Gr 7 Up—From the initial meeting in which Keiichi (a mortal) meets Belldandy (one of a trio of goddess sisters) and she grants his wish (that she be his girlfriend forever) to the final volume, Keiichi and Belldandy's love has traversed decades. In spite of Belldandy's meddlesome goddess sisters and several years (and many volumes) of facing and passing many tests, the time to join together in matrimonial bliss has come. However, as readers of this series have come to expect, there is always some mishap or blunder to overcome. In the final installment of this romantic comedy, Keiichi and Belldandy have a limited amount of time and a dimension to travel to make it to Earth in time for their wedding. The question driving the plot of the final volume of America's longest-running manga is, will they make it in time?
VERDICT Recommended for older teen fans of the series; not a stand-alone.
