Neon Genesis Evangelion - Volume 5 (Paperback, 2nd Edition)

Books based on the landmark animated series that redefined the mecha genre. Japan's most controversial anime series is over...but not the manga version of Neon Genesis Evangelion! Series co-creator Yoshiyuki Sadamoto's personal interpretation of the Evangelion characters and story is sure to intrigue new and old fans alike. In 2015, the "Angels" have returned, and Shinji Ikari, a fourteen year-old child of the new Earth, is forced by his father Gendo--commander of the secret organization NERV--to pilot the monstrous biomechanical weapon called "Evangelion" to match the Angels' fearsome power... Asuka moves in with Shinji, yet despises him for the offense of not being Misato's old flame, the tall, dark, and handsome Ryoki Kaji. The quiet Rei would seem closer to Shinji--but her true attraction is also to someone most inappropriate... Eva Vol. 5 contains a Japanese sound FX glossary plus Part I of a special bonus dossier on the mysterious and occult sources of the Evangelion story!
