The tide has turned in Goon's war against the undead hordes of the Zombie Priest-or has it? With Buzzard now preventing the harvest of any fresh corpses from the cemetery, the Priest grows desperate.

Ever since a cosmic phone call brought the four literal young goddesses Belldandy, Urd, Skuld-and, like an occasional vowel, Peorth-to live in college student Keiichi's residence, his personal life has been turned upside down, sideways, and sometimes even into strange dimensions! The appearance of the Fifth Goddess has heralded a darker turn in the story-as we are reminded that behind the adorable form of chibi-Hild lies a fearsome demonic intent. Her surprise attack on the goddesses begins by unleashing the beast Tenshikui, the Eater of Angels, which strips the angelic companions from Urd and Peorth's bodies! The stricken pair cannot survive long in this state . . . and Belldandy is the next target. But the Fifth Goddess is of a different order than her comrades-not a Norn, but a grim Valkyrie, she stands holding a long axe to defend the fallen! (immagine) Categoria: Books: graphic novels
