Neon Genesis Evangelion, Vol. 10 by Yoshiyuki Sadamoto
4.0
4.0 stars
this volume left an indelible mark on me. it marks a significant point where the narrative undergoes a jarring metamorphosis into the darker realm. with every preceding volume, i question the depths of this series' bleakness, yet it consistently manages to surpass all expectations in its unyielding strangeness. i feel so sorry for Rei, being on the precipice of self-discovery and meeting a tragic fate.
moreover, the "romance" between Kaoru and Shinji is seen so lightly despite its despairing depth. it's an exploration of yearning and loneliness. Kaoru, despite being an 'angel'—an entity typically revered as being superior to humanity—harbors envy for Rei, thereby revealing the irony behind his character. he represents a longing for the very emotions that come naturally to the flawed human existence; to him, these emotions are akin to divinity.
