Neon Genesis Evangelion: The Shinji Ikari Raising Project #8
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeVolume 8 of the alternate-universe comedy-manga series that reimagines the Evangelion cast in a lighthearted, school-life setting. This volume continues Shinji Ikari's romantic misadventures and the escalating competition between Asuka Langley Soryu and Rei Ayanami, while also introducing new complications involving Gendo Ikari's mysterious projects and the arrival of Kyoko Zeppelin Soryu. The story balances slapstick humor with character-driven moments, staying true to the series' playful departure from the original anime's tone.
In "Stage 44," Shinji, Rei, Asuka, and Mana are put to the test in a seemingly simple school pool cleanup—except their teamwork is thrown into chaos by Mana’s unrelenting flirtation with Shinji, sparking a fiery reaction from Asuka. Written by Osamu Takahashi, Michael Gombos, and Carl Gustav Horn, with art and inks by Takahashi, and letters by John Clark, this issue captures the quiet tension and awkward dynamics beneath the surface of a routine task. The cover, also by Osamu Takahashi, presents a sharp, stylized glimpse into the moment’s escalating friction.
In "Extra Stage," Shinji, Rei, Asuka, and Mana are tasked with cleaning the school pool as a teamwork exercise—until Mana’s constant flirtation with Shinji ignites a spark of tension that quickly escalates into a full-blown rivalry with Asuka. The quiet routine of scrubbing tiles gives way to playful jabs and simmering friction, testing their ability to work together under pressure.
