Story
All right, for the people who has already watched the original N.G.E, I have to tell you, the story isn't that great. Its the type of plots where the protagonist and his friend have to fight the antagonists in their school uniforms. Basically, the ANGELS are invading the earth and there has to be a counteract against it, so teenage students are given the job of exterminating them. They are Asuka, Rei, Shinji, and pretty boy Kaworu. Sounds like the original anime/manga eh? But the thing is, they fight with weapons in their school uniforms instead of huge gigantic robots. The story is enough to keep you entertained. I give it a 7/10 (Good)
Art
I must say, I enjoyed the art. Everyone looks so much sexier, especially Rei (in my opinion). Shinji also looks more handsome. Excuse me, everyone looks a whole lot better. My point being, the art is something to look forward to. 10/10 (Great) For those of you who already read the manga and is reading my review, I give the art a 10 probably because I am comparing it to the original. It really is THAT much better.
Character
FINALLY!!! Let me tell you guys this. In the original N.G.E, Shinji was the biggest crybaby retard I HAVE EVER SEEN. Everytime I saw this guy saying "No No I dont wantz 2 do it bcuz I am too short and am i am a poosy," I wanted to deck this guy in the face. I mean, he has everything right; big gigantic robot with a cool suit. But here, he has a HANDGUN. A MOTHERFCKIN HANDGUN. He looks so good with that, especially with the help of the great art. He is NOT that big of a crybaby in this manga, so you will like Shinji A LOT better. As for everyone else, Rei opens up and starts to actually have feelings for Shinji, Asuka is a tsundere to Shinji, and Kaworu is gay for Shinji and vice versa. 8/10 (Very Good)
Enjoyment
Honestly, the scanlators took too long to scanlate this, so it took me about like 4 months to actually finish reading the whole manga. I dont blame them; they have their own lives too. Im just saying that the big gap had an impact on my interest for this manga. But when I originally read it, I was so excited. So I give this a 8/10 (Very Good)
Overall
Overall, this manga is probably going to be more enjoyable to those who already watched the original NGE. Youre going to see a lot of familiarities between them, and I found that to be pretty cool. There are also many new characters in this manga, like a cute little girl who likes Shinji and her brother who hates Shinji. That guy is quite the player here. Anyway, this manga would probably take a good 45 minutes to finish (on average).
