Neon Genesis Evangelion, Vol. 1 by Yoshiyuki Sadamoto

5.0

This series wasn't actually in my book plan for July but I saw a really good cosplay of Capt. Katsuragi earlier and was like, okay I think I'm starting July with sci-fi.

Isn't it incredibly ironic how those nasty-looking, demonic-like monster is called angel? Also, I'm hooked. The art style is clean and smooth, it has that 90s anime vibe with modernized strokes, I mean, it was a series from the 90s anyway, but I've seen other classics and they are not as preserved as this edition that I was hooked instantly. The starting volume sure has so much potential with a gratifying climax that will leave you wanting more. I was at the edge of my seat... wanting more. No wonder why the series rose to popularity. I better go ahead and open volume 2. Also, I think this is my first time reading mecha, and I must say, I kinda regret not trying one sooner.
