Neon Genesis Evangelion: The Shinji Ikari Raising Project, Vol. 14

Neon Genesis Evangelion: The Shinji Ikari Raising Project is a nice little slice of life manga featuring the characters from Neon Genesis Evangelion. Living regular lives and by that I mean living every single slice of life anime trope. We're reaching the endgame where Shinji is going to pick best girl. Asuka continues to keep on winning from here series of wins starting from volume 12. This volume is no exception the end is near with four more volumes. Will we finally have a winner? We also see the character growth of our cast continue as we reach the end. Lemme just tell if there was any anime cast in need of a break its this one. We're in the endgame now.

Love it

Honestly it's well written and i am an avid Evangelion fan. I like this series because it is the alternate reality that was hinted at in the original tv series. I am disappointed that the story hasn't changed since book 8 or 9. There are new antics but i am getting bored with the books. This one had the same plot as books 8-13. Nothing has changed and the author Takahashi needs to make some moves regarding relationship development. The book is good but it is not as good as the earlier books. I hope in the future things get going. Only get this if you are an avid fan but otherwise wait until the story develops more before buying this.

I have a very complicated relationship with this series. When it first came out I was excited, a new series that portrayed Rei in a way that made her likable and would basically avoid where Angelic Days went wrong. So I began collecting volumes until around volume 7 when I realized that they were all basically the same. Shinji and friends get into some wacky adventures, something ecchi happens (OMG!) and then they call it a day. That was it. Frustrated, I stopped buying the volumes and waited patiently for a volume with an actual story, but eventually I forgot the series entirely until I happened to run across this one at work. After reading through it, I could not believe that it was the exact same formula as the other seven volumes! I can't possibly understand what readers are getting out of this! It's like fan fiction! That story hasn't developed, relationships are hinted at but never acted upon, and the embarrassing scenes are beyond tacky. It's almost as if the author doesn't care anymore, and keeps pumping out volumes for whatever money can be made. I understand why Takahashi is doing it, really I do! By keeping Shinji away from any concrete romantic relationship with either heroine, you avoid alienating half your audience, but fourteen volumes of the same stuff is beyond insulting to the reader. I even clicked on Volume 15, to see if there is any description of the plot planned, but nothing. I would laugh if it wasn't so sad. My advice? Stop buying until Takahashi starts to treat readers with the respect they deserve.

I have been an Evangelion fan for quite some time now, and I've been trying to catch with this series for some time. So, what do I have to say after reading the first fifteen books; it's okay.STORYThe story is quite simple, as this a comedy of some sorts. It's nothing stellar that many Evangelion fans have come to expect at this point, but it is still entertaining to see what situation Shinji gets himself into. Considering that this is set in the alternate reality in episode 26 of the original Evangelion series, Neon Genesis Evangelion, some fans may find some minor differences to that reality. But none the less the setting is still a good one and works well with the basis of the series.CHARACTERSWhile a lot of the characters will be the more or less the same as we already know them there are some that might act differently; the biggest difference being how Gendo acts. In the anime he is a cold, heartless, farther, but in this series he is a loving farther that can sometimes be a bit too supportive of Shinji and is an outright idiot a lot of the time. This isn't a bad thing because the setting is different from the Evangelion anime, so it makes sense for characters to act a little different and it is enjoyable to read how the characters will act in a world that isn't surrounded by death.ARTThe art style used for this manga series isn't too far off the art style that some fans might be used to seeing. There are times when it is noticeable that the art is different than how some fans might prefer a character to look, but they are still recognisable as the characters we all know and love. Though there is one thing I'm a little disappointed with, and that is the amount of fan service. I didn't mind a little bit here and there in the beginning, but around volume 6-10 the fan service starts to get a little too much for my liking with jokes going a little too far and the fact that there is a naked girl once or twice in each volume until the current 15th. The fanservice about half way through just feels a little unnecessary.OVERALLIf you have seen anything do with Evangelion, whether it be the original series or the new movies, this is an enjoyable manga that I think Evangelion fans should check out. It's fun and filled plenty of comedy and little bits of romance to keep fan interested. This has to be the best Evangelion spin-off that any fan could read and I recommend it to fans only, as newcomer to the franchise might not get much of kick out of it to which I recommend Nisekoi for people who aren't that of a fan or not know that much about Evangelion to care enough to read this.

Even though this book was secondhand it was in very good condition, it does not look out of place with all the new copies on the bookcase.

El libro está en perfectas condiciones y la calidad del mismo es excelente, el tiempo de entrega fue el acordado y con excelente trato
