the more I read the manga, the more I'm sure that this is Korean Evangelion
even the pilot seat looks totally similar, not to mention the water tank.
And the fact that Beast has soul(just like Evangelion)

The plot line is rather straight forward. The action is not bad, but there really isn't much tension in the fights. The art is nice. The biggest problem is the meshing of the characters and the tone of the story.

I found the characters so far to be more forgettable/annoying then really engaging. If the manga seems to want to be more drama/action with some comedy, rather then comedy/parody with some action. However, the characters are a little to gimmicky for the former and overall not zany enough for the latter. So far they seem to be mostly stock character archetypes, some with a gimmick. The only character they've made interesting is the one they put of commission in the first chapter (the girl the hero gets body swapped into). There seems to me some improvement in the latest chapters, but it's still weak.

The plot is fine, the action is ok, the characters are meh, and the art is nice.

There are so many obvious parallels to be found here.

Much like Evangelion, the enemy is fought with giant mechs which are hinted actually hinted to be some kind of bio-mechanical being.
Much like Evangelion, the main character is a self-loathing worthless teenager whose only value is in his ability to magically turn into an uber-badass fighter in live combat.
Much like Evangelion, the Earth is in a post-global disaster period and is fighting off aliens/monsters.
Much like Evangelion, the "official" leadership of the world are worthless figureheads stuck in a blaming argument while the military leadership and mysterious shadowy figures are the true leaders.

I like the setup as to why the characters are in that situation, as well as some of the foreshadowing done in the earlier chapters. The Evangelion likeness hit me too, but I find that this might be somewhat better than Evangelion as the tone is more mild and hilarious. Definitely worth reading and getting into.

Young teens piloting machines that man did not make and sometimes cant control to fight other worldly apocalypse creatures? This smells like Evangelion however it has a comedic tone (and more ecchi). Art done by same people who do The Breaker. Room to grow. I'll be interested in seeing what direction they take with it.

I like it might be because it has the same characters from the breaker or the giant mechas XD main character is still honest and straight forward which I really like, and they include quite a bit of comedy(though usually ecchi, it's kind of given since it's in the genre)
