Title: Oh My Goddess!

Author/Illustrator: Kosuke Fujishima

College student Keiichi Morisato is down on his luck until he accidentally calls the Goddess Techinical Helpline, which promptly sends him the Goddess Belldandy to grant one wish. Not knowing what to wish for, he jokingly says that he would Belldandy to be by his side always. Before either of them can stop it, the wish goes through and is granted, leaving Keiichi with a beautiful, stranded Goddess in his dorm. This wouldn't be much of a problem if women were allowed in, but he is quickly found out and given the required boot by his friends from the Motor Club, a renegade group of oddballs with a love for anything that can be driven. At a loss of where to go, Keiichi stops by a few of his other friends' places, but all of them have their eyes on his gorgeous Goddess, so he and Belldandy end up taking refuge at what Keiichi thought was an abandoned shrine. However, it is occupied by a Buddhist Priest that is convinced Belldandy is a demon. But after seeing many of the miracles Belldandy can perform, he decides she must have achieved true perfection and that he must leave the shrine in her care while he takes another self enlightening journey. This leaves Belldandy and Keiichi with a new, albeit odd, home, but Keiichi still has much more to worry about. The contract he formed with Belldandy means she has to be near him at all times or bad things will happen. This results in Belldandy placing herself in Keiichi's college, which gets all the girls annoyed at her perfection and all the guys mad at Keiichi for landing such a babe. Even with a Goddess at his side, life is everything but perfect for Keiichi, with insane rivals, suspicious teachers, and possibly even more Goddesses to handle. What's an average guy like Keiichi to do?

I picked this manga up because it looked amusing.

I finished this manga because it was hilarious.

I'd give this book to any guy down on his luck or anyone who enjoys slapstick comedy.
