Osamu Takahashi Libri

SEELE's frustrations with Gendo's plans leads their agent inside the school to abduct Shinji and place him under their mental control...which means Rei and Asuka must put aside their own rivalry long enough to join forces and rescue him!

In Book Three, Shinji, Rei, and Asuka at last begin to train as a team for real combat, weapons in hand...stalking a giant gelatinous creature with a spherical "core" they must take out. If this kind of mission sounds strangely familiar, you're right--but if things go as usual, it's poor Shinji who'll get called the slimeball! And even as the lab deals with the fallout of the Jet Alone affair, can they stand the stress of a relaxing game of company baseball with Gendo...?

Set in an alternate world inspired by the Neon Genesis Evangelion anime, the story explores the evolving relationships among its main characters, particularly Shinji, Asuka, and Rei. Asuka grapples with her long-standing friendship with Shinji when Rei's arrival sparks his curiosity. This emotional journey is complicated by the watchful eyes of their teachers and family members, raising questions about friendship, love, and the dynamics of their intertwined lives.
