Ah! My Goddess Collection is a commemorative book released in 2004 by Kondansha as a celebration of the 15th anniversary of Oh My Goddess!. It never saw an official English release.
Contents[]
While nominally an artbook, only 48 of its 352 pages contain artwork by Kosuke Fujishima. Of these, most of them are illustrations of the manga's volume covers or other related products, and a few other colored pages. In contrast the book contains much refrence information.
Collection begins with a small foldout poster of the five goddesses Belldandy, Urd, Skuld, Peorth, Lind, as well as Hild, Megumi and Chihiro in swimsuits (a collage of frequently displayed swimsuit illustrations, as Fujishima himself said in the manga artbook, "doesn't everyone like bikinis, this illustration [Belldandy in a bikini] has been printed so often, it became clear to me that 'really everyone likes swimsuits'.").
On the backside of it, there is a diagram called "correlation map", that illustrates the relationships between the more important characters. It features the Morisato family, the five goddesses (as well as Lind's angels Coolmint and Spearmint), the demons Hild, Marller and Welsper, and also Chihiro. The love relationships indicated on it are Keiichi and Belldandy, Skuld and Sentaro, and Banpei and Sigel (this one only in one direction - Banpei to Sigel - with a question mark in the other direction.)
The foreword is an interview with Fujishima. "Digest", the first chapter, summarizes selected chapters of volumes 1 to 29. The next few chapters "Belldandy", "Urd" and "Skuld" focus on the respective goddesses and their specific talents and hobbies, all with some kind of reference to specific events and the chapters in which they occured. Maybe now is a good point to mention that while not many romanic words appear, they help to clarify the intended translated spellings at the time of the publication of this book. The most discussed one probably is Lind (spelled exactly this way) with her angels Coolmint and Spearmint. Just for completeness, the book gives us Belldandy with Holy Bell, Urd and World of Elegance, Skuld and Noble Scarlet as well as Peorth and Gorgeous Rose. More interesting are Sentaro and Troubadour. On the demon side, we have Hild, Welsper.
