I like this doujinshi. Probably makes more sense with this said, though.

"Aka "The Girls of Origins", I'm quite fond of this particular Evangelion doujin. It's based off of the original designs of the show, as seen in the book "Der Mond". To clarify, Rei was once called Yui and had black hair, and Asuka had shorter hair with freckles. You might recognize the art, it's by Pengel the same artist as the Epilogue of Evangelion series. I'm kind of a fan of his work, but that might just be the WAFF in me talking. ><"

Thanks for the info！ Now it makes sense。

I need more Evangelion yuri in my life, especially works that are as cute as this one! Although most, if not all will probably be alternate universes such as this one is, but that's not necessarily a bad thing.

Wow thanks to myself from 2013! 7 years later (or 10, or 18), it's still cute!

this is really cute and makes me ship them even more, and it is really neat to see the older designs for both of them being explored! Damn i wish this was canon, a lot of terrible stuff in evangelion could be avoided if everyone was a bit gayer XD

asuka: ha i don't swing that way i wouldn't kiss you ahahahaha
also asuka: ...unless?

I'm used to a lot of strange stuff from the EVA fandom, but this is the first time I see Asuka with a Thompson... That aside, I really liked this almost-AU-but-kinda-not look at those characters and their dynamics.
