This volume has a lot more characterization for Shinji than last volume, which makes sense, as this volume adapts the chunk of the show where Shinji runs away from piloting the Eva for the first time. The volume also lays the ground work for what could () become Shinji's support group. The show paces this a little differently then the manga, but I think the story doesn't suffer from the change of pacing.
Indeed, the only change that the adaptation really suffers for is that this storyline is where we first get the use of the train-car image.
The loss of the train car sequence here kind of makes me wonder what [a:Yoshiyuki Sadamoto|164714|Yoshiyuki Sadamoto|http://d202m5krfqbpi5.cloudfront.net/authors/1274725162p2/164714.jpg] will use in its place in later volumes of the series.

Later on in the show, when Shinji is having some particularly traumatic moments, in his head he retreats to the train car from this episode, and basically hashes things out with psychological representations of other characters. This becomes even more of a thing once we get to Instrumentality at the end of the show, as was basically spend a not inconsiderate chunk of the last two episodes - in the broadcast release, and the last episode in End of Eva - in the Traincar of Therapy with Shinji trying put his thoughts on his place in the world, and his relationships with people into some resemblance of shape.The loss of the train car sequence here kind of makes me wonder what [a:Yoshiyuki Sadamoto|164714|Yoshiyuki Sadamoto|http://d202m5krfqbpi5.cloudfront.net/authors/1274725162p2/164714.jpg] will use in its place in later volumes of the series.

Really enjoying the manga so far. Feels like I'm rewatching the show somewhat, but I'm also very interested by Sadamoto's "additions" since text/paper can only tell so much versus the anime. Looking forward to how this develops and as things become crazier as NGE vets know.

Me gusta bastante que Shinji no sea el típico protagonista valiente, que su motivación por pilotear el EVA tenga que ver mas con la resignación que con el heroísmo.
Me esta gustando bastante :D

I love the manga Shinji so much. the author’s notes in the back of the manga explain how he’s supposed to be a shinji for a different, new audience and era, and although this story was written long ago, manga shinji definitely fits into the doomer pessimism of gen z’s lmao
good for him

Woha, this part has been heavy. Shinji feeling depressed (my guess) and lonely and not wanted? Yeah, heavy.
I'm glad that Misato (finally) realized that Shinji is a human being with feelings and that maybe he needs some things said out loud. *hugs him*
Not much on the plot side in this part, though, and therefore I'm not quite convinced yet.
