Neon Genesis Evangelion: The Shinji Ikari Raising Project, Vol. 2 – Manga (English)

The Shinji Ikari Raising Project is an alternate version of the Evangelion world, where the iconic characters live in a much lighter, school-based reality. The second volume further develops the relationships between Shinji, Asuka, and Rei, weaving humor, romance, and playful adventure into the Evangelion universe.

🔸 Plot: Shinji struggles to adjust to everyday life at the NERV-run academy, where instead of dangerous EVA battles, he is faced with the oddities of his classmates, love triangles, and secret experiments. Rei and Asuka begin to show their feelings more openly, and Misato oversees this entire "education project" with her characteristic chaos. Meanwhile, hints of greater secrets begin to surface - perhaps even the true nature of this world.

🔸 Genre: School romantic comedy, alternate reality, slice of life, light drama, shounen.

🔸 Creative team: Osamu Takahashi (illustrations), Khara and Gainax (original idea). The project is designed for Evangelion fans who want to look at the characters from a more fun, warmer perspective.

🔸 Style: Bright, playful, and emotional. The drawing style is cleaner and softer than in the original Evangelion manga series - more in line with the slice of life tone, but the characters retain recognizable traits.

Shinji Ikari Raising Project is a great choice for Evangelion fans in Lithuania who are looking for a lighter, comedic tone, but want to stay in the same world of their beloved characters. The manga is in English, ideal for a collection or light reading.

Condition: Very good
