Read the full take

Alone in his dorm on a Saturday night, Keiichi dials a wrong number and reaches the Goddess Technical Help Line. That accident is the premise, and it changes his life in a way he could not have predicted. The series is a romantic comedy built on the everyday comedy of a goddess who fits into ordinary life.The strength is the cast. The characters are memorable and warm, and the relationships give each chapter its personality. The humour is breezy, and the series has real charm even when its plots wander.The weaknesses are clear. The style and humour feel dated by modern standards, and the long run has arcs that vary in quality. Some readers may find the central romance slow to resolve.Recommended for fans of classic romantic comedy with a supernatural flair. Expect a long, cosy journey.
