Skuld is here!

Yep, that is the main attraction of this volume of Oh My Goddess! Belldandy and Urd's little sister arrives! She is a little brainiac with a mecha fetish, cute as a button, and probably the most violent of the cast, including Mara! Yet she loves her big sister Belldandy and wants her to come back up to heaven to help her fight the bugs. Evil little rabbit looking creatures that screw around with everything. Good stuff! Also in this volume Keiichi has to deal with Mara yet again. Mara turns Keiichi's little sister Megumi into a car, but because Mara stepped on a good uck item she has amnesia and cannot turn Megumi back into aperson. Crazt stuff enjoy!

THE BEST!

OMG is the best manga series ive found! it's so funny, and cute, and there is actually a little action, mixed with a little love, mixed with a little comedy. its the perfect blend of all the things ppl look for in anime and manga! action, love, comedy, great story, and of course, awesome art. everyone will like this story, guys, girls, everyone. you have belldandy and keiichi in love, belldandy the perfect girl, and keiichi always getting into some trouble (usually by no fault of his own, and with belldandy's older sister, urd, trying to get them together (more like trying to get them to go to bed together), and belldandy's younger sister, skuld, a mechanical genius, who doesnt want to "loose" her sister to a guy. it makes for funny situations and even better stories and plot. if you are a true manga or anime fan you would have OMG in your collection. and if you dont have u are seriously missing out!

Delighful!

Oh my goddess may not have the best artwork, or the best plot. But it has charm. And I absoulutly loved it. College freshman Morisato Keiichi gets more than he bargained for when he goes dialing for dinner and gets an unexpected delivery - Belldandy, a real live, honest to goodness Goddess! Belldandy grants him a wish, and Keiichi decides that what he really needs is a girlfriend just like Belldandy! And that's exactly what he gets. The mysterious "Ultimate Force" that enforces all Wish Contracts comes into play, and Keiichi and Belldandy are now inseparable. That's when Keiichi remembers that his dorm has a strict rule: NO WOMEN ALLOWED! Can Keiichi and Belldandy find a new place to live? Will everyone buy the story that she's a foreign student? And does Keiichi have the guts to put the moves on a babe who is LITERALLY divine? As said above, this series follows Keiichi and Belldandy life together. "Oh my goddess" may lack in a number of area's, but it still remains a delightful romantic/comedy. Full of charm, "Oh my goddess" remains one of my favorite manga's. The artwork is quite good. The characters designs are all interesting and very detailed. The artwork is overall easy on the eyes. is still pretty easy on the eyes. The characters are engaging. There is Keiichi, college student who, while trying to order takeout, summons a goddess instead. Then there is Belldandy, Keiichi's love interest and first class goddess, she is sweet and kind, and incapable of lying. Then there is the sexy Urd, who is also first class,(actually,first class limited because she will sometimes lie.) Urd has a high profile of herself, and believes she is the most powerful of her siblings. Urd is constantly trying to force Keiichi into puting the moves on Belldandy, and is sometimes quite decieving. Urd is also a talented alchemist. And finally, there is Skuld,who dislikes Keiichi and believes that he is stealing Belldandy away. This anime is chock full of jokes. Wheither it be Urd's attitude, the evil bugs( who look more kawaii than evil), Skulds love to her devices, or that very weird program on the television, it all works amazingly well."Oh my goddess" may lack the good material that "ranma 1/2" offers, but many of the jokes are still clever. Many of the jokes are stricky hit and miss. Fortunatly, for me, the weak jokes added to "Oh my goddess"'s charm, while the good jokes created a bundle of hilarity. And I find charm more rewarding than laughs. But as the series progresses, it takes a more serious tone, causing you to ponder Keiichi and Belldandys love for each other. You will be praying that their love holds up against all of the people who doubt them and try relentlessy to tear them apart. This feeling will hook you and force you to continue turning the pages. And this feeling stays far after the laughs are over. "Oh my goddess" is wonderful. If you like "Tenchi muyo" or "Ranma 1/2" don't hesitate. "Oh my goddess" is

An AMG! fan would be proud to own this!

This is one of the best manga collections I have ever read. Yes, it is a collection. It's actually a collection of about 7 or 8 comics that have been published by Dark Horse Comics... so if you already have a complete collection of comics, I don't suggest ordering this. It's the same series of comics as "Valentine Rhapsody"... don't remember the series number.Anyway. If you don't know what AMG! is, then I suggest getting the first manga collection, "Ah! My Goddess - 1-555-Goddess" or getting a hold of the anime video tapes. But if you already have the gist of AMG!, then you would need this manga! It has many quirks and jokes from all characters that make you want to keep reading (especially Urd's little jokes) and it provides interesting storylines that aren't followed from some old template (like those ugly good vs. evil stories). I recommend this if you're fan. And even if you're not, it's still a great read!

More characters = More fun!

Enter Mara. If you ever wondered who that sinister looking character was that was shown briefly in the Oh My Goddess! OVA's opening, here is your chance to find out! A battle between good and evil ensues but with a good dose of humor to liven things up. Skuld's appearance is handled differently in the manga than in the anime, but isn't it great to see her? ^_^ This is a light-hearted bit of playtime before we encounter Terrible Master Urd.
