Visual Novel

Originally, Girlfriend of Steel (also called 'Iron Maiden' in the English-speaking world) was released in 1997 by GAINAX, and was reissued in 2006 as a special edition with some additional scenes, and it just goes to show how popular this game in Japan. Especially, a character sketch of Mana is in favor among the EVA fans. She is very beautiful, kindhearted, and has a secret.

However, some people say that Girlfriend of Steel is not so fun. I'm very fond of this game, but if I were to venture an opinion, I would say that the weak point is lack of interactiveness. It's paradoxical, this is a good point, too. You can be involved in the story, because this game doesn't disturb you to put a fire of questions. To be exact, this product is sort of like a visual novel.

On the other hand, Shinji Ikari Raising Project is a relatively complex simulation. But Mana appears as a mere supporting actress in the game.
