Book Review: Neon Genesis Evangelion Volume 13


Review:  #740
Title:  Neon Genesis Evangelion Volume 13
Series:  Neon Genesis Evangelion - 13th volume
Author:  Yoshiyuki Sadamoto
Read Before:  no
Comments:  Rapidly approaching the conclusion, Volume 13 depicts Shinji and Asuka desperately fighting other Evas to survive.  On the other hand, Gendo and Rei head towards Adam for the final part of their plans.  It takes a dive into the weird and unknown as the finale starts to unfold.  With further sacrifices being made, the unusual beings that start to appear is confusing since you’re not sure what it is supposed to represent, and why it had started acting this way.  What is made clear though, is that Shinji’s mother, Yui, is very much involved in all of the events and the motivation for a lot of the characters.  The pacing was quick and while it was hard to make out what was happening during some of the battles, this is an excellent volume.
Rating:  7.5/10
