The Shinji Ikari Raising Project is a manga that requires quite specific audience. Not only you have to be a fan of Evangelion, you also need to be able to enjoy near endless stream of almost mindless fanservice. And lets be real, the overlap of those two groups isn't exactly the greatest, which is why I was surprised that this is what the longest running Evangelion spin-off is.
As previously mentioned, most of this manga is pretty much just a continuous fanservice. Titties, asses, face in crotch, face in cleavage, you name it, we have it. Yes, without the Evangelion setting, this manga wouldn't have much

the appeal is lost after halfway through, its sorta gets to a point where its 14 year old softcore porn, also they repeat the same arcs like 60 times.
Im incredibly dissapointed considering I really liked the intial premise of this, but alas its japan, so it has to become creepily erotic at the expense of any conflict or plot. Like a problem sorta happens but then its just dropped for no reason. im only giving it a five because the start was pretty decent, also the art style was pretty good, but that is all. Yeah don't read this theres like 10 better evangleion mangas anyway. Nov 23, 2023
tl;dr: A solid though repetitive and generic rom-com, though one that would be better to consider it’s own thing despite having NGE in the title.
This is a really bizarre alternate take on Neon Genesis Evangelion. The manga itself really isn’t bizarre at all, rather it’s incredibly generic. But that itself makes the manga bizarre because it’s basically Evangelion stuffed into a really basic and standard rom-com mold. The world this spin off is set in, the Impacts, Angels, and what we know of as Evas don’t seem to exist. Rather the world seems to be running just fine. NERV still exists and is working on ...

Shinseiki Evangelion: Ikari Shinji Ikusei Keikaku, or as it's known in English: Neon Genesis Evangelion: The Shinji Ikari Raising Project, is a light-hearted spinoff manga of the popular mecha anime Neon Genesis Evangelion. The Manga is also loosely based on the Video Game of the same name. I say loosely, because really the only thing the Game and the Manga have in common is their name...
Story (3): There isn't much of a semblance of story here... Shinji, Asuka and Rei basically just go through with normal Junior High School life. There's a little bit of NERV here, but their goal is completely different to the ... Nov 7, 2021
Alright despite this being an official Evangelion Manga, this was really hard to read through after like the millionth fanservice-lined chapter.
Story: 3 Honestly they had something going for the story I guess, but I feel like it was just there so Shinji could have his harem. The pacing for the story is really, reaally dragging at times, and this manga feels way longer than it should've been. If the manga wasn't evangelion and it only had the story holding it up, then it probably wouldn't be nearly as long with this many chapters. Overall the story doesn't have much going for it, so if you're ... |
