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 means 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.
