Neon Genesis Evangelion: The Shinji Ikari Raising Project Series by Osamu Takahashi, John Clark, Khara

Stunning, hot-headed 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... moreStunning, hot-headed 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 . . . ? less

Even as Gendo plots to submit his entire staff to aerobics training, the sinister SEELE has sent Kaworu Nagisa to sabotage Gendo and Yui's more private objectives... which means he's soon enrolling in Shinji's class! Such a pretty boy starts turning heads inside homeroom 2-A, even Shinji's - which causes Rei and Asuka to agree to join forces, on the grounds that Kaworu's presence could cause trouble for NERV. The irony is that, even if that's just their excuse, they're right!

Now, it's important for a father to participate when it's time for a parent-teacher conference, but you're still going to feel a little nervous as the student - or, if your father's name is Gendo Ikari, a lot nervous! While Shinji's girl troubles continue to be a public spectacle, Kaworu and Ritsuko are going behind his back... straight to SEELE. Love, comedy, and mystery continue in Volume 3!

Despite the way "baka Shinji" makes them boil, Asuka didn't get her brains out of a gachapon machine, but from her mother, the brilliant but absent Dr. Kyoko Soryu. There could probably be less embarrassing places for a family reunion than at a drunken cherry- blossom-viewing party - but unfortunately, Asuka isn't picking the occasion!

Shinji and Rei enter the plugs side by side for their new synchro test, where Rei is given the task to find her way out of an imaginary cityscape, and Shinji is given the job of helping her concentrate - but how likely is that, with all the chaos happening in their personal lives, a chaos everyone seems eager to encourage? Volume 5 includes your fan art, letters, and special giveaways - plus, an exclusive preview of the brand-new Evangelion manga title starting in August from Dark Horse: Neon... moreShinji and Rei enter the plugs side by side for their new synchro test, where Rei is given the task to find her way out of an imaginary cityscape, and Shinji is given the job of helping her concentrate - but how likely is that, with all the chaos happening in their personal lives, a chaos everyone seems eager to encourage?

Shinji is never quite sure whether he's in a relationship or just some sort of bizarre lab experiment, and he probably didn't need yet another cute, mysterious individual to arrive in his homeroom. But that's just what he's going to get in the person of Mana Kirishima. Will she prove to be a girlfriend of steel... or more of an iron maiden?

You didn't really think all this raising being inflicted on Shinji by his parents and guardian was without constructive purpose, did you... a purpose, perhaps, related to giant robotlike things? As Yui deals with the fallout from the Jet Alone affair, her son tries to mind his own affairs... but usually just ends up falling.

Take me out to the brawl game! Gendo's latest scheme for fatherly bonding should have seen another draft before putting baseball bats in the hands of his employees. Then, a mysterious hack into the MAGI system brings out all the brilliant mothers in force: not only Shinji's and Asuka's, but also the system's creator...Ritsuko's mom, Naoko Akagi!* Includes your fan art, letters, and special giveaways!* Bonus color pages begin each volume.

Face the thing that should not be! At last, Shinji, Rei, and Asuka are being trained for actual combat, gats 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!

Don''t say "crazy" The campus culture festival is coming up for the students of Class 2-A, and in manga these days that means not only cosplay, but starting an all-girl band But what are they supposed to do about the fact that the keyboardist, Shinji, isn''t, um, a girl? Well, that''s when it''s time for a little crossplay Plus, a special bonus 4-koma (four panel gag strip) feature

Asuka and Shinji are bound to get close by accident, but wait — are they actually getting closer? Then it's back to target training for the students but this time the arena is their school, and the targets are shooting back! less

An alternate take on the famous series! By now, Shinji, Rei, and Asuka thought they knew the drill, but they don't know this one — namely, the giant drill coming down from the even more gigantic eight sided . . . thingie . . . hanging over the streets of the virtual Tokyo-3! Who's behind this new menace — Doctor Akagi, her daughter, or the man who fascinates them both? Heck, who fascinates everyone!

High intelligence and low wisdom--that's how they roll deep inside the Artificial Evolution Research Center, and no section is deeper than the one in which Asuka's brilliant but flaky mother Kyoko resides. Surely she didn't spend all those years in graduate computer science just to open up a maid cafe? You might think, but remember--she's smarter than you.

If Rei and Asuka fear they're never going to get anywhere with Shinji...why not cut out the middleman? Cast as star-crossed lovers in the school play, the two girls are going to share a kiss on stage in front of the entire school, but is it really just an act? That which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet!Khara, Inc. is a Japanese animation studio best known for its work on the Rebuild of Evangelion film tetralogy.
