Evangelion Girlfriend of Steel 2nd Portable LE - New Import

©NCSX» The slacker known as Shinji Ikari is sleeping late again when Asuka bellows for him to wake up or they'll be late for school. Rousing from his slumber like the undead, Shinji eventually musters up the energy to join a haughty Asuka Langley in walking to class. On the way there, Ikari crashes into a new girl in town named Rei Ayanami and the two clatter onto the sidewalk. The poor girl's breakfast pastry clatters onto the ground and is presumably no longer edible. To add insult to injury, the girl suffers an unintended revelation as a result of her hiked up skirt and accuses Shinji of catching more than an eyeful. After some protestation by the meek Ikari, Asuka steps in and breaks up the commotion and they proceed to school.

Essentially an alternate retelling of the Evangelion story, Girlfriend of Steel 2 presents the main characters of the immensely popular franchise in a new light. Asuka and Ikari are seemingly going steady and totally copacetic while Rei Ayanami is more normal than her "real" self although her past is still mysterious. Light-hearted and free, the fledgling teenagers get a chance to be youthful and irresponsible without the shadow of NERV mongering over them... at least in the beginning of the adventure. The new Evangelion game is a digital novel that is played in interactive flick-screen motion where simple choices decide the pathway of story progression.
The limited edition includes an Asuka Langley case and a Rei Ayanami lanyard.
