OH! MY GODDESS

WEEKLY GODDESS CHAT # 6

Alicia: Hello and welcome to the conclusion of Goddess Chat "Confidential Confessions" week. Tonight, we're discussing the Confidential Confessions manga volume 1 as a whole. Please welcome Belldandy and Skuld.

Skuld: This manga is disgusting! I can't believe you had me read this.

Alicia: You said you wanted us to treat you like an adult so I gave you an OT (older teen) manga to read and analyze.

Belldandy: I found it... interesting!

Alicia: -- Belldandy?

Belldandy: Yes?

Alicia: You didn't understand a single sentence in the second part did you?

Belldandy: No... not really... What's "prostitution"?

Alicia: -- Belldandy how about you go make us some cookies and forget the chat. Skuld and I can manage on our own.

Belldandy: - Okay! leaves

Alicia: So Skuld... ready to analyze?

Skuld: Sure- It was disgusting! Working as a receptionist in a store of prostitution is just as bad as being the prostitute!

Alicia: I agree. It's totally disgusting to work in a place like that, no matter what your job is.

Skuld: And what kind of girl decides to test her cyanide pills on little kids to make sure the pills are for real!?

Alicia: Yeah Asparagus was a little... messed up...

Skuld: Tell me about it. No normal girl stands there watching her friend cling to the edge of the roof of a 20-story building and says "Let's jump together and commit suicide now."

Alicia: She actually says something different. She says "Let's jump together. It'll have a huge impact if we fall to our deaths together. It'll even be in the newspapers."

Skuld: That doesn't change the fact that she's a loony and a not-so-good friend.

Alicia: If you read the next few pages between the lines you'd see she really is a good friend. On the next few pages, she seems to be calling Manatsu a coward but... if you look past that... she's really telling her, "Think about it. Saying and believing are two different things. Are you just saying you want to die or do you truly want to die?"

Skuld: Let's move on to Yoshioka. Is she messed up or what?

Alicia: Yes very. But I pity her. Her mother was trash, her "friends" treated her like their pet dog, and her life was altogether crummy. Then she finally meets a fantastic sweet gentle guy and she is arrested for prostitution and sent to a reform school. That really stinks.

Skuld: Especially considering her "friend" forced her to go back to prostitution when she really didn't want to.

Alicia: It was like a soap opera though. Ryo bursts into the police station begging them to let Yoshioka go and release her into his custody and the police stand there telling him she's the scum of the earth and a good man like him shouldn't get involved with a screw up like her. Then he says Yoshioka must have had a reason for all the things she did and he wants her to be released into his custody anyway.

Skuld: Yeah Soap Opera City!

Alicia: Ooh! Look at the time! We've gone over again tonight! Well goodbye!

Skuld: Goodbye people!
