So I've just picked up the new novel and started reading. Haven't gotten too far, but I'm enjoying it so far. Anyone else read it? Or have you even heard of it? ^_^ A short background on it, the story was written by Tohma Yumi (Urd's seiyuu) and was recently published. So now I have yet another thing in my ever growing collection of Aa! Megamisama stuff. Now all I need are some Belldandy figurines....

Yeah, I got lucky. I went into my local Anime store (Animeniacs who will be closing at the end of the year) and they had it in stock. The girl that worked there was telling me that it was just released. Anyway, here's a link to the stores site, hopefully they'll still have it in stock. If not, you might have to try Amazon or BarnesandNoble.com.

Just want to say, it is absolutely fantastic. I'm about 5/6 of the way through now and I have loved every part of it.

*Edit
Okay, so according to Borders/Amazon.com, the book isn't supposed to be released until the 19th of this month. So at the moment, I think the website I provided might be the only place to get it.

Finished it and I must say WOW! Tohma Yumi can sure write. It is absolutely fantastic. Hope you guys get a chance to read it soon. I don't want to spoil anything, so I won't go into it further. But look for it at your local bookstores. It's called Oh! My Goddess - First End - and is written by Tohma Yumi.

I felt the ending to First End was a bit out of character for Bell, when she appeared in the alternate world and saw Keiichi with the Machiner's tools, the thoughts about how she thought she was responsible for their meeting didn't feel like something that would be what Bell would think, she's always said in the Manga how she feels K1 is special and on his own without her influence, also her decision to try and act all goddess like when she rejected him before the time rewind seemed wrong, same with her hesitation at the ringing of the phone, Bell has told Keiichi that if you fear sorrow you can never really love, and that even painful memories aren't things you should forget, her actions in the story contradict that, now I know its a story by Yumi and not Fujishima but it seems like she didn't really get Bell's nature when she worte the story. Even if being with Keiichi meant the end of the universe I don't think she would turn her back on him, she's already been willing to risk the universe for him and admitted that if it came down to a choice she would pick him. Also she knows that Keiichi could find happiness without her, she's even wondered if she might eventually cause him unhappiness, she wants to be with him because of her happiness, hence the reason she magically glued their hands together, so while he might be able to find happiness with another I don't think she would be okay with that, since it would take away her happiness, as we've seen when it comes to K1 she's very selfish and jealous, and she wouldn't be ok with him ending up with someone else even though she might claim that she just wants him to be happy, she wants to be happy as well, and the problem is no one else in the AMG universe would ever make a wish like K1 did. Overall not a bad story, but not up to par with the Manga.
