I suppose they thought that people would follow the releases as they came out... back when DH started releasing them, there wasn't nearly as big a manga fanbase; they probably had no idea it would cause confusion because all the fans were so hardcore.

it is quite annoying that the publisher doesnt number the volumes, it's like a little smudge in a grand perfect picture, its no big deal but it would certainly help if there is a numbering.
i keep a list of the manga order on paper to help me keep track!

Thats a good idea, I've been depending on websites ^-^ or the picture quality because Belldandys look becomes mroe complex as the mangas are released ^-^ I kinda like that because it shows how her character matures.

yes it's a veri good idea

oh! now that my copy of Sora Unchained has arrived i'll have to add that to my list!

What's Sora Unchained?

Oh! My Goddess Manga story arc concerning mousey NIT motorclub member Hasegawa Sora.

Ohhhhhhhhhhh. Thanks. ^_^

Sora Unchained is also the title of the volume 19 book of the english version of the manga.

Very cool. ^_^ I'm debating whether I should buy the manga, or wait and see how much of it the new series covers first. I sure hope they license it quickly!

(hooray! this is the hundredth post!)

oh buy the manga!!!! ^^ it's so great!!! lol and even if the anim covers it... they can't put everything... ^^

From where do you guys buy the manga? Whats an arc and MIT stands for? Please do help fill me in.

actually, I buy most everything from overstock.com. And NIT stands for "Nakomi Institute of Technology".

the new series is loosley following the manga, there are still differences in the story, I still consider the manga better than the animations.
A story "arc" is a story that occurs over several chapters in the manga... it's just a way of indicating certain events in the whole.

Thought so ^-^ So know there is a new series Shora Unchained, that follows Ah my goddess? does thta mean all the characters are still there ^-^? Or based around one thing ^-^?
