Manga Review: “Oh My Goddess!” Volume Nine

Article first published as Manga Review: Oh My Goddess! Volume Nine by Kosuke Fujishima on Blogcritics.

Oh My Goddess! Volume Nine is a manga with the story and art by Kosuke Fujishima, and it was published in North America by Dark Horse Manga. This review is for the second printing of this volume, which was released in 2008. There isn’t a rating printed anywhere on this volume, but after reading it, I would recommend Oh My Goddess! to manga readers who are 12 or 13 years of age and older.

The main character of Oh My Goddess! is Keiichi Morisato, a first year student at the Nekomi Institute of Technology. One day, he accidentally dials the Goddess Relief Office, and a goddess named Belldandy appears before him. She is able to grant one wish to Keiichi, and he wishes for Belldandy to stay with him forever.

Unfortunately, Keiichi and Belldandy aren’t alone for very long. Keiichi’s sister Megumi starts going to Keiichi’s school and is nearby, and Belldandy’s sisters Urd and Skuld move in with Keiichi and Belldandy. Urd tries to use various tricks and potions to get Belldandy and Keiichi closer together, while Skuld doesn’t want them to be a couple. Over the course of the series, other people try to break up Keiichi and Belldandy.

The first story arc in Volume Nine focuses on the small ninja that the demon Mara has ordered to cause trouble for Belldandy and Keiichi. One of the ninja was introduced right near the end of Volume Eight, and this story continues that story thread. This story ends up progressing and ending in a way that I’ve come to expect from the other stories where Mara has tried to interfere with Belldandy. Unfortunately, I didn’t like this story quite as much as the other stories that featured Mara as the main antagonist.

The next story sees Urd and Skuld being summoned back to the Heavenly Realm, leaving Belldandy and Keiichi by themselves temporarily. Belladandy falls ill, and Keiichi tries to figure out how to take care of a sick goddess. I found this story to be very amusing, especially when Keiichi is unable to decipher the code for Urd’s potions and takes them in order to figure out what each one does.

Urd gets a major storyline after she returns to Earth. Her ex-boyfriend, the Plum Tree Spirit, makes an unexpected appearance on Earth and tries to win her back after he was the one who had dumped her; unfortunately, the Plum Tree Spirit has a hidden agenda for this reunion. Thanks to the Plum Tree Spirit’s bad singing and his character traits, this ended up being my favorite story arc to appear in Volume Nine.

In the next story, Keiichi unexpectedly finds himself in charge of the N.I.T. Motor Club, and discovers there’s a race that the two regular officers had wanted the club to participate in. With help from the other club members and Belldandy, Keiichi is able to make all of the arrangements and get everything ready for the race. While this was an enjoyable enough story arc, I didn’t think it was quite as strong as the story with the Plum Tree Spirit or the story about Belldandy becoming ill.

The final story arc in Volume Nine sees a young woman named Shiho Sakakibara approaching Keiichi, saying she can sense that he has been possessed, and insists that she can drive the spirits out of him. The young woman won’t take no for an answer, and her efforts to help Keiichi have humorous results. This was another story arc in Volume Nine that was a lot of fun to read.

Overall, Volume Nine of Oh My Goddess! is an enjoyable read. I’m looking forward to reading Volume 10 to see what happens next for Keiichi and Belldandy.

Manga Review: “Oh My Goddess!” Volume Eight

Article first published as Manga Review: Oh My Goddess! Volume Eight by Kosuke Fujishima on Blogcritics.

Oh My Goddess! Volume Eight is a manga with the story and art by Kosuke Fujishima, and it was published in North America by Dark Horse Manga. This review is for the second printing of this volume, which was released in 2008. There isn’t a rating printed anywhere on this volume, but after reading it, I would recommend Oh My Goddess! to manga readers who are 12 or 13 years of age and older.

I had some very interesting timing when it came to reading this particular volume of Oh My Goddess! About an hour after I checked out this manga volume from the library, I learned about the passing of Toren Smith, who had served as a translator for the Oh My Goddess! manga series; his name even appears as a translator in this particular volume.

