Neon Genesis Evangelion: The Shinji Ikari Raising Project Omnibus Series

In Book Three, Shinji, Rei, and Asuka at last begin to train as a team for real combat, weapons 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! And even as the lab deals with the fallout of the Jet Alone affair, can they stand the stress of a relaxing game of company baseball with Gendo…?

Book Two introduces Mana Kirishima, the mysterious transfer student who might be more capable than even Rei and Asuka…and who’s definitely more capable when it comes to making moves on Shinji! The four of them will get a chance to show their elders what they can do (and hopefully not kill each other in the process) when Yui takes them all on a field trip to a facility run by her greatest rival from school¬–to see Japan’s newest, nuclear-powered giant robot! What could possibly go wrong?
