain comrades from opposing forces.They are both reads that initiate a strong empathy link between the reader and the characters , making their experiences all the more painful. Both manga are gory reads and feature unique artwork , especially regarding character reactions and expressions. Neither are to be missed.~

While the two works are quite different from each other, both at the same time share some common themes, mostly: the division of a human society and a demonic society with a child protagonist. The Promised Neverland is not as minimalistic as Totsukuni-no-Shoujo, but I found both to be excelent narratives that explore such a concept.

-In both stories our protagonists want to flee, but the way out is harder, than they think. -the world outside is diffrent/scary/weird -both have female MCs, who want everybody to survive -both seem harmless, but are actually kind dark -both are alot of fun to read -both have mystery-elements Deguchi Zero has a diffrent concept overall, but you might enjoy it, if you liked The Promised Neverland ^^.
