Oh wow great volume! Action, funny scenes, emotions and dark secrets... I wonder what is going on with that Adam and Eva things.. and what is the Angel doing there in NERV headquarters. ..and about Shinji's mother. ..And finally what did Shinji see when he was a child?
As much as mad scientist parent cliche got old, I can't help but love this kind of stories!
My only complaint is the interrupted Shinji&Asuka kiss (which was awesome in anime! )

this series tackled a bit more of Misato's past and her complex relationship with her father. in a Freudian lens, her attachment manifests in her gravitation towards Kaji. furthermore, this volume revealed the inner workings of NERV. there's a scene that takes place in an aquarium where Kaji reveals to Shinji (after his stumbling on Adam), the link between NERV and SEELE and underscoring Gendo as morally ambiguous. I loved the foreshadowing and subtle hints dropped throughout the volume on Rei's character. Shinji constantly reflects on their relationship and describes it as a connection of souls. the anticipated disclosure of Ayanami's true identity makes even more sense when we realize it was the reason why their two Evas were coordinating so well.