The first story in this volume has Keiichi, the Motor Club, and the goddesses going to an old fashioned mountain resort owned by Keiichi’s grandfather. When they get there, they meet a character named Chieko Honda; she was named after an anime voice actress, who ended up voicing this character when this story was adapted for the anime. Ms. Honda passed away after a battle with cancer about a couple of weeks before I read this volume of Oh My Goddess!

Unfortunately, Aoshima makes an appearance in the next storyline. I’m personally not a fan of this character, and think that in the long run, he really doesn’t add much to the overall story. It turns out a young woman Keiichi knows is in love with Aoshima and wants to learn how to cook so she can make a bento for him. Belldandy takes the young woman under her wing, while Aoshima misunderstands the situation and tries to take advantage of the situation because of his misunderstanding.

Urd tries to meddle with Keiichi and Belldandy’s relationship, while Skuld wants to interfere in Urd’s plans. This storyline takes place at the beach, and it gave me a chuckle when Skuld’s invention is obviously named after the manga and anime series, Blue Submarine No. 6.

The final story sees Mara making another return to the series, this time bringing along a ninja master named Kodama. Fortunately, this character is nowhere near as annoying as the god named Senbei that Mara unleashed in Volume Seven.

Once again, this volume only includes the “Letters to the Enchantress” section; this time, only one page is devoted to any letters, while the remaining four pages are devoted to fan art. I miss Carl Horn’s commentary, but I suspect this is something that won’t be appearing in any more volumes of Oh My Goddess!

Oh My Goddess! is still an entertaining read, and I hope the series continues to be enjoyable as I continue progressing through it.

Manga Review: “Oh My Goddess!” Volume Seven

Article first published as Manga Review: Oh My Goddess! Volume Seven by Kosuke Fujishima on Blogcritics.

Oh My Goddess! Volume Seven is a manga with the story and art by Kosuke Fujishima, and it was published in North America by Dark Horse Manga. This review is for the second printing of this volume, which was released in 2007. There isn’t a rating printed anywhere on this volume, but after reading it, I would recommend Oh My Goddess! to manga readers who are 12 or 13 years of age and older.

Oh My Goddess! is a manga series about a loser named Keiichi Morisato, who accidentally contacts the Goddess Relief Office when he’s trying to get in touch with one of his dormmates. The goddess Belldandy ends up staying with Keiichi, and the manga follows their developing relationship and the various obstacles that try to get in the way.

During the series, Belldandy’s two sisters, Urd and Skuld, also come to Earth and end up staying with Keiichi and Belldandy. Urd has a bit of a mischievous and “evil” streak, while Skuld has a lot of technological know-how and likes to build things.

This volume has a strong emphasis on Skuld, through mishaps she inadvertently causes through her inventions. First, Skuld knocks over a love potion that Urd created, and creates a device to clean up the spilled potion. After returning the potion to its container, Skuld thinks it looks a little low. Skuld attempts to “fix” the potion, but this ends up causing problems.

Later in the volume, Skuld creates Mini-Banpei RX, a robot that is supposed to help protect them from Mara, a demon trying to cause trouble for Belldandy. When Belldandy makes a booster circuit for the robot, the robot falls in love with her. Hijinks ensue for Keiichi and the others.

Speaking of Mara, she makes an appearance in this volume. She unleashes Senbei, a god trapped in a soda bottle who is the god of poverty and disaster. Mara attempts to use Senbei to bring unhappiness to Belldandy. Unfortunately, I thought Senbei came across as a rather annoying character, especially through the style of his dialogue. I really hope this is a character that I’ll never have to see again in Oh My Goddess!

Unfortunately, a character who had all but disappeared for the past couple of volumes is a major player in one of the storylines in this volume. That character would be Sayoko, the wealthy woman who is trying to get Keiichi for herself in order to make Belldandy unhappy. I had been so glad when Sayoko has disappeared, because I find her to be a rather annoying character who, in my opinion, really doesn’t add a whole lot to the series overall. I can at least console myself with the fact that she only appears in one story in this volume.

