Bookmark 2 out of 20
This happened to be my loot of the day for EOY 2007. $15 for 20 bookmarks was a rather good deal.
I was actually looking for this set of bookmarks every since I saw that promotional mini poster in Kinokuniya. Never had I expected to find it at a cosplay event. Now I do not have to buy 20 Evangelion manga volumes just to get the entire set. Sweet! Then again, I just might get them if I make another trip to Japan.

And that gets that ego-inflated orange haired tsundere, Asuka, all fired up. Mana’s relationship with Shinji, however, is not as close as we think. Mana has a dark past which she conceals from Shinji, and coincidently happens to be a child pilot of another type of robot, which is somewhat similar to what Shinji is. She was supposed to spy on Shinji and Evangelion Unit 01, but with her other friends who are child pilots running away in the robots from the organisation they were from, she gets into trouble and is hunted down desperately by the organisation.
