Neon Genesis Evangelion 3-in-1 Edition, Vol. 1


Synopsis


Once Shinji didn't care about anything; then he found people to fight for-only to learn that he couldn't protect them, or keep those he let into his heart from going away. As mankind tilts on the brink of the apocalyptic Third Impact, human feelings are fault lines leading to destruction and just maybe, redemption and rebirth.

Yoshiyuki Sadamoto