This volume only includes one letter in the “Letters to the Enchantress” section, which serves as a lead-in to the fan art that is included at the end of the volume. I have to say that I really miss reading Carl Horn’s commentary that appeared in the earlier volumes of the series. Not only were they entertaining to read, but they really helped to explain the context of some of the things that are seen in the series that would have made sense to readers who read this content back in the late 1980s and early 1990s, but could potentially go over the heads of readers who are seeing this material for the first time.

At this point in Oh My Goddess!, the concept doesn’t feel like it’s gotten stale, and it feels like the overall story is still progressing. Hopefully, I’ll still be able to make these kinds of statements by the time I reach Volume 40 of the series.

Manga Review: “Oh My Goddess!” Volume Six

Article first published as Manga Review: Oh My Goddess! Volume Six by Kosuke Fujishima on Blogcritics.

Oh My Goddess! Volume Six is a manga with the story and art by Kosuke Fujishima, and it was published in North America by Dark Horse Manga. This review is for the second printing of this volume, which was released in 2007. There isn’t a rating printed anywhere on this volume, but after reading it, I would recommend Oh My Goddess! to manga readers who are 12 or 13 years of age and older.

This volume begins with Urd still under the control of the Lord of Terror. Together, they launch the Ultimate Destruction Program. In order to combat this threat, Belldandy has broken a seal that was placed on her. Belldandy and Skuld are also given a vaccine to delete the Ultimate Destruction Program. Quite a bit of the story in this volume focuses on the Ultimate Destruction Program, and the various attempts that are made to get rid of it.

This volume also sees Skuld meeting Keiichi’s sister, Megumi. Both girls are mechanically inclined, and a rivalry develops. The school’s motor club enters the two girls in a robot competition, where they must both build a robot and have their robot grab the most drums before the competition ends.

The last story in this volume shows what happens to the three goddesses in the aftermath of the havoc wreaked by the Ultimate Destruction Program. There’s a very sweet section near the end that focuses on Urd.

Since this volume focused so much on the Ultimate Destruction Program, it meant that characters like Sayoko and her cousin Toshiyuki do not appear anywhere in the story. Personally, I’m not too terribly heartbroken about not seeing them. In some respects, I hope I hardly have to see these characters again, because I don’t think they work as long-term obstacles to come between Belldandy and Keiichi. At this point, I really wouldn’t mind if they quietly disappeared from the series.

This volume has another “Letters to the Enchantress” section, as well as four pages of fan art. I’m disappointed to no longer see the editor’s notes that appeared in some of the very early volumes of Oh My Goddess! These notes helped me to better understand some of the cultural references that appear in the story, as well as giving a perspective of what Japan was like at the time that particular volume was originally written. Not only were Carol Horn’s notes helpful, they were also entertaining to read.

Overall, I really enjoyed this volume of Oh My Goddess! In my opinion, it was probably one of the strongest volumes at this point after the first volume. If you’ve read the previous volumes of Oh My Goddess! and enjoyed them, I suspect you’ll also enjoy reading Volume Six.

Manga Review: “Oh My Goddess!” Volume Five

Article first published as Manga Review: Oh My Goddess! Volume Five by Kosuke Fujishima on Blogcritics.

Oh My Goddess! Volume Five is a manga with the story and art by Kosuke Fujishima, and it was published in North America by Dark Horse Manga. This review is for the second printing of this volume, which was released in 2007. There isn’t a rating printed anywhere on this volume, but after reading it, I would recommend Oh My Goddess! to manga readers who are 12 or 13 years of age and older.

This volume opens with Valentine’s Day, and Urd trying to get Belldandy and Keiichi together through putting a poison in the chocolates that Belldandy is making for Keiichi. Mara also has a scheme of her own that uses chocolate and poison. The resulting storyline is actually rather amusing.

The first major story arc in this volume sees Belldandy’s younger sister, Skuld, finally coming to Earth and becoming an important part of the story. As Skuld is trying to convince Belldandy to return home, bugs from the Yggdrasil system meta-program make their way to Earth and wreak havoc. At first, it’s thought that the bugs are coming the three goddesses are together and creating a singularity. It turns out that something else is actually the singularity.

