Oh My Goddess 10

I was wondering when I would run across the karaoke duel between Mara and Urd. I love the beginning of this story a lot, but I can’t quite remember how it finishes. I seem to remember it being good all the way through. The karaoke battle is just such a silly thing, and it’s these friendly rivalries and challenges and the not-really-enemies stuff that make me like this series a lot, as lame as that sounds. One thing though: The original adaptation had Urd’s special weakness pegged as polkas, which is much funnier than Enka. I know Enka is being true to the original and all that… but I liked the other joke better.
The softball story at the beginning of the volume is pretty classic Oh My Goddess, too. Having a dream and not giving up on it and using everything in your power to try and get it and all that. It’s a nice story, and it’s hard to hate the laid-back feeling of baseball.
Also in this volume, the story about Keiichi and the little puppy the girls want to adopt is probably still one of my favorites. I think the only thing that could make this series cuter is a puppy, and I also thought that all of Keiichi’s points about the pros and cons of pet ownership are valid.
