Neon Genesis Evangelion Vol. 4: Asuka's Arrival

The artwork in Evangelion is so expressive and moody — I wonder what influenced the choices behind the character designs and panel layouts.

The book delves into deep questions about existence and identity, which made me reflect long after I finished reading. How do others interpret these themes in relation to the story?

The fight sequences are intense but also feel symbolic, blending chaos with meaning. I’d love to hear if this was a conscious artistic choice or evolved naturally.