The other major story arc has Mara trying to summon the Lord of Terror with an urn. At the same time Urd’s goddess license is suspended for fifty years. Urd tries to become human, but it doesn’t work out very well. Urd hears a voice telling her to look inside herself and assume her rightful form. It turns out Urd has a secret that is tied in with the Lord of Terror.

Something that really caught my attention in this volume is the fact that Sayoko, a character who had been so prominent in earlier volumes of the series, is essentially relegated to one panel in Volume Five. With the particular stories being told, she really wouldn’t have served a real purpose. To be honest, I was rather relieved to not have to see Sayoko very much; personally, I find her to be rather annoying, and not truly adding anything to the series at this point. Hopefully we’ll see less of her as the series goes on, and I also hope to see less of Toshiyuki as well.

The end of this volume includes another “Letters to the Enchantress” section. The first letter is very heavy on scientific explanations, and will only hold the interest of readers who have an interest the various scientific principles the letter writer is talking about. The second letter is a bit more interesting; however, there really isn’t much text from Carl Horn included in this volume. There’s also no editor’s commentary in this volume; I missed having this in the volume, because I enjoy Horn’s writing. Instead, there is some fan art drawn by a reader from Greece included instead; it’s actually some pretty decent fan art.

If you’ve read the first four volumes of Oh My Goddess! and enjoyed them, then I suspect you’ll also enjoy reading Volume Five as well.

Manga Review: “Hiroaki Samura’s Emerald and Other Stories”

Article first published as Manga Review: Emerald and Other Stories by Hiroaki Samura on Blogcritics.

Hiroaki Samura’s Emerald and Other Stories is a compilation of one-shot manga written and illustrated by Hiroaki Samura, the creator of the Blade of the Immortal manga series. This compilation was published in North America by Dark Horse Manga in 2013. There is no rating printed anywhere on this volume, but I would personally recommend Hiroaki Samura’s Emerald and Other Stories to manga readers who are 16 or 17 years of age and older. This is due to some of the content of the stories included in this volume, as well as the fact that there are a few panels included that feature female nudity.

“Emerald” is the first story to appear in this compilation, and it’s also the longest of the one-shots in this volume. The story is set in a Wild West setting. A 14-year-old girl named Sara, who has lost both of her parents, owes a large debt to Mr. Randolph, a powerful man in the town where she lives. Mr. Randolph insists on Sara playing a game of chance; she can tell he’s rigging the game, but she knows no one in the room will believe her if she says anything. Meanwhile, a woman is trying to hire a notorious criminal to help her with a job. Initially, these two storylines don’t seem to be related, but they end up coming together in an interesting way. It should be noted that there are some sexual references made in the dialogue of this one-shot manga.

Next is “The Kusein Family’s Grandest Show.” A high school girl named Kaoru doesn’t like the housekeeper who has been serving her and her father. Kaoru thinks that something is going between her father and the help, but it turns out there’s more to the story than Kaoru realizes. I don’t want to say anything further about this story, because I don’t want to provide spoilers. However, what I will say is that I found this to be one of the more disturbing stories to be included in this compilation.

Sprinkled throughout the volume are several chapters of “The Uniforms Stay On.” There were eight chapters of this project that had been serialized in a magazine in Japan. The basic premise is that two high school girls, who are occasionally joined by a third girl, try to provide commentary about various fads and other contemporary issues. The first couple of chapters weren’t too bad, but I could tell that for the last few, Samura was really struggling to put something somewhat coherent together. This ultimately was a project that didn’t work out very well as a long-term project.

“Brigitte’s Dinner” is set in 1919. A girl and her brother are trying to survive by themselves. A man finds them on the side of the road. He takes the girl with him, and he tells her that her brother is being taken to a hospital because he is malnourished. The man takes care of her for two months, and then takes her to a place where she is auctioned off. She is taken to a luxurious home, and it’s her job to eat dinner with an extremely injured man every night at 6:00. By the time I finished reading this story, I found it be just as disturbing as “The Kusein Family’s Grandest Show” had been.

On the surface, “Shizuru Cinema” appears to be a story about a young, aspiring manga artist and his high school age girlfriend. There’s actually an interesting twist that takes place at the end of the story; I have to admit that I had no clue that this twist could have even been possible.

