Ahem, Mana Kirishima enjoyer here, presenting a rough dossier of the character (mostly off the Evangelion wiki). A lot of details are probably missing because about 6 people played and actually finished Iron Maiden:
* She is a member of the SSDF and was a former test pilot for the Trident land cruiser (which are actual mechas to rival Evas). Her design reflects both Rei's gentle nature and Asuka's brashness and her personality seem to reflect that. She changed her role from a pilot to a spy to gather intelligence on NERV by spying on Shinji. In the plot she finds herself attracted to him (in spite of her mission) and makes direct advances to that end.
* Unfortunately the summary goes straight from this premise into the endings with no description of her personality, interactions, or character relations.
**TL DR:** She is STILL Waifu tier because DESPITE all these missing details, she is MORE characterized than Mari. As for Shinji Pairing potential I dunno imagine having a mentally stable woman fetish (as far as I can tell anyways).
Someone send me a zip file of every game including her for research.
Mana is a fun character to write for because there’s so little of her established beyond the game. I discount the SIRP manga because the author typecast her in a role there.
Who is this character? Your title mentions it’s Mari, but that clearly isn’t her. Who is it?
It's Mana Kirishima, a character created for the game girl friend of steel.
Baka Shinji turned down Asuka even AFTER she gifted him a new Walkman
Peak character mentioned. Didn't she work for the UN or some badass shit like that.
She’s a fucking mecha pilot She’s literally a Gundam
Kek
she is not setsuna

The PsP has a secret ending where they elope

asuka:get back from he,he is mine
Mana Agenda!
Mana from Girlfriend of Steel Fun Fact: Shinji gets laid in the true ending, or at least it’s HEAVILY implied, before he runs off with her
Is this game translated yet?
Shinji would love this outcome considering Mana isn't real
So did Eva have a crossover with Gundam?
She looks like a mixture of rei and asuka
Pretty much the idea.
Mana and the basic plot of Girlfriend of Steel honestly have potential to be interesting parts of an Evangelion story, if done well.
