1994 – 2013

In 1999, a massive meteorite impact on Antarctica melted the ice sheets, causing global sea levels to rise dramatically and altering the world's climate, resulting in the deaths of over half of Earth's population. By 2015, the remaining human civilization faces new threats from mysterious beings called Angels—creatures of unknown origin that relentlessly destroy what is left of the world. Shinji Ikari, a 14-year-old boy, arrives in the fortified city of Tokyo-3, destined to fight these Angels. Recruited by his father's secret organization, NERV, Shinji is tasked with piloting an Evangelion, a colossal bio-mechanical robot built to battle the Angels. Bearing the burden of saving the world, Shinji must find the courage and resolve to protect both the future and himself. However, as the frequency of conflicts between Evangelions and Angels increases, the grim truth about their world slowly comes to light.

Background

Shinseiki Evangelion was initially serialized in Shounen Ace but moved to Young Ace on July 7, 2009. Although it was set to be released just shortly before the anime series began airing, production delays pushed the anime's airing date to 10 months later. The series was published in English as Neon Genesis Evangelion by VIZ Media from December 1998 to May 2003 for seven volumes. The publisher rereleased the manga under the Action imprint from February 25, 2004, to February 10, 2015, and in 3-in-1 omnibus volumes from November 13, 2012, to June 14, 2016. It was also released in Spanish by Norma Editorial from May 2003 to January 2015; in Brazilian Portuguese by Editora JBC from November 2001 to December 2014; and in Italian by Panini Comics from October 18, 2001, to November 22, 2014.
