I was full sail on Keima X Kanon since the first season, but ending this season I believe Keima X Chihiro is probably the best one.

BTW, where is the harem option? In the end, isn't that the BEST best ending?

Chihiro is the best. Scenes with Chihiro were best of whole third season.
Though it a bit seems like end of their relationship I can't accept it! I truly believe that someday after all these action arcs mangaka will return to Chihiro rout. please. i will cry, if he won't.

One could make an argument for many of the girls to be the one he winds up with at the end. Perhaps it's Tenri because she's the childhood friend and has loved him the longest, or maybe it's Haqua because she is the only one who loves him that he didn't actually conquer. Maybe it's Chihiro because she's the one who is most like him, and she also loved him before his conquest of her. Kanon on the other hand is his opposite and opposites can attract. She's also the only one who calls him by his first name (i think). Yui's the aggressive one who could quite well badger him into dating her, and Ayumi is the one who (kinda) married him and did so regardless of his secret shenanigans and motivations. So who knows, there are lots of potentials, i think the one's i listed are the most likely. Personally, i don't think he winds up with anyone. He has to keep conquering girls until the 60k loose souls are captured, and he can't really make girls fall in love with him while he's got a girl waiting at home. But if it were my choice, i'd like to see him get with Haqua. I love her. Or second choice Kanon. I love her too.

For me it's like: Chihiro>Ayumi>Yui>Kanon>Tenri>Shiori>Tsukiyo

Haqua and Elsie not included cause they are demon and no human.

I honestly have no clue who I ship. Every time that I try to figure that out, I end up coming up with good reasons for almost all the girls. I would just go with harem option, but I don't want that either because you can't really call that "love".

And I think that the demons, Elsie and Haqua, and the goddess Diana should be included for sure in the running for "best girl" because all three of them quite obviously love Keima. I'm always quick to pick a "best girl", but I guess since all of them got relatively similar screen time it's hard to distinguish between them.

Even tough not a solid Chihiro shipper and by judging both anime and manga, she have more chemistry with Keima.

It was Keima x Kanon in S1, but that was before Chihiro came along. Then I jumped ship and headed straight for S.S. Chihiro. Great choice in hindsight :3

IT'S OVERTHINKING TIME! (My favorite kind of time!)

In terms of narrative structure, the only girls that make sense as final pairings are Haqua, Tenri, and (perhaps by retcon) Chihiro, since they are the only ones whose love for Keima developed without being the target of a conquest. It would be awfully hollow for the takeaway message of TWGOK to be that you can find "true" love by reducing IRL people to archetypes found in media and then roleplaying the perfect partner, actively avoiding being your authentic self.

With regard to compatibility, narrowed to those three, Chihiro likes him for no apparent reason; Haqua seems to like him mostly for his unexpected valor and the skills (perceptiveness, thoughtfulness, dedication) he demonstrates when he's "at work," to some degree in spite of his relentless gaming obsession; and Tenri, on the other hand, likes him for who he is at his core, including his relentless gaming obsession. This suggests Tenri is more compatible, though Haqua could help Keima "develop" more, if becoming more "normal" is even a good or desirable thing for Keima without us arbitrarily pushing our ideals on him. Part of what makes Keima an interesting character in the first place is his resistance to that very notion, so that leads me back to Tenri. Chihiro's compatibility hinges mostly on the notion that opposites attract, and that's pretty flimsy.

On an emotional level, though, the only girls he's showed an inkling of attraction to are Yui and Chihiro, and they are the only girls to really take the initiative with him. However, he thinks his attraction to Yui is merely a superficial aftereffect of her conquest, so we can dismiss that. And my opinion of his attraction to Chihiro is that it's more guilt (over breaking her heart) than love, something he hasn't had to feel in a real-world relationship before. She does challenge his core idea of what love and romance are more so than any other character, which gives a relationship between them some amount of narrative meaning. Ultimately, Keima's experience with dating sims leads him to view romance as a narrative device, fulfilling a functional purpose in character development primarily by healing that character's psychological wounds. This is a core principle of dating sims; that there is always a reason for love. Otherwise dating sims wouldn't feel like coherent stories but rather like a series of coincidences. If TWGOK wants to poke fun at the core elements of such games, then Chihiro is where TWGOK goes from poking to jabbing, because her affection is without proximate cause and no longer serves a narrative purpose after her Loose Soul arc. She's already put herself on a self-sustaining path to character growth, so there's no narrative reason for her to want to love or be loved. But that's how she feels, period, end of story. That is just completely incompatible with Keima's worldview, and arguably more realistic. And so she might force Keima to grow as a person in order to reconcile that, unless of course he were to chalk it up to the real world being a confusing mess not worthy of respect, which would be authentic to his character as noted earlier.

Ultimately, Chihiro does end up making the most sense, followed by Tenri and then Haqua. I don't really like that conclusion because I didn't like Chihiro in the manga, but, for what it's worth, she seemed to turn out more likable in the anime. Also, the author seemed very committed to making sure she fulfilled the best narrative role on every front. This is ironic, because one of Chihiro's narrative roles is to provide a counterpoint to the idea that having a narrative role is important. If we really took that message to heart, the best pairing would be Keima x Miyako or another side character, someone who's as far off the radar as possible without simply not being a part of the story.

But Shiori is clearly best girl, followed by Kanon and Haqua. So there.

After season 3, mostly because of Haqua was caring about Keima's health and wanting to bring him some candies from Hell, I started rooting for her so badly. I thought Chihiro's feelings for Keima a bit forced, while Haqua's feelings was always legit, as a tsundere who always liked him in secret but never insulted or humiliated him in front of a lot of people.

So, my ship is Keima x Haqua <3 !!

This is the second harem series after 5toubun in which i can't decide the best shipping. So i'm fine with anyone.

Although at one point in the 3rd season i wanted him to be with Kanon.

I'll go with Chihiro 'cuz she got refused and exposed to heartbreak many times by Katsuragi. At least that was for anime, I'll read the manga and see what to choose.

This is my most to least favorite ship :
Haqua→Ayumi→Chihiro→Shiori→Kanon→Tenri→Tsukiyo→Elsie→Yui

I know Haqua and Elsie are not human, but I like their chemistry with Keima. In the end, they are all likeable character and deserve the best (except Yui for my taste ✌🏾 )
