I finally finished it after many months (lol).
For those uninitiated - Summer Children is not a doujinshi. It's an officially licensed comic anthology (hence the term "Parody Anthology"). It came from an era where GAINAX would license practically anything to make some money. GAINAX had very little to do with it beyond putting their trademark on it, and all of the artists are fanartists/doujinka who have worked on other Eva fanworks and Rapport Comics publications.
It's not very well known in the Eva fandom in general, but if you have heard of it, you've probably seen someone refer to it as "officially licensed Kawoshin porn". That's not exactly an incorrect description...? Like I say in the translator's note, it's less known for being something of good quality and rather for the novelty of being a Kawoshin anthology that GAINAX lent their name to.
Anyway, I hope you all get something out of being able to read it. Thank you very much for the continued support.
Also - sorry about any potential typos and for changing the font part way through.
(The download has been updated - I didn't realise until I'd already sent it to MRM but the zip file was missing a page towards the end. It's been fixed and I've asked them to add the page. Just keep in mind the read online link is currently missing that page as well.)
