Oh My Goddess 12
Posted: August 4, 2009 Filed under: Oh My Goddess! 2 Comments »Kosuke Fujishima – Dark Horse – 2009 (2nd ed) – 40+ volumes
note: this new edition contains material from “The Fourth Goddess” (2001), unnumbered, but 12th in the original unflipped graphic novel lineup.
I reviewed this book for the Manga Minis column at Manga Recon, so you can check out my review over there.
Truthfully, I didn’t bother to check how many volumes Oh My Goddess was actually up to. I assume it’s 40 at this point.
And yeah, I still like it, which is all I have to report outside of what I wrote in that review. The only other thing that bears mentioning is that… wasn’t Peorth’s angel called “Le Rose Magnifique” in the original editions? She’s called Gorgeous Rose here, and the internet seems to substantiate this, as does Oh My Goddess Colors, which usually mentions changes from edition to edition. I prefer “Le Rose Magnifique” since I like Peorth’s French language tendencies, and I had a whole thing written up about it, but I can’t find any evidence that was what she was called and I don’t have my older editions here with me. Maybe I just hallucinated that name.
-Maybe I just hallucinated that name.-
*Flips through* No, you’re right, it used to be Le Rose Magnifique :)
Great, I thought so. I could see it on the page, and I was so bummed when I saw it was changed because that name is just so lyrical, but I thought it was crazy that there was no sign of that noted anywhere on the internet. Thanks for checking!
