Author has written 7 stories for Evangelion.

I'm not sure what anyone would really wish to know about a writer who has spent more than a million words detailing the life of a broken boy as he learns to become a man.

I guess the best thing to say is that my focus is on telling the story I wish to read. If you enjoy what I write, that brings me joy. If you don't? I at least thank you for giving my story an opportunity. Not everything can be for every audience, after all.

Recommended reading order:

(Pax Ikari vol I) You Are (Not) Complete

(Pax Ikari vol II) There Is (No) Hope

(Pax Ikari vol III) We Are (Not) Cursed

(Pax Ikari vol IIIS) Soft Is (Not) Weak

You Are (Not) Complete Cut Content is just that, content that was cut.

Ticks and Leeches has no impact on any of the main-series stories...yet.
