VIZ GRAPHIC NOVEL

NEON GENESIS EVANGELION

THE BESTSELLING MANGA VERSION OF JAPAN'S MOST
CONTROVERSIAL ANIME SERIS!

Not simply a retelling of the Japanese animation series, this manga is co-creator Yoshiyuki Sadamoto's subtly diverging interpretation - sure to intrigue new and old fans alike - of the EVANGELION characters and story.

VOL. 1
The human race nearly ended with the millenium: in 2000 A.D., a top-secret encounter between an Antarctic expedition and an entity code-named the "Angel" triggered a global catastrophe. Now, in 2015, the Angels have returned, and Shinji Ikari, a fourteen-year-old child of new Earth, is summoned to the super-technological city of Tokyo-3 by his long-estranged father, the supreme commander of the clandestine United Nations research organization NERV. To match the fearsome power of the Angels, NERV has constructed a biomechanical weapon code-named "Evangelion" - a monster to be piloted by the unwitting Shinji!

One of the founding members of Gainax, Japan's most progressive anime studios, Yoshiyuki Sadamoto was the character designer and an animation director for their 1987 film, ROYAL SPACE FORCE: THE WINGS OF HONNEAMISE and their hit 1990 television show NADIA: THE SECRET OF BLUE WATER. NEON GENESIS EVANGELION is Sadamoto's first full length manga work.

NEON GENESIS EVANGELION VOL. 1 contains special bonus commentary on the series, provided by EVANGELION director Hideaki Anno and mechanical designer Ikuto Yamashita, that is not available in Viz'a monthly EVANGELION comic!

I try to maintain page numbers for audiobooks even though obviously there aren't any. I do this to keep track of pages read and I try to use the Kindle version page numbers for this.

Synopses marked with an asterisk (*) were generated by an AI. There aren't a lot since this is an iffy way to do it - AI seems to make stuff up.

When specific publication dates are unknown (ie prefixed with a "Cir"), I try to get the publication date that is closest to the specific printing that I can.

When listing chapters, I only list chapters relevant to the story. I will usually leave off Author Notes, Indices, Acknowledgements, etc unless they are relevant to the story or the book is non-fiction.

Page numbers on this site are for the end of the main story. I normally do not include appendices, extra material, and other miscellaneous stuff at the end of the book in the page count.
