Oh My Goddess!
Oh My Goddess!, ¡Oh, Mi Diosa!, Ah! My Goddess, 오! 나의 여신님, 幸運女神, Моя Богиня!
Oh My Goddess! (ああっ女神さまっ Aa Megami-sama), also known as Ah! My Goddess!, is a seinen manga series by Kosuke Fujishima currently serialized in Kodansha's monthly Afternoon magazine. It was first published in 1988-08-25 (the September issue). Originally a typical magical girlfriend/ romantic comedy, over time it has grown to feature more action and the latest variant has had a greater focus on developing the mystical aspects of the world in which it is set. There are also four anime offshoots. The title is a pun on the common phrase "Oh my God."
The plot of the manga (and of most OMG series) centers on a good-natured, yet hapless and girlfriend-less college freshman named Keiichi Morisato. He is often imposed upon by his elder dorm-mates and brow-beaten into taking phone messages and doing miscellaneous chores for them. One day, while alone in his dorm, an attempt to relay a message to one of his senior dorm-mates is surprisingly redirected. To his surprise, he discovers that he has actually dialed the number of the Goddess Technical Help Line (literally translated as Goddess Relief Line). Before he can explain his error, a beautiful goddess named Belldandy (Japanese transliteration of the Norse Verðandi) materializes in his room. She tells him that her agency has received a system request from him, and has sent her to grant him one wish. Keiichi is skeptical, thinking it more plausible that his dormmates are playing some manner of practical joke on him. He seeks to defuse the prank by asking Belldandy to stay with him forever, thinking that when the wish was refused, as it must be, he would have turned the tables on them.
