The Promised Neverland is based on an old and rather popular trope. It would be like saying Squid Game is the blueprint of survival genre.
any thought about the parallel that exists between the promised never land and on going subarc of black butler?
Hey Anon!
None, because I never read or watched TPN and I don't intend to any time soon, if ever. :))
Additionally, I'm relatively against drawing parallels between series, when TPN seems at best an inspiration for Yana-sensei (like Sherlock Holmes was for the Murders at Manor arc), who's a writer known to explore widely and in depth the tropes she uses for settings (Ducky or chibi once translated a few twitter posts about this, but I can't find it right now).
Also, please remember that, aside from TPN and as I explained here, this orphanage arc mostly seems to act as a parallel and a continuation of what was introduced in the circus arc and I'd like to remind everyone that TPN was written way after Kuro's circus arc.
Lastly, I have war flashbacks of fans drawing comparisons from one series to explain or theorize about another (the whole Femtoneki horror trip from back when TG:Re was still on going and some examples in Kuro fandom as well), as if writers can't use similar tropes without this meaning they copy each other (a concept I find extremely snooty of fans). So while other fans are free to do as they please, I'd rather just read Yana's work as Yana's work, no offense!
My opinion though! As always, other people are free to do entirely as they want! :))
Have a nice day, Anon!
Abberline is literally me when I’m doing a math test and I come across on two simulare answers and start thinking which one is the right one everyone is making theories about new chapter and then there is me, making trash memes

Tysm ❤️ ❤️ I think you should include a link to link this post to your first post (and vice-versa)
finny + mey rin being determined to help out and ciel being fond over it <3
every time a cover includes cielinny i jump and cheer tbh
and yes we do post crumbs here when it comes to them
finny being jealous of snake getting to go with ciel
finny having nearly the same expression and blush as elizabeth? yeah okay yana you arent slick
more crumbs because i always enjoy finny speaking like a pal to ciel
ciel sees finny and asks "is anyone going to spoil him unconditionally?" then doesnt wait for an answer
finny sees ciel and asks "is anyone going to protect him with their life?" then doesnt wait for an answer
finny holding his hand on his knees at ciels bedside while he's sick then being the one ciel instinctively gravitates to despite being temporarily blind? yana really said "this ones for you devo"
even sieglinde can see it
and be prepared for more full page photos because the green witch arc was MADE for the cielinny shippers
i know its a ptsd episode but it means a lot to me that finny is one of the few to get to see ciel actually cry, because we know he loves him dearly and thinks the world of him so he just wants to help him
its probably no surprise this is one of my favorite covers but i love the imagery of ciel showering finny with all these good and beautiful things in his new life
literally love at first sight like the image of ciel reflected in his eyes smiling? he was enamored from the beginning
finny once again being shown that he will speak up to defend ciel from anyone, even his own insecurities
Black Butler season 5 looks nice
