Neon Genesis Evangelion: The Shinji Ikari Raising Project Omnibus Volume 2

The pressure will always be on to anyone creating, a new spin on Evangelion. It's great to see these characters in roles other than "emotionally dysfunctional teens forced to pilot robots to save a world they don't care about." Yes, the manga drops most of the twisted workings of adults, overwhelming social awkwardness, and religious symbolism that the series has based its fame upon. ALSO, Since the ending of the television series presented the possibility of an alternate, semi-normal existence for the characters, this manga is a glimpse into what might have happened in such a world. Asuka and Shinji have known each other since childhood and their classmates constantly refer to them as a married couple. In this reality, Shinji's mother is stil alive and his father often hides behind a newspaper, and no one is piloting any giant robots. NERV doesn't exist yet and no angels are poised to annihilate humanity.If that's what you are looking for, you can always stick with the anime and the original manga. For those who are fine with the Evangelion cast getting a chance to live without the constant threat of apocalypse, The Shinji Ikari Raising Project is well a trip to the alternate universe.

When I bought this manga volume, I looked at the "used" section because of the amazing price. The book was shipped extremely quickly, and I received the book just as fast. I was pleasantly surprised that the book was in perfect condition. Definitively would buy from them again!!!

I like this series, it's definitely more of a fanservice but I can handle that considering the original was so dark. The art is good and the story is hilarious. I'm in love with Rei so its kind of nice to see her so filled with emotion :) The only thing I don't like is how gay they made Kaowru... he's all over Shinji and it kind of annoys me..

Volume 2 continues with the light-hearted Rom-com. You already know what you're getting into at this point and it's more of the same. Great!

evangelion got me into anime and this manga is just as good if not better then the tv show i plan on getting the rest

Very enjoyful

It was good

THIS WAS A GIFT
