Summary

Stage 7: Closing Hearts

Shinji is welcomed into Misato's flat.

Shinji's classmates discover he is an Eva pilot.

At the end of this stage Shinji has a curious monologue while present in Eva-01, which gives us as readers a clear look into his current mental state.

“ I wonder when it started... the drifting... It's like my mind and body have come apart, little by little... Whenever something sad... or painful... happens... it's like there's another me who watches it... like it's happening to someone else thinking... "that's not me." It's okay. I can live like that. I'll lock my heart away deeper... if I do that... I won't have to feel pain outside or inside... or the fear... I won't have to feel anything at all. „

Stage 8: Shinji's Mood

Shinji comes across Misato's Third Child Supervision Record where he learns that Nerv Security Intelligence are watching his every move.

Stage 9: The Trials of a True Man

Shinji battles with the Angel Shamshel.

Stage 10: Shonen and Knife

Shinji defeats the Angel Shamshel. After defeating Shamshel Shinji openly questions who is piloting the Evangelion for.

Stage 11: Third Child Wandering

Misato confronts Shinji for disobeying her order to retreat during the battle with Shamshel, and slaps him. Shinji runs away. Misato writes in her Third Child Supervision Record that she believes Shinji ran away due to their prior argument.

Stage 12: Fumbling Towards Kindness

Misato uses Pen2 to demonstrate to Shinji that she considers him part of her family.

Notes

  • In this volume an interview with Yoshiyuki Sadamoto and Megumi Ogata, with a brief epilogue by Yoshitou Asari are printed.
  • Angel Kiss 4-koma.
  • The English release of the volume had different cover art. The English version's cover depicted the face of Eva-01 berserk, with a smaller Shinji in the Entry Plug in the bottom left.

Analysis

  • In the manga Shinji is much more sassy with Toji when he hits him than he is in the anime.
  • In the manga, Shinji encounters Ritsuko Akagi who has a message from his father for him prior to attempting to leave Nerv. In the anime Shinji only meets with Kensuke Aida and Toji Suzuhara prior to leaving.
