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!

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.
