Newtype USA has announced the upcoming launch of a new serial manga, Neon Genesis Evangelion: Angelic Days.

Based on the popular Japanese PC and PS2 game, Angelic Days sets Eva pilots in a much more friendlier world. If you've often thought that the heros of Evangelion got the short end of the stick, this manga is for you. Full of comedy, romance and of course, some good old Evangelion action, Angelic Days is a alternate-universe breath of fresh air for NEG fans.

The new series is expected to hit your favorite manga shelves in August, 2005. To read the full press release, check out Newstype USA's website.
