Evangelion Spinoff Manga Planned For April:
Full English Info
The April issue of Kadokawa’s Young Ace magazine announced on Tuesday that writer Yūshi Kawata and artist Yukito (Don Quixote -Ureigao no Kishi: Sono Ai-) will publish a Neon Genesis Evangelion manga spinoff in the May issue on April 4. The tagline reads “The stage is ‘Eva’ x ‘game department’!? Look out for this unique combination!”
Manga creator Yoshiyuki Sadamoto published the last chapter of the Neon Genesis Evangelion manga series last June — 18 years after its launch in 1994. The series has inspired multiple manga spinoffs, including the Neon Genesis Evangelion: Comic Tribute, Neon Genesis Evangelion: Campus Apocalypse, Neon Genesis Evangelion: The Shinji Ikari Detective Diary, Neon Genesis Evangelion: Angelic Days, and Neon Genesis Evangelion: The Shinji Ikari Raising Project. Dark Horse Comics licensed all the series for release in North America with the exception of Angelic Days, which was released by ADV Manga. [via animenewsnetwork]
