| Manga is good. Story was good. But the ending... I can literally see the ending, and I wish I never did. It felt rushed and a huge mess with little sense to it, dropping the "Elsie is the big bad demon the unknown useless antagonists that we never met wanted to resurrect all this time for w/e purpose" straight out of nowhere, all this for Keima to end up with the girl that didn't appear for who knows how long while leaving all the other schyzophrenic girls still fawning on him with no resolution.
Seriously, who'd pick Chihiro amongst all the girls he seduced(he never even captured her technically speaking)? She has nothing going for her compared to the others, and made no appearance in the Jupiter arc, so I just feel he basically picked her 'cause she cried. Yeah yeah, she represents reality and symbolizes Keima's acceptance of the real, but he might as well have stuck with Yokkyun if things were going to end like this. Also, why does she accept after he dumped her in such a harsh way and conquered other girls right under her nose? Grow some self-esteem already. And finally, Elsie became a massive plothole for Chihiro's sake, Haqua ends up losing literally everything due to that as well. Way to treat the two characters that were there since the beginning. I wasn't shipping anyone, but that's definitely not the kind of ending I was expecting. Manga could've well stopped after the goddess' arc, and I'd have been fine with it. But the way it went after the goddess' arc, it feels the author just tried to add to the story by bullshitting his way through, and that he cared less and less as time passed by. This kind of ending isn't easy on my nerves, and it's always frustrating to see what I considered a great work getting more and more serious and further from what initially drew me in. Oh well, I'm salty but not without reasons. It just doesn't feel conclusive and there was just too much BS in Jupiter arc for my taste. |

| Peaceful conclusion after the shitstorm that occurred around Keima. I didn't ship Keima with anyone (except Tenri, but this would have been quite an unlikely end, except for fanservice). Chihiro was perhaps a logical conclusion, she is the one who really made Keima regret what he has to do, and the one that he regretted bettraying the most. Elsie... well, I found that on the last arcs she was often left on the side, so I lost a bit of the affection I had to her in the first half of the manga. I know what she's supposed to be and how she was "summoned", but the last events in the story remain half-explained about her (why she disappeared when the device broke or how she rewrote to put herself in Kaima's familly without altering previous events). A great story, so great that another chapter for the epilogue for side characters would have been much needed. |

Oh well, I'm salty but not without reasons. It just doesn't feel conclusive and there was just too much BS in Jupiter arc for my taste. Late reply. I agree.. I finished this years ago and i felt like theres stuff that missing and it was like Axed? It conclude almost nothing to the Vintage and Goddess story. Elcie randomly wish to became Keima's Sister, Haqua gone and return same goes to Nikaido, Literally all Jupiter Goddesses talk each other about future and then ship sinks abruptly like that as if nothing ever happened not even given a proper chapter to close it. Even Wikia doesnt explain a thing about it. I dont remember a thing after the "Return to past" or Heart Jupiter Arc thing it probably was the downhill arc in entire series. There was almost no Protagonist because they were late introduced to the point they didnt even made it out to the end aside from "1 Dimensional" vintage characters and Lune which literally also dumped. I feel sad about the series tbh. It does supposed to be and on Goddesses Revival arc. |
| today i learned that 268 chapters aren't enough for such a great story. i only read it on my way to/from work, during breaks etc so it took me a few weeks to reach the end but still, for me it was an aweome story, i love the characters (except that Keima still didn't lose his gaming-addiction at the end) and how the story went, yet it's quite sad that there wasn't a happy end for everyone. might've been better if the goddesses would've been able to leave the bodies and wipe their hosts memories about everything that happened |

| Really really good manga. 9/10 I found so much enjoyment in reading this.. The end was a bit short or rather rushed I guess but the base it gave is good. Keima x Chihiro simply is the best ship for the ending close above Keima x Tenri but it couldn't be helped, hints were dropped the whole time after all. I do wish to know whats with Kaori 10 years after because it feels like there could've been something more with her. |

