Like over 10 years ago now the Neon Genesis Evangelion movies are what got me into anime, the medium that fundamentally formed my teen years and for that alone the series will forever have a special place in my heart. So it's very fortunate that it's also just straight up amazing. Kind of a crime it took me so long to start reading the manga but here we are.

I just wanted to hear those words... from him.

Four stars out of nostalgia, mostly, since I watched the anime ages ago. But I'd give this three stars, since I only read it as part of the Read Harder Challenge; and then two because it has many volumes and I feel the obligation to finish them somehow, which means I'll be reading these for the next five years, at least.
Damned challenge.

*3.5 stars*
Nothing much to say really, it wasn't anything I hadn't seen in the show before but still enjoyable to relive, and I'm going to continue!
