Summary: great book
Comment: I'd heard of this before, but I didn't know any details. Keiichi Morisato dials a wrong number and ends up magically bound to the goddess Belldandy. The art in this book is lovely, and many of the stories are hilarious. Belldandy is probably the nicest person/celestial being I've ever seen in a comic, and the way people reacted to her was really funny. I can't wait to get my hands on more "Oh My Goddess" books.

Summary: Start With This Book
Comment: I saw the 5-part OAV (original animation video) "Oh My Goddess" DVD's and was very impressed. However, because the series was so short, I went online to see if there was a manga (Japanese comic book) series since most anime is from manga.
Enter "Wrong Number" done by Dark Horse Comics. This should replace the "555-Goddess" book previously done since this contains the chapters that were not included in that original book 1. People who've watched the OAV's will see the major elements from the first and second videos done in this book. However, there are notable differences such as a monk that lived in the temple that Belldandy and Keiichi end up living in. We are introduced to the following characters:
Keiichi (the guy with the wish), Belldandy (the goddess), Tamiya (large classmate), Aoyama (cool classmate), Sayoko (the girl jealous of Belldandy), and Megumi (Keiichi's sister).
One thing people who've seen the OAV will be surprised at is the art. Belldandy doesn't look like she does in the OAV. Much like many other comic strips or comic books, Fujuishima-san had not yet refined the artwork. Don't worry, the artwork gets better with each volume.
Story-wise, this volume mainly focuses on Keiichi and Belldandy getting to know each other and their life at college.
Bottom line: If you loved the "Oh My Goddess" DVD set, you will REALLY enjoy this manga and all of the manga's in this series. If you've never seen the OAV's but want wholesome, light reading material, get this book!

Summary: A Great visual novel. Belldandy is a delight!
Comment: Reading this visual novel by Kosuke Fujishima was a treat, indeed! Consider its beginning: Keiichi Morisato, a loser student phones for a pizza, but gets the goddess help line instead and is offered a single wish. His choice: for a goddess to stay with him always! He thus is paired with the goddess Belldandy, and experiences a series of hilarious misadventures beginning with their being kicked out of his dorm room. However, this allowed him to leave the company of his loutish housemates in preference for the company of a real goddess.
Belldandy and Keiichi encounter some surprising characters: an otaku (obsessive anime fan), a priest with an unusual mastery, a feckless, forlorn lover, a queen bee of a university scene, and the manipulative little sister! These episodes set the stage for explaining circumstances that were unclear in previously-published works. We find out more about our two main characters, including the abilities of Belldandy.
The motif of a girl or woman with preternatural or magical capacities is found in other Japanese manga works, notably the equally delightful Lum Urusei Yatsura. But Belldandy is unfailingly pleasant and serene: a true goddess in her patience with Keiichi and with the sometimes difficult ways of humans. This provides an effective device for critiquing the ways of humanity and for exploring philosophical questions.
While Fujishima did change his style in later episodes, I found that his style in these early stories was also engaging. Belldandy is beautiful, and sweet. The artwork is interesting and dynamic: worth the price of the book in itself. I recommend this book 100% and suspect that it might serve to lift up the spirits of someone who is having a bad day. It does for me!
