It would appear that the Shinji Ikari Raising Project manga which I posted about sometime last year is still in production and had its first volume published by Kadokawa Comics on the 25th of March. Scans of the volume were made available and have been archived along with the two stages that have been translated by AT Translations, and some additional stage scans and some magazine cover scans. It might not be along the lines of the official Evangelion manga by Yoshiyuki Sadamoto, but it might still tide you over until the commercial version of volume 10 is available in English. The Shinji Ikari Raising Project manga is authored Osamu Tahashi, and is very similar in feel to the Girlfriend of Steel 2 manga authored by Fumino Hayashi, so if you’ve read a bit of that and found it enjoyable, then give the Shinji Ikari Raisin Project manga a read. It might not become commercially available, so you should read it while you have the opportunity, and possibly give it some buzz and consideration for distribution in English.
Also, I have received two donations towards the forum transfer, so I want to thank those people for their help, and say that it is a good start. I’m going to try my best to bring you guys some new content in the coming weeks, and try and get some serious work on Eva Monkey done, and make it worthy of people’s donations. And I as I said, there will be definite perks for those that make donations. I won’t say what, but it will be worth the donation.
