The scanlations are at chapter 47; so, I guess you'd have the read the raws from chapter 48. The manga currently is at chapter 55.

TWoGK was originally a one shot manga. Only when the publisher liked it and great reception was it made into a series.

The plot elements were tweaked such as Elsee having the attention span of a five year old and girls loosing their memory of Keima.

Oh yes in the series Elsee is disappointing in the chest area.

Looks like the translations are suddenly picking up speed, a new consecutive release just within 24 hours.

... I think we have Hakua to "blame" for the rise in speed

Spoiler for Ep 48:

Wow, the old woman is more interesting than i expect....

Haha Keima's immune with seeing a naked girl stepping into the bath while he's in there.
"I've already guessed this event could happen". That's Keima for you

He didn't even have a change in facial expression seeing Hakua like that. He must experience that a million of times before....in games.....

[Smile Nipaa]

Mii~ The series is really good! I love the main character, he really reminds me of an otaku version of Lelouch with glasses. He's so funny though, hee!

[blade82]

the mangaka seems a fan of Akira Toriyama see the cap and the milk's brand name

[Bonta Kun]

don't know about the cap but Gokult!

Yakult!

awesome, love that stuff!

Keima's complete unfazed nature with the bathroom scene is brilliant!

we really need a anime for this, it would win the internet!

Umm... well, the very first thing that came to mind when I saw that cap was... Dr. Slump. Yay?

It was 15? I counted half only about half in jars, but then I don't know what they were saying.

Slow and steady, as Hakua said there are many ways to fill the gap in the heart not just love.
Hakua's partner was slowly filling the gap, by befriending them, day by day during her milk delivery round. This is only my guess based on the raws.

Spoiler for How many Yukie caught:

They managed to drive 4 spirits out a week later.

Very slow and steady it seems, both Keima and Yukie started around the same time (3 months ago), which means that it takes more than 3 months of continuous delivery to obtain any results.

Note that it is the demon not the human-partner who finds the escaped spirits. This means Hakua (who found 15 in such a short time) is much more diligent about her task than Elsee who didn't realize that there is an escaped spirit loose until she got permanent marker all over Keima's PFP.

Since demons don't get to choose their partner, Elsee definitely lucked out having Keima assigned to her. Firetruck-spotting Elsee would have fared much worse than Hakua if she were assigned to to someone like Yukie.

I'm having trouble deciding whether Keima is lucky to be assigned to Elsee:
- On one hand, had Keima and Hakua been assigned together, Keima wouldn't have ANY time to play his games due to the number of spirits being located.
- On the other hand, Keima would still have both parents if it weren't for Elsee.

[FateAnomaly]

Somehow whoever assign the partner is pretty good at that job. Keima and Hakua wouldn't work well together. They both have a superior attitude that will surely cause them to fall out a lot. Then Elsee and Yukie are both pretty laidback in their attitude. The current arrangement works out pretty well imo.

Spoiler for 56:

Hakua's back And new devil hotness along with some catfights, this is going to be good.

Meanwhile, poor Kami-sama is limited to one panel this week

heh if this manga ever gets turned into a anime. I would love the Voice actor of leouch to play him

[Bonta Kun]

Spoiler for ch 49:

well this chapter was cool, some insight to other ways of capture and some great shenanigans from Keima and Hakua. Keima really does have Hakua dancing in the palm of his hand
I'm now hoping Keima will try to capture multiple spirits at once later on, that will be awesome!!

Spoiler for 56 RAW:

well thats nice little chapter, we get to see some other demon catchers. I'll be honest I really like that dark-skinned one she's hawt!

My take on whats going on, seems theres a reward ceremony and I believe Elsee actually wins this one!

...but she's no where to be seen, as she being all Elsee

On the contrary, from this recent chapter, it seems that Keima is one of the few people who Hakua would actually listen to. In many ways the dynamic between Keima and Hakua is superior to that between Keima and Elsee. Elsee may have learned to respect Keima, but Hakua actually learns from him. (Elsee: not so much).

The only downside to a Keima-Hakua partnership would be that Keima would receive about 4 times more physical punishment.
At least Hakua wouldn't force him to eat handwiches or walking sushi.

[Shibs]

Loved the insight about Hakua
Actually I really liked the new way of capturing spirits, Harvest Moon style
However I don't see Keima using it at all, too boring

[LeaD36]

Remember the internet chapter with Keima? He Might go Online and give Love advice, or appear live on TV, announcing to give any girl a good time, thus releasing all the sealed spirits ;P
