The June issue of Kadokawa Shoten's Young Ace magazine is revealing on Thursday that Yoshiyuki Sadamoto is ending his Neon Genesis Evangelion manga in two more chapters. If the science-fiction series runs the remaining chapters without a break, it will end in June.

Sadamoto launched the manga in the third issue ever published of Monthly Shōnen Ace magazine in December of 1994 — before the anime itself premiered on television. It has been running on and off for over 18 years since then. To celebrate the upcoming finale, Young Ace is running an "Evangelion Comic Climax Special Program" with talk sessions between the people involved and other content in the remaining issues.