| I actually first picked this manga way back in 2013, before it was ending, at the time I didnt made it from the first few chapters, years later now finishing this manga, it is a very special feeling, anyone can agree how plain (but decent) the start is, it was an humble beggining that didnt hit for much. Yet the mangaka managed to create this much, his creativity is to be applauded (sucks he never did anything else worth while after this). Aside chapters around 225-255 which IMO were the worst of the last arc, the "heroine" was really lame, once the TWOK hit around chapter 50, it just keep improving and improving, giving us Godness arc that lived to my expecations and then really warping it all up in a way that connects everything since the beggining... did the mangaka planned this from the start?! If so, he did some amazing planning here, good lord. Once I was around the last 2 volumes, and started to see the dots connecting, Sensei being Dokuro, what Tenri knew and told Diana, genius. While we can argue this arc was a bit rushed, it was surely planned to end like this, and the mangaka must be praised, because aside a few downs, this was a worthwhile ending to just a monumental series, that started with the simple premise of dating and conquering girls! Insane how good the plot was, and I have always said, and will say, as an "harem" manga, it has some of the best cast of girls around, and a very unique and distintive art and design for each, when compared to other manga. I will base myself on Urara to make a point of my biggest negative with the series... alot of build for an arc, for a girl, to very quickly dropped her and go to something else! I mean it is impossible to not have the best girl rate changed over and over during the series, but some girls are clearly superior than others, Urara was such a great addiction, to follow up with such a disappointment that was Kaori's, sure at least it avoids being preditable, but I wanted to see way more of Urara, to my dismay. The Godness status was brilliant in fixing this, for some of the best girls, making them permanent and vital, but you obviously can do it for all of them, and then you have Yui, which was such a promising one, pre and during conquest (seeing Keima turn into a female and Yui making him blush like that, was really fun), but the aftermatch of her conquest left her in a state that is all but a shadow and a total reversion of what she was, she felt like too much like a comic relief character to me, she was so cute, I wanted to see her being more shy, timid and moe again. As for my ultimate best girl status... I still think that Diana is it for me, but with so many characters nearing the conclusion, she really didnt get much time, Tenri felt much more needed and important than Diana.- Aside her, I always enjoyed Kanon, even more so with Apollo, her indian make up looks so wild, lively and cute! And Ayumi... the mangaka really brought her back to live since being the first girl, she was the oldest here to be captured, the first one, and I had lost most my interest on her, and even her Godness Mercury isnt that interesting, but the development Ayami had during this arc was stellar and it ended me with not caring and even liking if they both ended up together! But that role belonged to Chihiro, and I m fine with it, it was foreshadowed, and I already knew either way, she ending with Keima, lets be honest, she did far well enough to deserve the love, she was awesome in her own way, and if only she looked a bit more cute, I m sure there would be more people into her. Dunno how can people favorite Elsie, but that twist of her being the suposed last boss came out of nowhere, but was surely interesting, a cool conection again to the beggining of the series, but here, I did feel it had potential to be a bit more developed thus delivering even more shock factor (it was also cool that Elsie decided to stay as his sister by the end). I didnt follow the release of this manga and that was for the best, binge reading 260 chapters over 2 years, over three different sessions of around a week each, was an immense pleasure, and while I dont share the same adoration of Keima as many do, overall this cast was amazing, and I will leave this with alot of down right awesome memories. This is how you make something that seems plain, excell, take it much further than we all could imagine, and just make it a fucking insane ride with an ending that leaves you in peace and just happy you picked and finished such a manga. 9.2/10 = 9 |

| My ship sunk. Was rooting for Tenri oh well. |
| What a ride. The whole series could be divided as three long arcs, which are the runaway spirit arc, the goddess arc, and the past arc. My favorite is indeed the runaway spirit one. It has various great moments in each its smaller arc. The goddess arc is nice. If I were to describe it's more like a bridge to connect itself to something more ambitious. The past arc, is a bit too long and sometimes could be hindering, but at the last moment I still think that it was worth the time. It gives off a nice ending to the whole series. Nikaidokurou is really lovely, Yui, Nagase, and Haqua are my favorites, and the thing with Tenri is really heartbreaking, but I don't hate the ending with Chihiro. I mean, it's not that illogical considering the interaction between Keima and her. Overall, it's an 8/10 |

