By The Eva Monkey on Thursday, July 31st, 2014 in Fandom, Manga, Shinji Ikari Detective Diary (manga), Video.

Linkara of Atop the Fourth Wall recently performed a live show at Anime Midwest 2014 where he covered the Shinji Ikari Detective Diary.  If you’re unfamiliar with Atop the Fourth Wall, it’s a web show that covers and riffs on comics that are awful in various ways.

Evangelion Detective Manga Licensed? Really?

By The Eva Monkey on Friday, February 22nd, 2013 in Manga, Shinji Ikari Detective Diary (manga).

To quote Simon Tam, “This must be what going mad feels like”.  Apparently in late September of last year, Dark Horse Manga, in a bid to own ALL THE THINGS, licensed Shinji Ikari Detective Diary.  I am just finding out about this now.  Why on earth did no one tell me this?  Or did no […]

The Evangelion Omnibus is a real thing.

By The Eva Monkey on Wednesday, November 14th, 2012 in Manga, Neon Genesis Evangelion (manga).
