Ah! My Goddess/Aa Megami-sama Manga to End in April
posted on 2014-03-19 00:30 EDT
48th & last volume to ship in July with “another ending” drama CD

The May issue of Kodansha’s Monthly Afternoon magazine is announcing on Monday that Kousuke Fujishima is ending his Aa Megami-sama (Ah! My Goddess/Oh My Goddess!) manga in the following issue on April 25. The June issue will also have a “super-important announcement.”

The May issue is further announcing that the 48th and final manga volume will have a 5,000-yen (about US$50) deluxe Limited-Edition Final Box on July 23. The box will include the manga volume itself and an original drama CD. The “another ending Ver.” CD will tell a story that is “a little different from the manga” with the anime adaptation’s four main cast members (Masami Kikuchi as Keiichi Morisato, Kikuko Inoue as Belldandy, Yumi Touma as Urd, Aya Hisakawa as Skuld) and others.

The exclusive full-color box will also contain a full-color, miniature 1 to 4 no Aida (Between 1 and 4) book with four parts, a full-color booklet with a long interview with Fujishima on his 25 years of memories, and a set of 12 reproduction art pieces (including 10 never included in art collection books). The staff is encouraging fans to send their own messages via postage mail or email by May 30. The staff teases that these messages will be included on the CD or booklet.

Fujishima began the manga in Monthly Afternoon in 1988, and Dark Horse Comics published the 45th manga volume in North America last December. The manga inspired an original video anime series, three television series with a special, and three additional original anime DVDs.

Reaction #1: Holy shit. Is the world coming to an end?

Reaction #2: It’s about fucking time.

I guess Fujishima has finally realized he can’t milk that bitch anymore. The only thing left, is for Keiichi and Belldandy to fuck each other’s brains out.

That’s disappointing, well I hope it has a better ending then Rosario Vampire did

I wish Detective Conan would be brought to a conclusion too

I actually liked the way Rosario + Vampire S2 ended.

Keiichi and Belldandy got married. Yeah… that’s it. No kiss. No hug. No sex. They just basically traded vows, and Keiichi restated his original wish to Belldandy.

Skuld let her sister get married for the promise of popularity and ice cream cake. Terrible ending, but seeing how this series should have ended years ago…

I enjoyed the OVAs, once upon a time. Wasn’t a terribly big fan, but I enjoyed them. (This would have been very shortly after I got into anime in general; if I tried to watch them now I don’t know how I’d react.) Few years after that I tried to read the manga. Just couldn’t get into it at all.

It does feel weird knowing that a series that had been going since before I became a fan only just ended this year, but I just could never get into it.
