What is Ah My Goddess! ?
Ah My Goddess! (Aaa! Megamisamaa) is a Japanese comic book or as they call them a Manga. It has been written by Fujishima Kosuke and has first appeared in Comic Afternoon on September 25, 1988. Later, a cartoon version or, if you prefer, an Anime has been created.
And the story…
Morisato Keiichi is an ordinary student attending the Nekomi Institute of Technology (NIT). Guarding the dormitory for the evening while his roommates are probably partying, he tries to order take-out food. After a few unsuccessful tries, he misdial one number and is connected to the Goddess Technical Help Line. A few seconds later, a goddess actually appear besides him, using a mirror as a "teleportation device"! [Belldandy's first visit video]
Waaaah! Of course, he's startled. A girl coming out from a mirror…
She introduces herself has Belldandy, a goddess that is sent especially to grant him one wish, anything he may want. If he'd want fame, fortune, girls, anything, it would be provided immediately and this wish would be enforced indefinitely. Thinking that it's a joke from his dorm friends and not having any girlfriend, he asks for a goddess like her to always be with him.
While thinking this might not be the wisest choice, the wish is granted in a very spectacular way, making a mess out of the room.
In NIT's dorms, there is one rule which states "No women in men's dormitories!". What happens next? Our lucky Keiichi is discovered by his friends with a beautiful girl in his hands. Only one thing can happen, he is thrown out on the spot, with his girl.
This is the setting for one of the cutest anime in the marketplace. Many other things happen next, we've only cited the first ten minutes of the first episode…
Note about the name
There are two correct ways to write the name of the serie:
- Ah! My Goddess! which is used in japanese versions of the manga/anime.
- Oh! My Goddess! which is used by AnimEigo (anime english translators) and Dark Horse Comics (comics english translators) as an intended pun to the "Oh! My God!" expression.
We are purists, so we chose to use "Ah! My Goddess!" even more since the japanese title in romanji is written "aa megamisama" and not "oo megamisama".
