It has slight changes that gradually make it different from the anime, and I must say that personally I liked this manga more than the anime. I swear that things are much better here. It's one of the best of all time, a manga that left a mark on me and surely on many others, as it deals with many psychological issues, especially abandonment. Is there anything else to say? Good artwork, an incredible story that has everything, colossal angels vs. humanity, Shinji, get in the fucking EVA and kill them all. Nah, it's a work of art.
