Title: Neon Genesis Evangelion: The Shinji Ikari Raising Project 1
Series: Neon Genesis Evangelion: The Shinji Ikari Raising Project - 1st volume
Author: Osamu Takahashi
Read Before: no
My Comments: Another spin-off/alternate take (?) of the Evangelion universe, and more interesting that I initially anticipated. The first few chapters (and most of the volume) felt very normal, it was only near the end where the experiments are being teased. Nothing is explained other than Rei is involved with the experiments at the lab and Shinji just got involved. I liked the interactions between the characters, and the situations Shinji gets himself in was funny (although it felt too much like a manga in which the focus was the love triangle of the characters, who goes to high school, and one of them’s a tsundere). I enjoyed it a lot, but seriously, the clumsiness and knack for getting into awkward situations is probably just a tiny bit unoriginal.
