Apparently the spirits only hide in the hearts of girls and the only way to get the souls out is by making the girl fall in love so the spirit gets forced out. And he’s not allowed to fail or he will lose his head.

Anyone reading this awesome manga besides me? Its very well written and mainly about the otamegane wooing girls to free them from evil spirits.

I have read up to chapter 3(latest scans so far). I was laughing so hard with the stereotypical description of the tsundere. Definitely a must read.

Keima reminds me of Lelouch, but with glasses. And for a demon girl from hell, Elsee is waaay too cute. Her reaction to Keima's "confession" was priceless :heh:

Nice recommendation, I'll definitely be following this one :cool:

Irenicus 2008-05-25 16:24

I don't really like the "otaku" jokes (in the sense that the main character sees the world through otaku eyes -- zomg dating sim girls and all that) but otherwise this is turning out to be quite funny.

I mean, aside from the fact that he's an otamegane, that guy actually is a lot more interesting than most of the male romantic comedy leads. He's not a perverted wuss, doesn't look like one, isn't being surrounded by girls for no apparent reason (except one lonely demon girl who thinks he's a god :)) and has some thick skin to boot.

Compare this to, say, Maken-ki, which was posted on onemanga around the same time; the lead from that manga just disgusts me with the ultra-obvious "I look like a motherf'ing wimp and I act like one!"

Chapter 2 was the best to me though. "I'm the illegitimate child of your husband," oh sh- :heh:

Yeah, he reminds me of Lelouch as well

ellifeedn 2008-05-25 19:09

I'm interested:). Before I start, do you know how many raw chapters are released so far?

nadare 2008-05-26 04:20

According to manga updates its 4. Since, its released weekly I suppose the number should be around 5-6.

Xacual 2008-05-26 04:55

I find the series to be pretty amusing so far. If it keeps me laughing I'll probably keep reading it. Also I agree with Irenicus about Chapter 2, really funny there.

TOP 2008-05-26 19:33

Awesome series so far, one of the mangas I look foward to.

nadare 2008-05-29 23:12

chapter 4 was great. LOL @ the 1st class bicycle turning into a car then a train bicycle.

Freeter 2008-05-30 00:37

LOL, Keima was even more like Lelouch in this chapter. If they ever make this an anime, they have to get Jun Fukuyama to play him :cool:

TOP 2008-05-30 00:50

Chapter 4 was good. Can't wait for chapter 5!

Westlo 2008-05-30 02:55

Bearshare told me to check this out and the first chapter was pretty damn fun. Thanks to this thread I've been using the Lelouch voice in my head for Keima but I have to admit it definitely fits lol Hopefully Fukuyama or Miyano get to play this guy if it gets an animated version in a few years time.

Leon_Lelouch 2008-05-30 09:53

Haha... This manga is interesting.... (since he has no interest with real girl that remind me about myself....)
Yeah... A bit reminding me of Lelouch when I see his style...
Agree with Westlo about voice casting (if it's in anime).....
Well... I will look forward to see about the next chapter....

Westlo 2008-05-30 10:03

Read all 4 chapters now, this is a real fun manga and I'm really enjoying it... K.Rie has to play the rich/poor Tsundere chick if this turns into an anime.

technomo12 2008-05-30 23:24

hmm it strike me like this

AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! what a geniuse hahaha still i cant help but feel sorry for many heart broken girls hahahaha

ellifeedn 2008-05-31 07:59

The girls aren't heart broken, they don't remember what happened after the spirits are removed and don't know that Keima doesn't really care about them.


A note of warning to all: You should not use the method that Keima uses to win girls' hearts in real life, which is playing thousands(?) of dating simulator games for experience and using that to romance girls.

Though I'm speaking from a realistic point of view, I'm sure that people aren't desparate enough to attempt that, right?

Riker 2008-05-31 11:09

Oh wow, haven't loled this much recently. Ok I'm hooked.

technomo12 2008-05-31 11:49

yeah that is why i feel sorry for them cuz even if the memory is lost the experience of love is still lingers in their hearts hehehe

dam this author he really is a geniuse

Deathkillz 2008-05-31 16:20

"I AM GOD!!!!!"

Lol...for those who get that I just had to shout it out XD

Thanks to a certain someone, I am also joining the bandwagon >.>

This is what happens when you mix code geass, gurren lagann and otakuism.

Otaku lulu and lil' Yoko :D

technomo12 2008-06-01 06:12

LOLS

WHO DO YOU THINK WE ARE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


hahah GOD only knows hahahaha

ellifeedn 2008-06-01 19:32

Because there are numerous types of characters in dating games, I'm sure that someone with enough time on their hands will make a list of the different types of characters that Keima will encounter. I don't know much about dating games and the like, but would your mom (in the game) be one such character:twitch:? (You don't have to answer if you don't want to:uhoh:.)

nadare 2008-06-01 20:24

lol no... Its only up to sisters at best. I don't recall any aunts or anything like that either.

Let's hope his mother is a step mother, then.

tzia_n 2008-06-02 07:46

i wonder what's happening to keima's dad lol

d-one 2008-06-02 08:10

^

well he never can come back again:p

especially if sometime later he must seduce his mother:heh:

technomo12 2008-06-02 20:41

hahah nice thought there hahahha (groping scenes ahhaha)

TOP 2008-06-02 21:28

I was just joking when I said he would have to seduce his mother, but...

Now that I think about it, it really seems likely to happen. :heh: I can totally see it happening, too.

ellifeedn 2008-06-02 21:43

There could be obstacles to winning his mom's heart like if his mom decides to remarry.


Goddammit, these thoughts of a mom loving her son makes it feel like some dirty hentai story:eyespin:.

weren´t the spirits supposed to be reborn in the child of each woman?

Wasn't it that the spirits become the children of the women? I'll check again later.

Edit: Yeah, I'm right. http://www.onemanga.com/The_World_God_Only_Knows/3/06/

tzia_n 2008-06-03 03:22

so do they possess the unborn child or something like a virgin birth can happen :eyespin:

but i guess there likely wont be an instance where the spirit really gets reincarnated
