Neon Genesis Evangelion: Volume 2

Beaten unconscious in his first sortie, only to have the Eva defeat the Angel on its own, Shinji tries to recover from an encounter he neither understands or remembers, and he is still disregarded by the father from whom he desperately seeks approval. Moving in with his commanding officer, Capt. Katsuragi, Shinji sets out to try and re-start a "normal" life in school.
