Misato, the hottest woman character in anime. Good taste, Tomoko. But Asuka is standing right behind you. You have some explaining to do.
And this is genius.

Exactly what are they talking about?

^ Female characters in Evangelion. Asuka and Rei are teenaged pilots and Misato is one of the leaders.
Hina is trying to get Tomoko to say whether she likes Yuri or her most, by paralleling herself with Asuka and Yuri with Rei. Tomoko says she likes Misato most, by which she consciously or unconsciously means (Katou) Asuka.
The kicker being that what (Katou) Asuka doesn't look at all pleased that Tomoko apparently said she liked someone called Misato more than her, not knowing that she "is" Misato.

^ Yep, the artist is referring to Yuri, Nemo, and Asuka through Rei, Asuka (from Evangelion), and Misato respectively.

^ Yuri/Rei and Hina/Asuka watching from the background in the first frame, and Asuka/Misato watching in the second frame is hilarious. Otaku humor of the highest order.

I can readily imagine these two having a pathologically nerdy convo like this...

This is probably the best use of EVA reference i've seen in a while. Pure genius

Although, Nemo probably actually "really hates that anime" so I can't see this ever happening, haha.

And if you think about it Tomoko herself resembles Shinji a lot.

I don't think Asuka looks pissed at all. She is just standing in the background so you can get the Misato connection.

^ On second thought, I agree that she doesn't look pissed. But I definitely think she heard Tomoko seem to say she liked "Misato" more than Asuka (her).

Let's just be glad she didn't pick Kaoru.
