Take me out to the brawl game! Gendo’s latest scheme for fatherly bonding should have seen another draft before putting baseball bats in the hands of his employees. Then, a mysterious hack into the MAGI system brings out all the brilliant mothers in force: not only Shinji’s and Asuka’s, but also the system’s creator...Ritsuko’s mom, Naoko Akagi! * Includes your fan art, letters, and special giveaways! * Bonus color pages begin each volume. * Interest in the Evangelion series is reaching new heights with the theatrical release of the Rebuild of Evangelion movies.

If Rei and Asuka fear they're never going to get anywhere with Shinji...why not cut out the middleman? Cast as star-crossed lovers in the school play, the two girls are going to share a kiss on stage in front of the entire school, but is it really just an act? That which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet! Khara, Inc. is a Japanese animation studio best known for its work on the Rebuild of Evangelion film tetralogy.

First rule of finding yourself in a hole: stop digging! Too bad Shinji can't seem to take that advice--not as long as he's in debt to the Kaji Detective Agency, while doing all the work of its lazy proprietors. And Shinji's situation just keeps getting worse, as he discovers a rivalry he didn't know he had, not to mention a past he had thought was gone years ago.

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...?

Reads from right to left in the traditional Japanese manga format.

Mokkurkalfi, Hell's mistress of machines, is the next door warden Keiichi and the goddesses must pass. With her mechanical skills, she's the natural opponent of Skuld...but unlike her, Mokkurkalfi has no love for her inventions, instead setting them against each other viciously, to retain only those strongest in battle! Will so ruthless an approach to robots be the defeat of the youngest goddess...and of them all?

Even as Gendo plots to submit his entire staff to aerobics training, the sinister SEELE has sent Kaworu Nagisa to sabotage Gendo and Yui's more private objectives... which means he's soon enrolling in Shinji's class! Such a pretty boy starts turning heads inside homeroom 2-A, even Shinji's — which causes Rei and Asuka to agree to join forces, on the grounds that Kaworu's presence could cause trouble for NERV. The irony is that, even if that's just their excuse, they're right!

The most popular Evangelion spinoff ever returns to finish the story! While a school play starring Rei and Asuka as star-crossed lovers makes some ponder just where Shinji fits in, the question of whether he can make up his mind may become moot as SEELE makes their final bid to seize the Magi System with a ruthless scheme—taking Rei’s own memories hostage! Collects Neon Genesis Evangelion—The Shinji Ikari Raising Project Volumes 16–18.

Shinji is never quite sure whether he's in a relationship or just some sort of bizarre lab experiment, and he probably didn't need yet another cute, mysterious individual to arrive in his homeroom. But that's just what he's going to get in the person of Mana Kirishima. Will she prove to be a girlfriend of steel... or more of an iron maiden?
