Yoshiyuki Sadamoto has spent a good deal of time focusing on Asuka. While I am a huge Asuka fan so I enjoy this, I’m still surprised at how liberal he is with his interpretation of the character and the amount of focus he gives her.

Freaking Gendo there at the beginning with that smirk/smile of his.

This chapter covered, although slightly differently, Asuka moving in and the party for Misato becoming a Major. Plenty of comedy in this chapter, especially with the banter between all the kids. A lot more focus on Asuka than in the anime, although I don't feel it's really developing her character any better.

Yay, so Asuka did move in with Misato and Shinji. And, in this version, it was her that requested it. Hints at ulterior motives, eh? Also, Misato got promoted and a bunch of people showed up, including the seldom scene Hikari, for Kensuke's impromptu party. Misato and Kaji finally saw Asuka's true colors and weren't surprised at all. Foreboding monologue by Shinji at the end.

Sadamoto knows what's up.

Shinji's final monologue bothered me to no end. Please never stray away from the path of optimism, Shinji. That aside, another chapter focusing very much on Asuka. The fact that she isn't viewed as the perfect girl as she wants to be greatly upsets her.

I'm still not sure if Toji's accent is the best thing I've ever seen in a manga or quite simply the worst one.

It's annoying having to switch reading from left to right, just stick to one format and don't confuse the reader

Kensuke really needs to chill with his shenanigans

I like this Asuka a lot more than the anime. All of the characters feel more nuanced

This chapter does an amazing job when it comes to show how it is when something good happens to a depressed person.
