The Promised Neverland is a hugely popular series currently being serialized in Weekly Shonen Jump. The story revolves around children growing up in an orphanage who discover they are being raised to feed demons, and so they attempt to escape to the human world. The anime adaptation has finally started! It's incredibly entertaining, and the direction is incredibly solid! Among the main characters, we'd like to introduce you to Norman, who truly demonstrates his genius.

Who is the genius Norman?

Emma, Norman, and Ray all achieved perfect scores on the GF Farm tests. Among them, Norman is the most intelligent. He is 11 years old at the beginning of the story. He has a kind personality and is sometimes envious of Emma's. Norman has an identification number, 22194, tattooed on the back of his neck. Until the incident with Connie, Norman and his family at the orphanage seemed to be looking forward to being picked up from the outside world. However, after learning of their situation, he uses all his intelligence to try and escape.

Norman has stated that he loves Emma. Whether it's familial love or romantic feelings is unclear, but he seems to care deeply for her. Emma has expressed her desire to escape with everyone, and Norman, thinking of her, says he wants to build a sinking ship, even if it's somewhat risky. Incidentally, it's unclear how Emma feels about Norman, and while she values him as family, it's unclear whether she has any special feelings for him. Perhaps there will be some developments when Norman reappears in the future!

Norman agreed with Emma's desire to save everyone because he loved her and wanted it to be that way. However, after making a deal with Ray, he decided to abandon some of the others.
