A shoujo for one of the greatest anime in recent (or maybe even the whole) history???? Yes, and it's being published here as 'Evangelion: The Iron Maiden 2nd'...the English in the title is crap... Anyway this new manga by Fumino Hayashi talks about the relationships between the various characters in Evangelion. Although this might seem very nice, the story-line is quite different from the original...unfortunately. I'm looking forward to read the 2nd volume and I'll keep you all informed.

Yes, I've heard of this. There's a video game for the first "girlfriend of steel" right? Another example of shoujo evangelion is the doujinshi-ish manga that's currently running in Newtype USA: "angelic days"

It's the thing where you see Rei running with the toast in her mouth and Shinji and Asuka have been friends since they were kids, etc

It's like what the world would be like if all that stuff with the angels never happened.

exactly...it all seems so nice and beautiful..but I've read the firse 192 pages of it (the first volume) and you don't even see 1 (1!!!!!) Angel!!!! And it looks like Kaworu is a nice guy....
anyway I'll have more details as soon as I read the second volume..this might get interesting...as it might not...
