Megami ML: Belldandy's Subservience To Keiichi

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
 I don't see where anybody gets the idea that Belldandy is 
 subservient to K1.

It's hard for me to imagine how you can't see it.  She doesn't decide
where he lives.  He takes an opportunity she provides.  As for taking over
his life, Belldandy has, rather, added her life to the benefit of his.
She cooks for him, cleans for him, and does everything a wife would (with
one exception, and we aren't sure she wouldn't be willing to do that too.)
Belldandy would do absolutely anything Keiichi asked of her, and anything
if it were for his sake.  Now, I don't believe that Belldandy is entirely
subservient to Keiichi, but there is indeed that element to their
relationship.  This is a part of Belldandy's role as the "ideal Japanese
wife" which is always quiet, meek, and submissive, but with an underlying
power and reliability.

Well, being a goddess isn't exactly like being a secretary.  It's sort of
a mix between a job and a nationality.  You -are- a god(dess) no matter
what, although there is also a classification system and "job" involved.
