* The manga version, written and drawn by character designer Yoshiyuki Sadamoto, which tells the same story as the anime (albeit with a number of changes)... and is a '''glaring''' modern example of [[Schedule Slip]] (see below for details).
* ''[[Rebuild of Evangelion]]'', a retelling<ref>That's what Anno says, anyway; [[Neon Genesis Evangelion/WMG|some fans suspect it might actually be a sequel]].</ref> consisting of four new animated movies whichreleased isbetween currently2007 inand production2021. The first film was releaseda inremake Japaneseof cinemasthe [http://www.animenewsnetwork.cc/article.php?id=9464first inseven Septemberepisodes 2007]with small changes, andbut as ofsince the second film, ''Rebuild of Evangelion'' has become a full-blown [[Alternate Continuity]]. Although it is by no means [[Lighter and Softer]], character angst/personality issues aren't quite as extensive, and some arrows point to an actual upbeat ending instead of ''The End of Evangelion'''s grim yet [[Bittersweet Ending]].
* ''Neon Genesis Evangelion: Girlfriend of Steel'' (also known as ''Iron Maiden''), a [[Visual Novel]] in the style of an episode. This adaptation featured [[Canon Foreigner]] Mana Kirishima, who went on to reappear some years later in ''Shinji Ikari Raising Project''.
* ''[[Neon Genesis Evangelion: Angelic Days|Neon Genesis Evangelion Angelic Days]]'', a [[High School AU]] manga built off the "alternate universe" sequence at the end of the anime: it retells the original story in a [[Lighter and Softer]] fashion. Based on the [[Visual Novel]] ''Girlfriend of Steel 2'', which aside from its title had absolutely nothing to do with the first.
* ''[[Shinji Ikari Raising Project]]'', another [[High School AU]] manga: this one is based on a video game of the same name. Six words: [[Lighter and Fluffier]] '''and''' [[Unwanted Harem]].
* ''[[Neon Genesis Evangelion: Campus Apocalypse|Neon Genesis Evangelion Campus Apocalypse]]'' (a.k.a. ''Gakuen Datenroku''), another [[High School AU]] manga: this one involves a Catholic school setting, the Evangelions as [[Empathic Weapon]]s instead of actual mechas, aspects of Norse mythology, and [[Puppeteer Parasite|body-swapping Angels]].
