Long before Hideaki Anno married Moyoco Anno, he was known as the creator of one of the most popular animated works of all timeNeon Genesis Evangelion. But little was known about the author’s personal life. Along came comic artist Moyoco Anno…then came love, then came marriage and then came a comic about how they changed each other’s lives….Hopefully for the better.
