Recognition, and new manga
By The Eva Monkey on Saturday, April 14th, 2007
Those Eva fans that enjoy indulging in Evangelion manga on occasion will be glad to know that the wait for the English version of volume 10 is over. Published April 10th, volume 10 is the most recent installment in Yoshiyuki Sadamoto’s manga version of Evangelion. So go pick it up, and enjoy, because the wait for volume 11 is about to begin.
I’d also like to take the time to express my delight and gratitude to Carl Horn for the mention in his post script to the volume. Here’s the section in question, you can read the rest when you pick up your copy.
Two more things before we go. While you’re waiting for the new Evangelion anime–not to mention the next volume of the Evangelion manga, which Mr. Sadamoto, on average, finishes at the rate of six chapters per year–I want to strongly recommend you check out the forums at evamonkey.com. With over 800 registered users, it’s the largest English-language discussion board for Neon Genesis Evangelion, and attracts posters from Europe, the Middle East, and Latin America as well as the United States and Canada. Moreover, as moderated by its founder, Aaron Clark (whose Evangelion panels you might have seen at East Coast anime conventions), it’s a thoughtful and informed place to talk about Eva, whether the topic is “who’s hotter, Asuka or Rei?” (the correct answer is “Ritsuko”) or “Gender of Non-Lilim Persons” (an actual topic).
Though not especially recent news, I’d like to mention that ADV Manga published volume 4 of Angelic Days on March 5th. The remaining two volumes are slated to be published on June 20th and September 19th.
