Belldandy's sad expression

Topics Ah! My Goddess Belldandy's sad expression

Those of you who closely follow the manga (that's everyone, right???)...

Has anyone noticed that in the last few volumes of the manga, Bell gets this really sad expression on her face once in a while, and for no real reason. The best example I can think of off the top of my head is in the "Childhood's End" trade after she has a talk with Skuld about falling in love. She seems to have that expression when she's alone, and after talking about love or talking with Chihiro or Sora.

Here's my theory... As one of the Norns (fates), Belldandy has become aware that if by answering Keiichi's call, she has changed the destiny of more people than just Keiichi. Keiichi's too nice a guy not to end up with someone eventually, and I have the impression that it would have been Chihiro (or possibly Sora). Any thoughts on this?

... which volumes are you saying "last few volumes"??? like uhm... 13/15?
ah but it's true Bell has this really sad/nostalgical expression... your theory sounds nice but... being up until volume 28... i can't really tell why she looks like this sometimes... maybe she is aware of something for the future...

Are you referring to the dark horse comics or the japanese mangas?? The last manga from japan had Bell with a stunned look while the one from dark horse, at the part where Keiichi found a job, she had a sad expression.

I offer the theroy that it is possable belldandy is having doubts about K's feelings (immposable for us to consider I know) but Bell is not so simmple and she is still a women, perhaps K should do somthing th reafirm her faith Ie say "I love You"

Amen to that... it would make an interesting parallel... K-1 spent the first 15 volumes (and then some) worrying if the only reason Bell stayed around was because of the contract. He should express his love a lot more often...

well, in vol 30, he even had problem saying a simple " I love U" and had to be trained by peroth( but resulted in a big misunderstanding)......... whereas belldandy said it easily.

giaaaaahhhh!!!! you read volume 30!!! ;_; i want to read it too.... ^^'

i think keichi has a problem with the word "love"... like when peorth fist arrived in the manga, he was literally shocked when she said she loved him... or is it just me?
