Story and art by Osamu Takahashi.

Stunning, hotheaded Asuka Langley Soryu has been friends with Shinji Ikari since they were little. And she always sort of assumed they'd stay together-until the day the beautiful, brilliant Rei Ayanami showed up in class!

When Shinji starts to get curious about Rei, Asuka needs to figure out if she wants to be just friends with Shinji, or something more. But why are so many people keeping an eye on these relationships-people like homeroom teacher Misato, school nurse Ritsuko, and Shinji's mother-NERV's chief scientist, Yui Ikari . . . ?

Book Two introduces Mana Kirishima, the mysterious transfer student who might be more capable than even Rei and Asuka . . . and who's definitely more capable when it comes to making moves on Shinji!

The four of them will get a chance to show their elders what they can do (and hopefully not kill each other in the process) when Yui takes them all on a field trip to a facility run by her greatest rival from school-to see Japan's newest, nuclear-powered giant robot! What could possibly go wrong?

In Book Three, Shinji, Rei, and Asuka at last begin to train as a team for real combat, weapons in hand . . . stalking a giant gelatinous creature with a spherical "core" they must take out.

If this kind of mission sounds strangely familiar, you're right-but if things go as usual, it's poor Shinji who'll get called the slimeball! And even as the lab deals with the fallout of the Jet Alone affair, can they stand the stress of a relaxing game of company baseball with Gendo . . .? Contains bonus color pages!
