Neon Genesis Evangelion 3-in-1 Edition, Vol. 3: Includes vols. 7, 8 & 9

One of the joys of reading Sadamoto-san's manga take on Evangelion is spotting the subtle differences between it and the TV series - they're subtle, blink and you'll miss 'em moments, but the best help unfurl the Eva mythos just that little bit more. Tantalising morsels of information to keep the longtime fans going, ruminating over and over in their heads to what it really all means.There's plenty of drama going on in this - the third of Viz's gorgeous collected editions. Presented in the slightly larger format, Sadamoto's character art positively leaps out of the pages - crisp lines and wonderful expressions bringing out another of the real joys present in this reworking - the arguably 'softer' takes on both Rei and Asuka. Here, while they are still very much the characters we know and love from the TV show, we are offered a slightly more 'human' Rei, and a more relatable Asuka. In both instances, the manic-ness of the anime versions is wheeled back in favour of something more akin to real-world teens. If anything, it's easier than ever to see through their eyes now.Also - for Kaoru fans - he's introduced far earlier in the manga than he is in the anime, leading to all manner of shower-scene antics with Shinji. As you'd expect.

Loving the story thus far , its getting really interesting the art is great as always can't wait to see what happens.

For some reason this volume is so out of print it's insane! It went back in stock two days ago and it's all gone again! I luckily managed to pick up a copy, came in good condition too. I absolutely recommend this :DD

If you're not a fan of the series, than this mange probably won't win you over either. It expands and goes much deeper in detail into the psychology behind the Evangelion series, as well as explaining Rei (especially in this manga) presenting her as a much more likable and humane character compared to her TV counterpart which is much more mysterious. This mange literally had me hoping things would work out between Shinji and Rei. In the TV series I honestly didn't care as much for their relationship. Much much more chatacter development presented in the manga.

It is a really nice print. The book and pages are bigger than a traditional manga book, making it easier to read.The colored art is just amazing!

Recommended for any fans of the series. Great price for great quality of a great series!
