**END OF EVANGELION TWISTING HEADPHONE WARNING**
We finally reach the end of the manga, and MAN -- the way that Sadamoto interprets the End of Evangelion is surprising, refreshing, and interesting when you consider this took place YEARS before Thrice Upon a Time came out. Hm, Anno.
The journey with this manga has been SO great and I'm SO happy I have these digital versions to read w...
