The essence of the Second Child, Soryu Asuka Langley, is pride in being an Evangelion pilot. Shinji finds a new comrade in the strange and beautiful Kaworu Nagisa who has been sent directly by SEELE, which alone knows his real name, Tabris, the Angel of Free Will.
Man, this isnโt the same Kaworu from the anime at all
Iโm very happy this manga was able to realize Annoโs original vision to have Toji killed off. Makes for a much more impactful narrative
Art is still fantastic BUT Shinji has been replaced by a lookalike named Shaun. This is not the same character in the show. Shaun is a lot more outspoken, quippy, and outright petulant at times. Heโs annoying and I donโt enjoy him, and I really hope people donโt read this first before watching the actual show, because what ab awful first impression
Art is gorgeous and apart from one odd extra bit of dialogue from Misato, the story itself is unchanged so far.
Series read. Never finished the full run before. Just an incredible work, in both mediums.
