Manga/Graphic Novels Starting With 'E'

Neon Genesis Evangelion: Angelic Days is a re-imagining of the anime where choosing the right girl may be more important than saving the world! Shinji, Askua, and Rei are enrolled in a special high school that will train them to become Eva pilots. But Angelic Days has a lot more to do with the daily struggles of high school than monsters from outer space.

Abandoned by his own mother, middle-school student Gendo Rokubungi has grown to hate the world and everything in it. But two very different individuals see something in Gendo that's worth saving: Yui Ikari, the student council president who hides her loneliness behind a smile, and a charming new transfer student who can see into the heart of whomever he meets... A student named Kaworu Nagisa.

Shinji Ikari's parents are gone, and he lives with his legal guardian, Ryoji Kaji, while attending the private NERV Academy. But no one ever told Shinji about its secrets... or that he'd find his fellow students Kaworu, Rei, and Asuka out on the streets late at night - fighting with sword, spear, and whip against an enemy that looks very human, but who Kaworu insists are beings called the Angels...

Now that he's received his Eva, Shinji Ikari commits himself to doing battle with the Angels terrorizing the NERV Foundation Academy. However, when he finds out what's going on between Kaworu and Rei, Shinji begins to feel nagging doubts about truths, facts, relationships... even his own existence! Is he a burden to his teachers, friends, and family, or does he have a greater destiny?

Accompanied by his high-strung "frenemy" Asuka Langley, Shinji sets out to locate Misato Katsuragi. On a journey through the underground tunnel beneath the school abbey, Shinji sees something that shouldn't - couldn't - exist! Suddenly, before his eyes, the sinister role played by Shinji's father Gendo in the whole conspiracy becomes shockingly clear!

Shinji Ikari remembers having met the charming, mysterious Kaworu during childhood, but that's not all - Kaworu has more shocking truths to share about Shinji's own father, Gendo! Shinji and Kaworu, along with their friends Asuka and Rei, must do battle to put an end to Gendo's crazed rampage. Can four teenagers put a stop to the destruction of the Y'ggdrasil, the Life-Tree, the pillar sustaining our dimension and reality? The ultimate fight is on!

Stunning, hotheaded Asuka Langley Soryu has been friends with Shinji Ikari since they were little. And she always sort of assumed they'd stay together - until the day the beautiful, brilliant Rei Ayanami showed up in class! When Shinji starts to get curious about Rei, Asuka needs to figure out if she wants to be just friends with Shinji, or something more. But why are so many people keeping an eye on these relationships?

Don't say "crazy"! The campus culture festival is coming up for the students of Class 2-A, and in manga these days that means not only cosplay, but starting an all-girl band! But what are they supposed to do about the fact that the keyboardist, Shinji, isn't, um, a girl? Well, that's when it's time for a little crossplay!

Of all the unbelievable things that have happened, perhaps the most shocking is that Yui has finally managed to dig Kyoko out from her laboratory to join the crew on a forest retreat! Asuka and Shinji are bound to get close by accident, but wait - are they actually getting closer...? Then it's back to target training for the students, but this time the arena is their school, and this time the targets are shooting back!

By now, Shinji, Rei, and Asuka think they know the drill... but they don't know this one - namely, the giant drill coming down from the even more gigantic eight-sided... thingie... hanging over the streets of the virtual Tokyo-3! Who's behind this new menace? Dr. Akagi? Her daughter? Or the man who fascinates them both? Heck, who fascinates everyone.

Even as Gendo plots to submit his entire staff to aerobics training, the sinister SEELE has sent Kaworu Nagisa to sabotage Gendo and Yui's more private objectives... which means he's soon enrolling in Shinji's class! Such a pretty boy starts turning heads inside homeroom 2-A - even Shinji's - which causes Rei and Asuka to agree to join forces, on the grounds that Kaworu's presence could cause trouble for NERV. The irony is that, even if that's just their excuse - they're right!

Now, it's important for a father to participate when it's time for a parent-teacher conference, but you're still going to feel a little nervous as the student - or, if your father's name is Gendo Ikari, a lot nervous! While Shinji's girl troubles continue to be a public spectacle, Kaworu and Ritsuko are going behind his back... straight to SEELE.
