Stunning, hotheaded Asuka Langley Soryu has been friends with Shinji
Ikari since they were little. And she always sort of assumed they'd stay
together-until the day the beautiful, brilliant Rei Ayanami showed up
in class! When Shinji starts to get curious about Rei, Asuka needs to
figure out if she wants to be just friends with Shinji, or something
more. But why are so many people keeping an eye on these
relationships-people like homeroom teacher Misato, school nurse Ritsuko,
and Shinji's mother-NERV's chief scientist, Yui Ikari...?
Ikusei
Keikaku means something along the lines of "Raising Project", and is a
series of games that are based around the concepts of Gainax's old
Princess Maker games. These games allow you to more or less "raise" the
character as if you were some sort of parental figure. Don't ask me for
the particulars, I've never played it or seen it in action. But you can
more or less mold the character into the adult you would like them to
be. Previously there have been Rei and Asuka raising games, and most
recently, a Shinji raising game. For some peculiar reason, they decided
to release a manga to tie into the new raising game.
The manga
begins in a manner quite similar to the alternate universe of episode 26
of the TV series, as well as the Girlfriend of Steel 2 manga. In that
aspect, this manga will seem quite "familiar" to you.
