Neon Genesis Evangelion, Vol. 2

Summary: C'mon Shinji, take that prozac
Review: What's there to say, Shinji just isn't having the best of luck. The 2nd addition to the much loved Neon Genesis Evangelion gives us some humor and some more hardcore EVA/Angel fighting. It's Shinji's first day in his new school, and someone's already looking for trouble. Misato kicks back a few cold ones about when, every day? To Shinji's suprise she has a full refrigerator just full of beer! Pen-Pen and Shinji still have to do some bird/boy bonding, and stealing the jerky doesn't help. Shinji continues training in EVA-01 and wages battle with the one wierd Angel, while Touji and Aida come along for the ride, and then, whoopsies!, the power cord gets sliced. Can Shinji save the day again? Shinji then decides to jump ship on Nerv. Misato, now's your time. In this book we see the compassionate side of Misato, as well as Shinji's utter lack of self confidence. The emotions just shown with facial expressions is incredible. I fell in love withthe art as soon as I saw it. What I think was one of the most important parts of the book was just one sentence. Through Ritsuko, we actually see just how cold Gendo Ikari really is. See if you can find it. A must-have addition to any manga or anime fan's collection.
