Shinji remains trapped within Eva unit 1, experiencing dreams of his mother and wishes to not leave. A month passes and Rei begs the unit 1 to release him, through Misato's words Shinji eventually rematerializes outside of the Eva. As Shinji recovers the sub-commander of NERV Fuyutski is kidnapped by SEELE, his interrogation prompts a flashback where we learn how NERV was created and that Shinji's mother lost her soul to the unit 1. Kaji frees Fuyutski but Kaji is eventually killed for spying on NERV. Misato mourns his death. Soon afterwards Dr. Ritsuko Akagi notices that Rei has changed due to her companionship for Shinji replacing her love for Gendo. Ritsuko falls under a spell of jealous rage and hurts Rei. She apologises quickly and realises that she has acted like her mother and predecessor, whom killed herself before her work at NERV was complete.

There's a particular kind of magic that happens when a friend hands you a book they love, especially when that book is a manga. We Appreciate Manga captures that exact feeling, beginning each conversation with a personal recommendation before letting the discussion wander into deeper territory. Hosted by the team at We Appreciate Manga™, this series is less a formal review and more like eavesdropping on a thoughtful, sometimes rambling, chat between enthusiasts. You’ll hear them explore how specific stories resonate, why certain artistic choices matter, and the very real comfort these illustrated narratives can provide during difficult periods. It’s a celebration of the medium that goes beyond plot summaries to appreciate manga as a unique and powerful form of visual storytelling. Think of it as your audio companion to a vibrant, anime-adjacent book club where the panels come to life through conversation. New episodes of this podcast have been available since August 2022, offering a consistent space to connect with the art and heart of these stories.
