Granted one wish by the charming young goddess Belldandy - a wish for anything in the world - Keiichi wishes she would stay with him always! Complications are bound to ensue from this; the immediate first being the new couple getting tossed out of the dorm - it's males only! As the hapless student and his mysterious "foreign beauty" ride around looking for a new place to stay - risking the different dangers of seeking shelter with an otaku convinced Belldandy is an imaginary woman, and a Zen priest convinced she's a sinister witch - Keiichi's still got his classes on Monday morning!

Then his "buddies" in the club stake Bell-chan as the wager in a funnybike race - but Keiichi has trouble seeing the humor when it starts coming apart at high speed! After all this, Keiichi just wants to relax and watch some home videos... except this video introduces (literally) a second goddess into his life - Belldandy's "sophisticated" older sister, Urd!

Authors

Yuzo Takada

Author · 10 books

Yuzo Takada (real name Yuji Takada or in Japanese 高田裕三 ) was born in 1963 in Tokyo, Japan. At University he joined the Manga society and one of his illustrations was soon spotted by an editor, who asked him to write a story for Japanese publisher Kodansha's monthly Young Magazine. Takada created a number of popular risque romantic comedy titles, including Tokonatsu Bank and Tour Conductor Nikumori, before moving on to his flagship "ghosts and monsters" story 3x3 Eyes. 3x3 Eyes began in 1987 and the incredibly popular series continued for over fifteen years, racking up an impressive 40 collected volumes in Japan before ending in early 2003. 3x3 Eyes is pretty popular in the UK and America, despite only eight volumes of the manga being released in English. 3x3 Eyes was also serialised for several years by Dark Horse Comics in their monthly magazine Super Manga Blast!. He has also experienced success with a number of anime based on his work, including the comedy All Purpose Cultural Cat Girl Nuku Nuku and the fantasy epic Blue Seed. The first few volumes of 3x3 Eyes were also made into a four part OAV series in the early 1990's, with an extra three episodes added in the mid 90's, and although constant rumours of further episodes persist, sadly none have yet proved true. Since the end of the 3x3 Eyes manga Yuzo Takada has moved on to several short stories, including the hospital drama "The Booking Life" and"Ultraman" — the First, a manga featuring Japan's ever-popular superhero. Aside from manga, Yuzo Takada is also a respected freelance illustrator and has produced cover illustrations for several Gundam soundtrack albums.
