Review
From the gaudy colour cover art, I was expecting an inelegant work featuring a bunch of anatomically dubious and heavy-faced characters. Conversely, I was greeted by a fresh and delicate style in mellow monochrome. Natsuho Shino's line work is light and endearing, which serves as a perfect compliment to the story itself. The manga develops around the initially uneasy cohabitation of Yuto and Jade as they try to balance their powers and personalities in a modern world. As events unfold and more mysterious characters are attracted to the young onmyouji, it soon becomes apparent that the boy is imbued with most the potent powers of the Hikami clan. Just as the odd couple are beginning to settle into a daily rhythm (of sorts), another god appears in the form of the self-possessed and elegant Rin! After pledging allegiance to the descendant of his former master, Rin becomes another member of the lively Hikami household (much to Hikami's disgust). Heart warming and humorous adventures ensue as the gods vie for Yuto's attentions. Finding himself with laden with two lost souls, sharing his life (and not to mention his bedroom) with these heavenly bodies is far from tranquil. Hot headed Jade and even the noble Rin are more doglike than deities. While there is little to make this a resoundingly memorable piece, it is a cute and cuddly comedy that will be endearing to fans of lighter boys' love fare. There is scarcely a trace of romance or fujoshi fan service, (no kissing, no confessions and certainly no sex!). Oh My God! builds on the elements of devotion and attachment via the ethereal theme, drawing upon the subtlety of shonen ai and the supernatural to create a compelling read. I look forward to seeing what Shino summons up in the next installment. --Priss - Otaku News --Yaoi Rose

I thoroughly enjoyed Oh My God! by Natsuho Shino. It's about gods, cute and gorgeous ones at that! Yuto is a typical high school student who comes from a long line of sorcerers. The problem - his grandfather has no magical powers and is a charlatan. One day, Yuto finds a strange sword in the family storage shed, and awakens a god who has been sleeping for hundreds of years. Add another problem - the god has amnesia!
Yuto names this gorgeous sexy dark haired god, Jade. Jade is strangely attracted to Yuto. To add to the mix, another god shows up, Yuto's protector, Rin. Now the real fireworks begin. Jade and Rin fight for Yuto's attention. Rin's serene and composed character is opposite to Jade's rowdy, energetic personality. Can opposites get along, and who will win Yuto's heart in the end?
What begins is a fun, comic and rollicking adventure.
Volume one sets up many questions - is Yuto really a powerful sorcerer as is hinted by Jade and Rin? Who is Jade, really? Does Rin have another motive for protecting Yuto?
I love this story. It's cute, funny, sexy and the story is unique. Jade is outrageously cute with his spiky dark hair, Rin cool and sexy and blond haired Yuto cute without being a cry baby wimp. Oh My God! is another winner from Deux Press. --Yaoi Rose

3.0 out of 5 stars
Cute shounen-ai work,
By
This review is from: Oh My God! Volume 1 (Yaoi) (Oh My God! (Deux)) (Paperback)
Oh My God! Is a part of the newest yaoi/shounen-ai line from Deux.
To begin, the book itself is not very thick (about 174 pages). Seeing that it is apart of a longer series (at least 2+ vols), it would have been nice to get more substance for my retail price of $12.95 (+tax). The pages are an odd shade of white-yellow, but still acceptable. The inking is very well done. The plot can only be described as shounen-ai. (Why this work has an "Older Teen" rating is beyond me.) As the summary shows, Yuto's family was once powerful sorcerers, but now the family's power is fake. Then, one day Yuto accidentally releases a supposed god of destruction. The only problem is that the "God" doesn't remember anything about himself. Yuto names him Jade. Jade does have god-like powers such as being able to fly. This said, the buddy-buddy friendship between the two is played out to hint at a deep and possible yaoi relationship. But this is where it ends - at hinting. For a yaoi fan, this work will do nothing more that tease you and leaving wondering when the work earns its rating. For everyone else, it is a cute shounen-ai work with lots of funny moments and good fast-paced story lines. Jade's rash and destructive moments earn quite a few laughs as well as his adaptation to modern living. Yuto's role is less entertaining. He plays the more down-to-earth, instructor role with some occasional moments that are very sweet. Most of the works full storylines center on spirits that wander into Yuto's life. With Jade's help (and hints at Yuto's own power) the conflicts are easily resolved with brief brushes of tension. Overall, Oh My God! is a quick but enjoyable read. Do not expect anything explicit or even some cute boy-on-boy kissing scenes. This work does nothing more than hint at a boy-on-boy relationship. Still, the work has plenty of humor, a good fast-paced storyline and is accompanied with beautiful art.

4.0 out of 5 stars
Not yaoi as of yet..,
By robbie (MD) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Oh My God! Volume 1 (Yaoi) (Oh My God! (Deux)) (Paperback)
The story starts off with Yuto releasing a god from a sword that he had been bound into. The god doesn't remember anything about himself not even his name so Yuto names him Jade. The story progresses with Jade working at the house of Yuto's grandfather where Yuto lives with his mother and father. The story hasn't progressed to any kind of romantic nature much less yaoi at the end, only a few blushes. There is a Volume 2 so maybe it will progress to that in that volume. Over all I liked the story itself but if your looking for anything of a graphic nature you might want to hold off.

3.0 out of 5 stars
Volume 1 would have gotten 5 stars ... but read my WARNING about Vol.2,
By BhamGhostwriter "Patrick" (Birmingham, Alabama) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Oh My God! Volume 1 (Yaoi) (Oh My God! (Deux)) (Paperback)
Wow! I liked volume 1 a lot. It's cute, humorous, easy-to-follow and even though there's no real love interest here, it DOES hold out the promise of a sweet, yaoi-like romance to come (at least of the more "innocent" sort). The characters, except perhaps for the grandfather, were all quite endearing. If this were a "stand alone" book unto itself, I would gladly give it 5 stars.
But now the warning: Volume 2 was a HUGE disappointment. Amazon, in their sales listing for Volume 2, declares that it would conclude the series. If that's the case, it's a very up-in-the-air, open-ended confused mess of a conclusion. I don't know what went wrong in Volume 2 but the story truly lost its way and turned into nothing but convoluted dissonance. The vague but promising "hint" of romance in Volume 1 failed to find any fruition in the second volume - there was nothing the least bit gay or yaoi-like in the sequel. Even the characters (those whom I could identify as well as others who seemed to come out of nowhere) came across as less likable. So, while Volume 1 is quite nice, why would you want to buy it knowing that the next volume was going to negate the entire experience?