“Low-Grade Strategy: The Mirror Play” is a very short story about a turn in a game of mahjong. Since I don’t have a lot of knowledge about how the game is played in this manner, I had a hard time following what was going on.

The final story in this volume is “Youth Chang-Chaka-Chang.” The focus of this story is on a young man admitting his feelings to a woman, and the song that he has recorded and given to her.

I have to say that I’m very impressed with Samura’s art style. With the way he draws his characters, they almost seem to leap out from the page and come to life. I even felt this way about “Low-Grade Strategy: The Mirror Play”; while I may not have entirely understood what was happening, the look and feel of the characters kept me interested in reading the story.

Personally, I think that Hiroaki Samura’s Emerald and Other Stories will hold the most appeal with readers who are already familiar with Samura’s work. While readers not familiar with his work may like what they read, they may not be able to appreciate it quite as much as readers who are already fans of his work.

I wrote this review after reading a pre-release digital copy of Hiroaki Samura’s Emerald and Other Stories that I acquired through the NetGalley.com website.

Manga Review: “Oh My Goddess!” Volume Four

Article first published as Manga Review: Oh My Goddess! Volume Four by Kosuke Fujishima on Blogcritics.

Oh My Goddess! Volume Four is a manga with the story and art by Kosuke Fujishima, and it was published in North America by Dark Horse Manga. This review is for the second printing of this volume, which was released in 2007. There isn’t a rating printed anywhere on this volume, but after reading it, I would recommend Oh My Goddess! to manga readers who are 12 or 13 years of age and older.

I believe I’m finally in a point in the Oh My Goddess! manga that I’ve gotten past the material that was used as the basis for the Oh My Goddess! OVA series. So now I’m finally seeing stories and characters that I am completely unfamiliar with.

One of the big changes in Volume Four is the introduction of the character Mara. Mara is a demon who wants to separate Keiichi and Belldandy, and is introduced when one of the characters purchases a possessed CD and tries to play it on a record player. Most of this volume focuses on Mara and the plans the demon tries to carry out in order to make Keiichi and Belldandy miserable.

Since I like music in addition to manga and anime, I found the music references included in this volume to be rather amusing. Lines like “That’s right, Mara! It’s a double disc set!” and “They’re a 2-CD set, you know… not available on LP or cassette” made me chuckle a little bit. While the LP and cassette references do date the story a little bit, I still found these lines of dialogue to be humorous.

The end of this volume includes another “Letters to the Enchantress” section, and it focuses on two themes: attempting to create a timeline for the series up to this point and breaking down what the characters’ names mean in Japanese. There is plenty of commentary sprinkled in by editor Carl Gustav Horn, which helps to explain some of the observations that are made.

Instead of Horn’s usual editor’s commentary, there is an interview with manga author Kosuke Fujishima from Animerica that’s included. Horn makes it clear that Dark Horse Manga has acquired the necessary permission to republish the interview. Personally, I enjoyed reading the interview, and I feel that I could get a sense of who Fujishima is as both a manga artist and as a person.

My 15-year-old daughter also read this volume, and thought it was the strangest volume of Oh My Goddess! that she’s read so far. Personally, I don’t think it’s that much stranger than the previous three volumes of the series; everything that happens, as well as the new characters and concepts that are introduced, fit right in with the tone and feel that Fujishima has already set for the story. If you’ve read and enjoyed Oh My Goddess! up to this point, I don’t think you’ll be disappointed with Volume Four.

I wrote this review after reading a copy of Oh My Goddess! Volume Four that I checked out through the King County Library System.

Manga Review: “Cardcaptor Sakura” Omnibus Volume Four

Article first published as Manga Review: Cardcaptor Sakura Omnibus Volume Four by CLAMP on Blogcritics.

Cardcaptor Sakura Omnibus Volume Four collects the 10th, 11th, and 12th volumes of CLAMP’s manga series into one volume. Dark Horse Manga has the North American distribution rights for the series, and they released this omnibus version in September 2012. There isn’t a rating published anywhere on this volume; however, I would recommend Cardcaptor Sakura to manga readers who are 13 years of age and older.

