Neon Genesis Evangelion, Vol. 2 by Yoshiyuki SadamotoMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
Shinji Ikari continues to adjust to piloting the Evangelion and his new living arrangements with Captain Katsuragi. Will the lack of approval from his father cause Ikari to run away from his responsibilities?
Yeah, I don't know if I'm in for the long haul on this. The Angels are a suitable foe and the Evangelion armor is pretty cool. I liked the battle quite a bit but Ikari is a little too mopey for my taste.
The art is still great. My favorite parts of this are the supporting cast. Captain Katsuragi is the most interesting character in the book and Ikari's new friends have potential. Pen-pen, the mutant penguin, kind of cuts into the seriousness of the situation.
I've got two more volumes of Neon Genesis Evangelion on the pile. I don't know that I'll continue the series after that unless Ikari has an attitude adjustment. Three out of five stars.