| Glad to know that Chihiro was the girl Keima ultimately pick. Been rooting for her since the Rooftop scene/chapter lol. Overall, satisfied with the conclusion of this manga even though it felt a bit rushed. The World God Only Knows is probably the only series in the whole anime & manga Harem genre that I can confidently say I loved and can recommend to other people. 8/10 |
 I accept random friend requests! |
| Damn, My ship sunk... Felt bad about my girl Tenri, she waited for 10 years |
 It's useless! From here on, the path is only a One-way road! Just put your tail between your legs and get your ass back where you came from! - Accelerator |
| Eeeeh this whole last arc was quite dull tbh, expecially compared to the previous one about Goddesses. I didn't enjoy reading about little boy Keima's quests as much. Even the stakes have gotten waaaay too high for this type of series - saving the world from destruction, seriously? This should have stayed chill, fun school life comedy with supernatural elements. Regarding Keima's choice at the end... Didn't even mind it that much honestly, his relationship with Chihiro felt at least genuine from the start. She isn't close to being my favourite heroine or anything, but I have no reason to hate it either. I kinda wish more time was given to Elsie, especially given that reveal near the end... What else can I say, I really enjoyed this manga up to the Goddesses arc, sadly the quality went downhill in the last few volumes. The ending also was kind of lackluster after all these 26 volumes. I'm gonna miss Keima for sure, he deserved more complex ending, and some more development after all he had been through! 7/10 |
  |
| Holy shit this ending sucks ass! Not only the heroine chosen doesn't make sense but it left more plotholes than the ones it filled! Its also such a drastic change in theme and it became something completely different from the TWGOK I liked. And what the hell was that BS with elsie the author must be day dreaming lol. Ngl I honestly wish it ended on the goddess arc if this is what was going to follow |
 |
| Aside from Keima's explanation in this chapter on why she chose Chihiro, I think another reason may be that he wanted to reconcile with her after what happened (specifically, he rejected her at the school rooftop) during the Old Conquest arc. I feel bad for the hosts of the goddesses, especially Tenri, for not ending up with Keima (I think that if ever one of them ended up with Keima, it might cause infighting between them. Maybe that's why Keima chose a "third-party", which is Chihiro). Also, I felt that the Heart of Jupiter arc was kinda unnecessary in terms of the fact that Keima needed to go to the past to connect it to the present time. Despite this, I also liked some things in this story arc: Nikaido-sensei was Dokuro all along, Elsie's true identity (really a shocker, kinda like an asspull), and Keima's adventures 10 yrs ago. Well, so much for that. Thanks Tamiki Wakaki-sensei! |

| A really good romance harem manga. Probably the peak of it with a definite answer to who the winner is. Too bad, I really want to read more about after match between Keima and Chihiro. At my first read through, I didn't like Chihiro become the winner, but on the second read, I understand why. Keima and Chihiro are the one who get hurt the most during the events, that's why they're deserved each other. I will give it a 10/10 for a romance harem manga, and a 9.5/10 overall. |
cyclone1993 said: That was a pretty fantastic ending, and wrapped up the story quite well. Every character got a resolution in one form or another (save maybe Haqua and Nora, but still) Plus Keima ended up with the girl who was best for him, and it does make sense to why he fell in love with her, she's the only one he couldn't predict, the only one who wouldn't become boring in the end. She would always leave him guessing, and in a way, that's what makes relationships interesting. Still sad about Tenri, but I'm glad Wakaki had the guts to actually have Keima end up with someone! The last part of this arc felt really rushed, but the ending made up for it. It was a wonderful ride full of emotions, intelligence, and humor. Its a story I will not easily forget! I really wish it would get a US release, I'd like to own this wonderful series, but alas... Plus to further add to the emotion of the finale, I listened to Memory of my First Love, and it about destroyed me... 9/10 Thanks for the memories! Couldn't have worded it any better. |
| Had a slow unflattering start and peaked at the momentous goddess arc.This was the high time for twgok.A 10/10 manga if it carried that fervent passion till the end.But it went downhill after that.Plots juxtaposed together without any strong backing prior,the conversations wayward ,gaping plots holes left open .Last but not the least would be the choice of heroine.That excuse which author picked up is best fit for generic sol romcoms with idiotic mc/fmcs ,it doesn't fit here ,coupled with little to no development on that front. Overall a 7.5/10 |