The fourth omnibus of Cardcaptor Sakura brings the whole story to an end. One thing that really fascinated me when I read this was the fact that the main conflict of this story arc was basically resolved at the end of the 11th volume. The 12th volume focuses very heavily on the relationships that appear in the series, and Sakura’s struggle to figure out what her own feelings are.

While the overall resolution of the story was rather predictable, it was still a very sweet ending for the series. Readers who found themselves emotionally invested in the story and the characters will not be disappointed at how CLAMP brought the series to an end.

For me, the one thing that still bugs me about this story is the idea that Sakura’s teacher is in a relationship with one of his 10-year-old students. Not only that, but from something said in another volume, it appears that the teacher has given an engagement ring to this 10-year-old student. In some respects, it kind of feels like CLAMP was “sugarcoating” this particular relationship. While Sakura and her friends don’t realize that their classmate’s older boyfriend is their teacher, and the classmate does kind of address the issues surrounding the age difference, the overall portrayal of this relationship just feels wrong.

Before reading this series, I’d heard a lot about Cardcaptor Sakura and its importance to the “magical girl” genre; while it may not be as big as say, Sailor Moon, it still holds an important place among “magical girl” stories. Now that I’ve read Cardcaptor Sakura in its entirety, I think I’ve come to understand why it has received so much favor from readers who enjoy “magical girl” manga. While Sakura may be young, she possesses a lot of inner strength, determination, and a belief in herself; she serves as a good role model for the audience that Cardcaptor Sakura is trying to reach.

If you are a fan of Cardcaptor Sakura and haven’t already added the series to your manga library, these four omnibus editions released by Dark Horse Manga would be a great way to acquire this classic “magical girl” series.

I wrote this review after reading a copy of Cardcaptor Sakura Omnibus Volume Four that I checked out through the King County Library System.

Manga Review: “Oh My Goddess!” Volume Three

Article first published as Manga Review: Oh My Goddess! Volume Three by Kosuke Fujishima on Blogcritics.

Oh My Goddess! Volume Three is a manga with the story and art by Kosuke Fujishima, and it was published in North America by Dark Horse Manga. This review is for the second printing of this volume, which was released in 2006. There isn’t a rating printed anywhere on this volume, but after reading it, I would recommend Oh My Goddess! to manga readers who are 12 or 13 years of age and older.

One thing I noticed as I read this volume was that none of this material appeared in the Oh My Goddess! OVA anime. One of the big developments in Volume Three is the introduction of a new character named Toshiyuki Aoshima, a freshman at Keiichi’s school who has his eye on Belldandy. To top things off, Toshiyuki is cousins with Sayoko, a woman who is trying to get Keiichi away from Belldandy. Over the course of Volume Three the cousins work together to try to break up Keiichi and Belldandy.

As I’m reading through the manga, I’m starting to wonder why Keiichi’s sister was introduced to the series in the first place. While she played an important role in Volume One, she becomes relegated to a background character in Volume Three, and at times, her appearances in this volume almost feel like an afterthought.

The Motor Club has a central role in Volume Three as well. During this volume, another recruitment effort is underway to add members to the club, and this is where Toshiyuki makes his entrance in the series. There final story arc in this volume involves a race that the Motor Club has put a lot of money into. In a couple of the early stories in the volume, the appearance of the members of the Motor Club feel a little forced. I find it kind of interesting that Fujishima felt it was more important to the Motor Club to make appearances in the story than Keiichi’s younger sister.

The end of this volume includes a “Letters to the Enchantress” section and an editor’s commentary; both of these features are written by Carl Gustav Horn, the editor of the series. Once again, Horn delivers the information and trivia included in his commentary in a way that it’s an enjoyable read. I would highly recommend reading Horn’s commentary in order to better understand and appreciate what they have read and seen in Oh My Goddess!

As I read future volumes of Oh My Goddess!, it will be interesting to see how the series progresses. Knowing that at the time I’m writing this review, there’s already over 40 volumes of Oh My Goddess!, it makes me very curious how Fujishima will be able to keep the story going.

I wrote this review after reading a copy of Oh My Goddess! Volume Three that I checked out through the King County Library System.
