Now that I reflect upon my fanhood of 'Ah! Megamisama', I've
realized just how much I have learned from that remarkable series.
	At the age of 15 when I still believed that romance was a silly
thing that had no relevance to my young age, I came across some nice
pics of Belldandy in back-issues of the well-known Hong Kong anime
magazine A-Club.
	Wow. Beautiful. But for the most part, I ignored it; the
impression stayed in my mind though. A year later and by some fancy
(perhaps it was Kami-sama?) I went to my local manga bookshop determined
to find Ah! Megamisama. At this time I had no idea if there was a
manga for that series at all. (I knew only pics from the anime)
	As luck had it, I came across a pile of them. Naturally wary of
a new and as-yet untested series, I bought volumes 6-9.
	Volume 6 made me wonder if I had made the right choice in buying
the 4 volumes, although it contained artwork similar to the anime shots
I saw. The 'terrible master Urd' story was somewaht similar to a Dragon
Ball Z story, and I wanted nothing to do with that shallow series.
	I persisted. (What else could I do? I bought 4 volumes of it)
The next story about Skuld vs. Megumi was interesting. Then came my
favourite AMG manga chapter, the 'Little Adventurer Urd' chapter.
	That got me hooked. It was touching, and what I would expect
from a series I've hoped to buy.
	Now, 12 volumes and 1 year later, I've learned to emulate
Keiichi's kindness and Belldandy's universal love. It made me a better
and more helpful person, not the caustic-tongued and selfish one I
used to be.
	My manga drawing skills also recieved a critical boost from
drawing the 3 beautiful norns. I now have enviable manga drawing skills
as some of my classmates put it, and a kinder, more refined eye for art
in things around me.
	The series emphasized a 'love your enemy' attitude, and showed
that enemies not as stereotyped 'bad guys' but normal entities with the
same feelings as everyone else. Needless to say, I just couldn't bring
myself to hate anyone anymore.
	If you have witnessed the joy that Ah! Megamisama is, you will
know and have experienced what I have; and if you have yet to do so, I
truly recommend Kosuke's work of art!
	Truly, through the goddesses, I have learned how to be more
human than 12 years of moral education from a fellow human.
