One of the founding members of Studio Gainax, Japan's most progressive anime studio, Evangelion's Yoshiyuki Sadamoto was also the character designer for their recent Adult Swim smash, FLCL! Volume 1 features a Japanese sound FX glossary plus special bonus commentary by series mecha designer Ikuto Yamashita, as well as the famous "confession letter" written by director Hideaki Anno in the months before the original TV series premiere that laid out his deeply personal motivations to make Evangelion.

Action/Viz Media Edition - Volume 11 - 1st printing. Story and art by Yoshiyuki Sadamoto. Once Shinji didn't care about anything; then he found people to fight for--only to learn that he couldn't protect them, or keep those he let into his heart from going away. As mankind tilts on the brink of the Third Impact, human feelings are fault lines; good, for cracking the world open, or bad, to be welded forever shut. Kaworu, the Angel of Free Will, now offers Shinji his own two choices--but what if neither is the right one...? Softcover, 5-in. x 7-in., 184 pages, B&W.
