Evangelion manga resumes with stage 84.

If you’re not really familiar with the Evangelion manga, you should probably take a seat, because you’re about to get schooled. You see… Yoshiyuki Sadamoto, as amazing as an artist as he may be, is terrible at being a manga-ka. He has taken multiple, long breaks from producing the Evangelion manga, which he began in 1995, before the television series had even begun. His most recent hiatus from the manga lasted over a year, and he has taken several such long breaks from it over the past sixteen years. That really just blows my mind. And I feel really bad for anyone who has been reading it since its inception. I myself have been reading it since about 2001. It’s really amazing to compare the pseudo-logevitiy of the manga to the rest of the franchise. In that time, an entire television series, four feature films, multiple other manga series, numerous video games, and a plethora of merchandise have been released. And still, Sadamoto continues with the manga, slowly but surely.
Why do I bring this all up? Well, he finally made a new stage. He’s back. And you can read it. This is the first stage contributing to volume 13, so if you picked up and read volume 12 in English, this is immediately where you left off. You should check it out.
