[Manga] Evangelion - Angelic Days

Evangelion has its own thread, but I wonder if I should make new thread instead continuing the current one, since this manga is a not talking the same Evangelion. Basically, Evangelion Angelic Days is a spin off manga from Evangelion series, an alternative universe of Evangelion.

The story is bit odd for me. I feel like reading a doujinshi that officially licensed by Gainax. I prefer Sadamoto's art much than this one. Well, anybody wants to give comment?

Neon Genesis Evangelion: Angelic Days (known in Japan as Shin Seiki Evangelion Koutetsu no Girlfriend 2) is a manga by Fumino Hayashi loosely based on the dream sequence portrayed in the final episode of Neon Genesis Evangelion, which featured the show's cast in a high school romantic comedy setting. Angelic Days appears in chapter installments in ADV Films' monthly magazine, Newtype USA.
With the drastic change in setting and tone, many of the characters have undergone changes that match their demeanors and relationships depicted in the dream sequence of episode 26. Some examples of these changes include:

• Shinji and Asuka's relationship. The two characters, who were often at odds with each other for various reasons in Evangelion, are depicted as having been friends since early childhood. In the manga, Shinji and Asuka first met when they were both 4.
• Yui Ikari, Shinji's mother, is still alive and working at NERV along with her husband Gendo and Asuka's parents.
• Misato Katsuragi is the homeroom teacher for Shinji and Asuka's class and Ritsuko Akagi is the school's nurse, although both still have some connection with NERV.
• Ritsuko Akagi, the forementioned nurse, became an easier character to hate, as she declares to Shinji in the first volume that she is in love with his father, a statement few people wouldn't have been surprised to hear from her in the anime.
• Rei Ayanami is an excitable extrovert, the polar opposite of her original persona. However, she is socially inept and is clueless on how to perform simple tasks such as cracking an egg open.
• When NERV begins the selection process to choose who will pilot the Evangelion units, Kensuke is chosen as a candidate along with Shinji, Asuka, Rei, Kaworu and Toji.

Also remarkable is that the actual Evangelions make up little of the story. They first appear near the end of the second volume where Shinji and Rei battle Sachiel. As expected of a story about romance, the overtones of the battle lie with the relationships between characters, instead of the darker, more selfish reasons the characters have in the anime.
The first paperback volume was released in the United States on May 5, 2006. The second volume was released on July 26th, 2006, and the third is due to be released on November 25th, 2006. Further U.S. release dates are yet to be determined.
