Kenn's Comment: Yes yes, I know. This is a doujinshi. HOWEVER, it is a doujin that transcends the boundaries of awesome, encroaches upon the levels of legendary, and all together is one helluva read. It is the unofficial end of the famous Neon Genesis Evangelion series. Hailed as the greatest Evangelion doujin of all time, Studio Kimigabuchi kept the overall style of art as similar as possible to the original work by Yoshiyuki Sadamoto, giving it an almost official feel to it. It does take an Asuka route, whom I prefer over the relatively emotionless but still popular Rei, so if you hate Asuka to the core, I wouldn't exactly recommend this to you. It does have sex scenes, however they are pretty insignificant to the story, and also are very scarce throughout the five volumes. There's also an All Ages release of it, due to it's sheer popularity, so if you really want to avoid the sex, you could look into that one. It also has its own soundtrack, which was released some time ago. ;D
