I enjoyed reading this Neon Genesis Evangelion 3-in-1 Edition more than I did reading Volumes 12 and 13. My first direct experience with the franchise was reading Volume 12 of the manga last year. THE LOWDOWN: As I’ve previously noted, I knew of Neon Genesis Evangelion the anime, but had never seen it. These early stories also depict Shinji’s conflicted feelings about being an EVA pilot, but two of his classmates, Kensuke Aida and Toji Suzuhara, provide comic relief in contrast. Shinji meets 14-year-old Rei Ayanami, called the First Child because she was the first to pilot an EVA.Īfter Rei’s EVA Unit-00 is damaged, Shinji and Unit-01 have to fight the Angels. Shinji is also reunited with his estranged father, 48-year-old Gendo Ikari, who is NERV Supreme Commander. The first three volumes of the series introduce Shinji and reveal how he was brought into the EVA program by 29-year-old Misato Katsuragi, the NERV operations chief who plans EVA missions. The lead character is 14-year-old Shinji Ikari, EVA “ Unit-01” pilot. NERV created giant biomechanical units or mecha called Evangelions (also known as EVA and Evas) that are piloted by teenagers. The human side of the conflict is led by NERV, a paramilitary organization. Neon Genesis Evangelion is the story of humans at war with hostile beings called Angels. 1 reprints Neon Genesis Evangelion, Volumes 1 to 3. Neon Genesis Evangelion 3-in-1 Edition, Vol.
