-Well it's Christmas and NERV Academy is having their yearly festival and Shinj's class gets to re-enact the Nativity Story but you'll never guess who plays the Virgin Mary...Thats right our very own Asuka.
-Rei seems to have taken a liking to role in the play "The Stable Horse"...
-Yea they introduce the Class Rep and Kenj! Kenj start flirting with Masoto right off the back. She about beat his face in until Shinji and Kaworu. We also find out a bit more about the little girl from the last chapter.
-As it turns out she has a twin brother and they're both up and coming choir singers Cecilia and Makoto De Nuovo...wait loli-shota twins with European backgrounds...Never a good sign in anime/manga now a days.
(If any of you have seen SnS or Black Lagoon Season 2 you know what I mean.)
-Anyway back in class the girl who was to play the Angel Gabriel gets hurt so Asuka tells Rei to do it and makes Shinji take the role as Stable Horse basically telling him to do it right or else.(lol at the horns) After some words form Shinji all for it.
-Sadly during the scene with the meeting between Mary and Gabriel. Masoto pushes Shinji on to the stage and he ends up knocking everything over. The next page shows him with a bandage over his cheek form went punched him...
-Also as to insult to injury. Rei then show up and Shinji is thinking "ZOMG CONFESSION!" but it turns out she just wanted the horse head back...poor Shinji.
