The World God Only Knows (manga thread)

[Von Himmel]

It doesn't actually matter even if Ayumi or Chihiro doesn't have a goddess... I think their behavior recently shows that they are attracted to Keima. Having a goddess doesn't always symbolize their love for Keima. It's not like not having a goddess means that you don't love Keima anymore, right ?

I think if they don't have a goddess but still have a feeling for Keima, it'll be a good twist because it shows that 'outside' people (those who are not involved in demon - goddess plot) can still regain their feelings to Keima.

[Clarste]

They've never lost the feelings, they just lost the memories and are confused as to why they have the feelings. That's been shown since chapter 1.

[Xacual]

I don't know if we'll see a Goddess in any girl not associated with Keima, though it's possible. We've been told multiple times that capturing the spirits using love to fill the gaps is unwieldy and even Hakua doesn't understand how Keima can do it without leaving possibilities for the gap to reappear. Since the Goddesses regain their power on love it might be odd to have one not be in one of Keima's capture. My though of an exception to this would depend on how sensitive that radar is. Can it pick up goddesses that are inside a girl but dormant? Then we could have an arc where the radar picks up a goddess but the girl never had a loose spirit which would then require Keima make the girl fall for him to awaken the goddess.

P.S- Please no spoilers of course

Spoiler for first novel:

The novel started with Keima saying that he hates to capture denpa-kei (not that he can't though)
Amami Tooru, cosplaying as an angel, saves Keima from fire, later in hospital, Keima knows that she is a denpa-kei and has heavy delusional-syndrome. Capture starts, but after a date she disappear and never show up again. (Skull radar should have been able to detect where she is, but looks like the novel author doesn't know about this).
In the same time, skull radar detects runaway spirit in one of Keima's classmate, Yoshino Asami. Keima told LC to search for Tooru, while he go to Asami. Send Asami home, she went in to the house and get out of the house again, but now become lively.
Etc etc, and...

Spoiler for capture spoiler:

In the capture, Tooru directly saw Keima kissed Asami, made her gap wider.

Can it pick up goddesses that are inside a girl but dormant?

I think the radar only able to detect the goddess when they use their strength. It detects Diana after she tried to pull the knife off using her power. Keima need to do something to trigger the goddess first.

"Just one kiss, kiss will do."

Thus, Keima must... Kiss Kiss Kiss.


P.S. 'Tis most romantic for the maiden to not have a Goddess.

[GlancingReverse]

The goddess is in Keima's mom after her capture by Keima's dad?

More honestly, it's probably a character that hasn't appeared since their arc.

[KROMEangel]

OH GEEZ, if it's Keima's mom, that'll be all kinds of awkward.


.....wait.

That would be a perfect excuse to bring back Keima's dad.

I vote for this outcome actually.

Goddess or no goddess, they will still have their feeling for Keima. But having a goddess means a regular appearance and a definite special status. Except 2-B pencil members, the other girls have really small re-appearance ratio. Even Mio re-appear only to fade out forever (actually I hope not).
After this, the heroines will re-appear (hope not for the last time). With this we may be able to decide whether the omake canon or not. Because in the omake, there are things like one of Luna's leg taken by Kusunoki's cat, Shiori writing a book, and many others that can confirm if the manga and omake run in the same scenario.

The goddess is in Keima's mom after her capture by Keima's dad?

That would be impossible, because the goddesses released along with the Great Escape 10 years ago. So, even though Keima's mom have a runaway soul in the past, there's no way a goddess attached.

[risingstar3110]

F*** you Keima, since when have you became that cool

Keima is probably the only character that i really detest at the start, but now can't stop him to be my favourite. In fact i don't know if there is any other male character that i will like more than him

Go God!!

Any certain reference to the events or objects in the the omake (mostly 4koma) in the manga, with respect to how it is presented, would substantiate it is part of the canon. However, it would still be on one by one basis.

Spoiler:

List of few other events/objects:
- the badge given to Ayumi by her T&F senior
- the pillar that Ayumi always seem to crash into
- "KANON DOME0808" poster
- the "funereal" flowers in Kusunoki's dojo
- Kusunoki's cat's partner (F)
- the girl's school uniform (w/ the note) given to Keima by Chihiro
- the rolling paper given to Jun by Class 2B

Of course, there were incidents where the fourth wall was broken for comedic effect (Kanon and Chihiro). Nonetheless, it would be sw33t to see it happen (Keima in girl's school uniform, anyone?), but I wouldn't hold my breath.

It wouldn't necessary be impossible, but improbable. Given that the poster did not specify the time frame, you can ask "what if" it the incident happened after the Great Escape.

[karuroso]

To me a goddess basically makes the host atleast 10x more sexier than normal, therefore i can almost guarantee that both Sumire and Jun will be out of question since Diana and Apollo would be overshadowed by those two D=

[bhl88]

For me it's Jupiter (most likely a tall girl: Jun) and Mercury... Or Athena (Jun or sister of martial artist whose name escapes me)

[Francismeunier]

Just started and do wonder which parts will be fan service animated so far.......Mio's arc end was strange but do looking forward how they will do the carriage thing.

You are up to volume 1 chapter 6? Is that the first time Keima shows his true God form?

The best part is the "Hell sandwich" and Elsie break the fourth wall (i have been here since page 4)

PS: completely out of topic, but just realised that Ayumi 's official nickname (as translated) is "Mai High's Unguided Land Missle- Ayumi-chan"
How's true

[Pandabreaker]

I'm still hoping for Ayumi and Chihiro getting into this arc =3=

(And uh, totally off of this discussion, but uh... can someone point me to the image threads for this series o-o? I can't find one and I wanna submit some fanart (no matter how crappy they might be =3=))

(if this has been answered already, I apologize for this. I just didn't take the time to check the last 100 pages)

[KROMEangel]

We have an image thread for this series?





Oh wait. We don't, do we? Shame.

Shame indeed.

If not then I hope someone would start one up soon =3=

[ellifeedn]

If anyone has any images, just post them in the thread (maybe put them in spoiler tags to save space if there are a lot of them or nsfw). Any images are appreciated.

Alright then, might as well start with the ones found in google and DA

Spoiler for serious Keima:

Not my work but someone else from Deviantart that I found.


Here's a start I guess.

(If I'm breaking any rules let me know! asap)

Edit: Thanks to ImaAkami for the correction on who created that pic
