My Goddess! It premiered in the November [1] issue of Afternoon where it is still being serialized. As the manga's popularity increased, a five-episode original video animation Oh My Goddess!: v. 28 was made based on it. Keiichi Morisato is a good-natured, yet hapless and girlfriend-less college freshman who is often imposed upon by his elder dorm-mates and brow-beaten into taking phone messages and doing miscellaneous chores for them. One day, while alone in his dorm, he accidentally calls the Goddess Technical Help Line and a beautiful goddess named Belldandy materializes in his room. She tells him that her agency has received a system request from him, so she has been sent to grant him a single wish. Skeptical and thinking someone is playing a practical joke on him, he wishes that she stay with him forever. To his surprise, his wish is granted. Belldandy must stay with him, but as his dormitory is strictly male-only, they are both forced onto the street. They set off on his motorcycle to find alternative shelter, eventually seeking cover in an old Buddhist temple. In the morning, they are greeted by the temple's sole inhabitant, a young monkwho welcomes Oh My Goddess!: v. 28 and gives them permission to stay until they can find permanent lodging. He immediately puts them to work maintaining the temple grounds, but when he sees Belldandy use her powers to save Keiichi from injury, he begins to fear that she may be a demon or sorceress. He is eventually convinced of Belldandy's intrinsic goodness when he witnesses her solicitous care of the temple premises and her perfect meditation ritual. When he Oh My Goddess!: v. 28 to go on a pilgrimage to Indiathe priest gives the couple permission Oh My Goddess!: v. 28 remain in the temple so long as they continue to maintain it. The Oh My Goddess! Three worlds are presented—Heaven, Hell, and Earth. It seems apparent that many other worlds also exist. Heaven is the realm of the Lord and goddesses, Hell is the realm of Daimakaicho and demons, and Earth is the realm of humans. Reality is controlled by an enormous and complex computer system, named Yggdrasil. Each goddess is assigned Class, Category, and Limitations. Class indicates power Oh My Goddess!: v. 28 skill in performing pure magic. Only First Class better and Second Class lesser are cited. First Class goddesses are held to a stricter standard regarding the prohibition to lie. Goddesses may be penalized, even having their license suspended for Oh My Goddess!: v. 28 time, for dereliction of duty. A goddess using her powers during suspension will have her license permanently revoked. Due to safety concerns regarding their enormous powers, goddesses wear power limiters, usually in the form of jewelry, such as earrings or Oh My Goddess!: v. 28. It is said that a Goddess First Class at full power could easily destroy the Earth, if not careful. Belldandy 's power limiter is the second clasp on her left ear. The goddesses' purpose is to bring happiness to everyone around them. Toward that end, heaven has created the Goddess Technical Help Line also called Goddess Relief Agencydesigned to bring happiness to the people of Earth, especially those with great Oh My Goddess!: v. 28 but terrible misfortune. A competing institution, named the Earth Assistance Center, also is staffed by goddesses. The wish must be approved by the system, after which a contract is created between the human and the goddess and stored on the Yggdrasil system as a file. The wish contract file is protected by a passcode known to the Goddess. Demons have similar class and license restrictions, and are accompanied by familiars instead of angels. A seal exists between the demon world and Earth, named the Gate to the Netherworld. It was "created by the gods and can only be broken by an instrument of the gods. The demons possess a system similar to Yggdrasilnamed Nidhogg. Both demons and goddesses possess the power to seal beings away. The demons also operate in a fashion similar to goddesses by creating contracts with humans and offering them wishes, but often at a price. A goddess does not have an angel automatically, but receives one in egg form. When her power matures, the egg hatches into an angel, becoming a lifetime companion. Other creatures that exist in the Earth plane are a multitude of spirits that are responsible for almost every aspect of life. These include the spirits of Money, Wind, Engine and such. More specific entities include Oh My Goddess!: v. 28 spirits, which are guardians over a specific area of land. Morgan le Faya villain from the movie, is probably a high ranking Earth spirit or a being from another dimension, but that is less likely because her tragic love story with a human must have happened on Earth who demonstrates great strength fighting Belldandy and Urdeven though her powers are less potent than the ones of goddesses of their level.
