Comic books in 'Romance'

Volume 2 - 2nd and later printings.

Story and art by Osamu Takahashi.

Even as Gendo plots to submit his entire staff to aerobics training, the sinister SEELE has sent Kaworu Nagisa to sabotage Gendo and Yui's more private objectives . . . which means he's soon enrolling in Shinji's class! Such a pretty boy starts turning heads inside homeroom 2-A . . . even Shinji's-which causes Rei and Asuka to agree to join forces, on the grounds that Kaworu's presence could cause trouble for NERV. The irony is that, even if that's just their excuse-they're right! Since it first hit Japanese TV screens in 1995, the multimedia Neon Genesis Evangelion phenomenon has never faded. The phenomenon has only spread further in the last decade with the North American release of the Evangelion series on DVD and its subsequent airing on Adult Swim. Each volume of Neon Genesis Evangelion features bonus color pages, your Evangelion fan art and letters, and special reader giveaways!

Now, it's important for a father to participate when it's time for a parent-teacher conference, but you're still going to feel a little nervous as the student-or, if your father's name is Gendo Ikari, a lot nervous! While Shinji's girl troubles continue to be a public spectacle, Kaworu and Ritsuko are going behind his back . . . straight to SEELE. Love, comedy, and mystery continue in volume 3.

Story and art by Osamu Takahashi.

Despite the way "Baka Shinji" makes them boil, Asuka didn't get her brains out of a gachapon machine, but from her mother, the brilliant but absent Dr. Kyoko Soryu. There could probably be less embarrassing places for a family reunion than at a drunken cherry- blossom-viewing party-but unfortunately, Asuka isn't picking the occasion!

Shinji is never quite sure whether he's in a relationship or just some sort of bizarre lab experiment, and he probably didn't need yet another cute, mysterious individual to arrive in his homeroom. But that's just what he's going to get in the person of Mana Kirishima. Will she prove to be a girlfriend of steel . . . or more of an iron maiden?

You didn't really think all this raising being inflicted on Shinji by his parents and guardian was without constructive purpose, did you . . . a purpose, perhaps, related to giant, robotlike things?
