Talk:List of Oh My Goddess! manga chapters

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I'm not sure what this article needs, exactly, but it definitely needs something! Any ideas? It's a great idea, and I think we need to find a way of making it really work. Any way I can help, I'll do my best. --Dyplung 00:21, 29 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Incorrect table

I'm pretty sure that the table is incorrect. It implies that there are some chapters that have different numbers in different editions. In fact, different editions include different numbers of chapters - the central column should have different rowspans, and the three numbering columns are useless. I'll make a start at this and hopefully other people can help out. DenisMoskowitz 01:38, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

Okay, I completed the re-spanning of the unflipped books. We still need to go through and remove the "DH#" and "DH2#" columns entirely, and rename "K#" to "#", but I'll let someone else do that. DenisMoskowitz 02:54, 21 March 2007 (UTC)
Or not - I just went ahead and did it myself. This table should be more maintainable going forward. Some of the chapter names are still unofficial translations rather than the Dark Horse names, but I'll put off fixing that for some other day. DenisMoskowitz 11:55, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

The flipped releases (called DH) did in fact have different chapters in the volumes, one of the main reason I started this article was to show the rather complicated order of the manga flipped version compared to the Japanese and unflipped version. As you might see the volumes wasn't even released in order by Dark Horse in the beginning, and they didn't want to split chapters with the same storyline, hence the different number of chapters compared to the original manga.

I don't think we disagree. Do you think it's correct now? One thing that I think this article could use would be a brief explanation of the DH publishing history, perhaps above the table. There should probably also be a description of the original collection, "1-555-GODDESS", which was replaced by the first 3 volumes. It was published in November 1996, has an ISBN of 1-56971-207-7, and contains chapters 1, 14, 17, 18, 19, and 20. Also, would it be worth adding the collection names?

and then you repeat the above format for DH1--88wolfmaster 20:59, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

This would mean that every chapter would be listed twice - do you really think that would be preferable? DenisMoskowitz 22:24, 2 April 2007 (UTC)
