Morisato
Keiichi's University Career Time Line

AUTHOR'S
NOTES
|
|
| |
This
is one of my primary research tools, it's
an attempt to place the various stories
within Keiichi's school career. While not
absolutely accurate, I've found it useful
and thought others might too. It does put
the stories into perspective. Some months
are known from statements, activities, or
dates in the stories, some Dark Horse, others
independent translations. Others are determined
by holidays and weather conditions. I've
also limited it to the Dark Horse released
material, although the Japanese released
material doesn't really extend it much.
(My
other research table is a combined release
table comparing Kodansha releases against
Dark Horse, both idividual stories and TPBs,
and referenced to the OAV and movie developement
and releases and Mr. Fujishima's other activities
(Piano, YUA, games, etc.) It's a little
larger.)
IMPORTANT
NOTES
> Spring break runs from mid-February
to the end of March.
> Summer break runs from mid-July to
mid-September.
> Winter break runs from late December
to early January.
> University entrance exams - March
> Major school festivals (the sort depicted)
are in spring and fall. (i.e. welcoming
ceremonies in April, Golden Week April 29-May
5, school/university festivals in Oct./Nov.)
> All other international holidays are
on their usual dates.
> Cherry blossom festivals late March,
April, early May (start March 21st, mostly
in April)
> Plum trees blossom from mid-February
to mid-March
> Most snowfall is in February
> For those who've wondered, Tanabata

Dark Horse TPB number
K - Kodansha
chapter number
Between
Kodansha chapter number 47 and 76 there
is a sort of "Temporal Anomaly"
where some story sets appear to be out of
sequence. Internal date references and background
evidence seems to indicate they should be
in the sequence I've listed them. I'll explain
this further at the end of the timeline.
I've
tried to include all the hard evidence (calenders,
verbal statements, activities) for my dating
a story when I did.

INTRODUCTION
FROM G2G
|
|
| |
In
line with Gateway to the Goddesses' goal
of providing detailed information about
the anime and manga series Ah! My Goddess,
G2G is proud to host Morisato Keiichi's
University Career Timeline. This impressive
piece of work was originally posted in the
Dark Horse Forums by Timotheus and was reformatted
and reprinted with permission.
|
|
| |
To
complete the timeline further, I've added
the recent untranslated Japanese chapters.
In this regard, the website Nekomi
Kodai has been an invaluable resource.
I've also taken the liberty of adding additional
information not found in the original text
as well as stressing the arc divisions further.
All formatting of the original text was
done by me.

Explanation
for "Temporal Anomaly"
|
|
| |
First, I want to make it clear
that the stories of Oh/Ah! My Goddess! are meant to
be read in the Kodansha chapter order given, 1 to
197+. While the earlier ones were for the most part
stand-alones, the later ones are more interelated
even when they're not an actual "arc".
Now
I'm not saying anyone (Kodansha or Dark Horse) got
the story sequence messed up, but rather that Mr.
Fujishima sorta lost track of time in the course of
Keiichi's fourth year. The only reason I've scrambled
their order is that my intention is to create a time
line of Keiichi's school career, so I had to intermix
these chapters.
Keiichi's
fourth year is covered by the sequence of stories
from "Robot Confrontation" (Kodansha #40)
through "Never Let Go" (Kodansha #90). Yet
if you follow these chapters in sequence you'll go
through two season cycles and school years. Hence
one year of school covers two years of story time.
So
either Keiichi and Sayoko (and everyone else in the
motorclub) got held back or Mr. Fujishima just kept
writting the story without realizing how much story
time was passing (He is a busy man). My guess is he
had the stories roughed out and just set them in whatever
time of year he finally finished them in until he
realized it was past time for Keiichi to graduate.
Then he came up with his solution to that problem
and started off again.
To
make my point, this would be the correct sequence
of chapters for the fourth year. As you can see they
cover two years story time.
Kodansha
chapters 40 through 47 - April through July
Kodansha chapter 48 - August (Forgotten Promise)
Kodansha chapters 49 through 50 - September (Meet
Me At The Seashore)
Kodansha chapters 51 through 59 - October to June
following year
(school work, plum trees blossom, fall to cold to
spring weather)
Kodansha chapters 60 through 65 - July and August
(Demon Urd Arc)
Kodansha chapters 66 through 75 - August and September
(Peorth Arc)
(summer weather, school starting)
Kodansha chapters 76 through 88 - September throgh
November
(school starts, Chihiro Arc, K-1 finds out he can't
graduate)
Kodansha chapters 89 through 90 - March and April
(Whirlwind Opens)
