contents Using an asymptotic perturbation method, we study the initial value problem for the KP equation with initial data consisting of parts of exact line-soliton solutions. We consider a slow modulation of the soliton parameters, described by a dynamical system obtained via the perturbation method. {The dynamical system is given by a $2$-component quasi-linear system.} In particular, we show that a singular solution (\emph{shock wave}) {of the system} leads to the generation of a new soliton as a result of the resonant interaction of solitons. We also show that a regular solution corresponding to a rarefaction wave {of the system} can be described by a parabola (which we call a \emph{parabolic soliton}). We then perform numerical simulations of the initial value problem and show that they are in excellent agreement with the results obtained by the perturbation method.
