"Neon Genesis Evangelion" Manga Finally Ending

Manga that predated Evangelion TV series heads into its final volume

February 08, 2012 11:36am PST (2/8/12)

Yoshiyuki Sadamoto, who provided the original character designs for Neon Genesis Evangelion, began telling a slightly alternate version of the story in a manga series in November 1994, 11 months before the anime hit TV. That manga is finally getting ready to wind down.

Material for the series' 12th volume has recently been completed with Young Ace's premiere of chapter 90 or "stage". With that, publisher Kadokawa has confirmed that Sadamoto's Evangelion has one more volume to go before the series is finally wrapped up.

Sadamoto's Evangelion manga is published in North America by Viz Media.

Hey, at least it is getting completed. Instead of getting cancelled and never having an ending or proper ending :p

runs monthly, so 1 volume a year would be normal (but went on hiatus a few times)

We are talking about one of the most influential anime series of our time. Its not like they are pumping out chapters like Bleach or Naruto. I'd rather them take their sweet time and tell the story how they want to, rather than publishing a bunch of fluff which would just take away from it.
Also, it was the anime that ended ages ago, not the story.
If anything, since there is around a year delay, I wish the Rebuild would be completed and available in the US before 2014.

If only we could read the ending with Taliesin Jaffe and Amanda Winn Lee commentary.

I have a friend who's completely obsessed with this series, pretty sure he'd said that it recently ended, like 6 months ago maybe. Guess I misunderstood, anyways all this new material is where the eva reboot movies are coming from, looking forward to the remaining (2?) movies. :D
