Book Review: Neon Genesis Evangelion Volume 8


Review:  #727
Title:  Neon Genesis Evangelion Volume 8
Series:  Neon Genesis Evangelion - 8th volume
Author:  Yoshiyuki Sadamoto
Read Before:  no
Comments:  The volume continues the trend of the story not afraid of killing off characters, especially when it spent the time showcasing their backstories and allowing the readers to sympathize and understand their motivations.  After the action packed previous volume, the politics take the forefront in this one as it becomes more and clearer on how things are intertwined.  There’re a lot of flashbacks on how things had gone to this point.  While a significant portion is taken up by Shinji spending time within the Eva and trying to get out, which felt a tad bit too long, the apparent plot progression more than made up for it.
