Neon Genesis Evangelion, Vol. 12

Books based on the landmark animated series that redefined the mecha genre. 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... Government forces directed by SEELE have penetrated NERV and are heading for the command center. Outside, Asuka hurls Unit-02 against a relentless assault by mass-produced Evas. Inside the base, Shinji confronts his father Gendo for what may be the last time and learns the terrifying truth of his father's motivations. Misato may be able to help Shinji escape momentarily, but Shinji is trapped by fate--only he can pilot Unit-01 in the climactic battle for the fate of humanity!
