Let me go, for the day breaketh Japan's most controversial anime series is over...but not the manga version of Neon Genesis Evangelion! Series co-creator Yoshiyuki Sadamoto's personal interpretation of the Evangelion characters and story is sure to intrigue new and old fans alike. In 2015, the "Angels" have returned, and Shinji Ikari, a fourteen year-old child of the new Earth, is forced by his father Gendo-commander of the secret organization NERV-to pilot the monstrous biomechanical weapon called "Evangelion" to match the Angels' fearsome power... Double agent Kaji has revealed to Shinji the terrible knowledge Gendo and his erstwhile secret masters have long possessed-and awakened Shinji's memory of the price his mother paid to create the Evangelion. Now the next sacrifice demanded to the program is Shinji's best friend...One of the founding members of Gainax, Japan's most progressive anime studio, Evangelion's Yoshiyuki Sadamoto was also the character designer for their recent Adult Swim smash FLCL. NGE Vol. 6 contains a Japanese sound FX glossary plus Part II of a special bonus dossier on the mysterious and occult sources of the Evangelion story!
