Synopsis

In 1999, a meteorite crashed into Antarctica. The impact melted the continental ice mass and drastically raised sea levels, damaging the world's climate and causing the deaths of over half its population. Now in 2015, devastating creatures of unknown origin—referred to as Angels—ravage what remains of the planet.

In the heavily fortified city of Tokyo-3, 14-year-old Shinji Ikari is destined to halt the Angels' onslaught. Recruited by his father's secret organization, NERV, Shinji is enlisted as a pilot of an Evangelion, a massive bioorganic android created solely to defeat the Angels.

Suddenly with the weight of the world upon his shoulders, Shinji must find the courage and drive to stand up for the future—and himself. But as skirmishes between the Evangelions and Angels become recurrent, the horrifying truth of the world is slowly revealed.

Background

Shinseiki Evangelion was initially serialized in Shounen Ace but moved to Young Ace on July 7, 2009. Although it was set to be released just shortly before the anime series began airing, production delays pushed the anime's airing date to 10 months later.

The series was published in English as Neon Genesis Evangelion by VIZ Media from December 1998 to May 2003 for seven volumes. The publisher rereleased the manga under the Action imprint from February 25, 2004, to February 10, 2015, and in 3-in-1 omnibus volumes from November 13, 2012, to June 14, 2016. It was also released in Spanish by Norma Editorial from May 2003 to January 2015; in Brazilian Portuguese by Editora JBC from November 2001 to December 2014; and in Italian by Panini Comics from October 18, 2001, to November 22, 2014.

It has slight changes that gradually make it different from the anime, and I must say that personally I liked this manga more than the anime. I swear that things are much better here. It's one of the best of all time, a manga that left a mark on me and surely on many others, as it deals with many psychological issues, especially abandonment. Is there anything else to say? Good artwork, an incredible story that has everything, colossal angels vs. humanity, Shinji, get in the fucking EVA and kill them all. Nah, it's a work of art. Stop reading this review and start reading ...

i have now officially completed evangelion in all mediums and i have to say this is one of my favorite ones , coming second only to 3.0+1.0 because of the feeling of closure that film gave me but who knows, maybe after some time, this might surpass it . Honestly, i would rate this above the anime. I think the manga is superior to the anime because in the anime, one of my biggest problems was the relationship between the characters, especially shinji-rei. (i also ship them over shinji-asuka. rei for the win) because there would be moments between them and you would feel that ...

The art is beautiful, nothing too much but it is charismatic. But when it comes to fights, I can't understand anything. The script is so confusing and boring that even watching the anime and reading the manga I still don't understand anything. Why is this? There is no such thing as coming up with theory and having to watch video, a work must be direct and objective. The characters are very one-sided. Rei is an empty shell with no feelings, Asuka is boring and spoiled, her father is absent. The only source of the 5 points I gave to this manga was Shinji. I think ...
