EVA: With All My Heart

At the end of the twentieth century, the awakening of Adam, the First Angel, triggered the "Second Impact," causing nearly half of humanity to perish. To combat the threat posed by the Angels, the United Nations harnessed the resources of the entire world to create humanoid tactical machines called JAGER, then entrusted them to NERV's European branch, a special agency under its direct control. The first volume tells the prequel story of the protagonist Ling's mechanical unit fighting the Angels to the bitter end, before EVA officially enters active service. Harem novel. Asuka (main heroine), Mari, and one heroine yet to be decided.
