Book Description

Publication Date: December 14, 2005

Ever since a cosmic phone call brought Belldandy, Urd, and Skuld - a trio of literal young goddesses - to live in college student Keiichi's residence, his personal life has been turned upside-down, sideways, and sometimes even into strange dimensions! After her demonic mother Hild lays down the condition for changing Peorth back to normal, Urd tells Mom that she can go back to Hell, but Urd sure isn't coming along. Hild's counter-offer promises to combine the magic-circle powers of herself, Belldandy, Skuld, and Urd to restore Peorth, in exchange for a promise from Urd to... well, she'll tell Urd after the ritual!

This review is from: Oh My Goddess! Vol. 22 (Paperback)

I've actually been in the Ah My Goddess series since they first started putting it out. I love the series, this part of the story does more to further Urd, who is usually just a mischeivous sometimes annoying house guest at Keiichi's place. You find out more about her mom, and what Urd is and isn't willing to give up. I love the series!

This review is from: Oh My Goddess! Vol. 22 (Paperback)

Volume 22 of the Oh! My Goddess (Ah! Megami-sama) manga series is a long step down from most of the preceeding 21 books. While it is pleasant enough reading, this installment lacks the spontaneity and charming surprises that endear its predecessors to so many.

Structured around Hild's promise to help return Peorth to normal size in return for an unnamed favor from Urd, the book delivers on what it promises. There is a sharp if not heated confrontation between mother (Hild) and daughter (Urd) and a rather charming resolution of the problem.

Overall, however, Volume 22 is lifeless and predictable, particularly when compared to other volumes in the series. It is certainly worth having if only to maintain the continuity of the storyline. At Amazon.com's asking price, it is also a decent value in today's entertainment market.

Hopefully, this is just a hiccup in a very enjoyable road. There is still far too much to learn about the Goddess saga for the series to be running out of steam.
