>>14094669 I watched the series first and then tried the manga but couldn't get into it. There's a really fun, surreal energy to the anime that gets lost in translation for me when reading the manga.

As for a recommendation, River of God's third act feels like the last 30 pages or so of the novel. Very well-realized world though, some good sci-fi concepts if you're into that.
To further tie it into the anime discussion it features a new "gender" of people born from a kind of idealization of the Evangelion, skinny, androgynous look. Or at least that's one characters obsession with these new people.
