The World God Only Knows (神のみぞ知るセカイ)

What's your problem?

Resistance is futile...

You're such an idiot!

How did you know I was here?

Fate moves in a straight line.

I-I think that

I'm in love...

with you!

That makes ten thousand heroines conquered.

No dating sim can stand against me.

Enjoying your video game, Katsuragi?

Katsuragi Keima.

What could be more fun than my class?

Sorry. Please wait for me to reach a save point.

Maijima Academy

High School / Middle School

Why did she have to hit me?

My games aren't disturbing anybody.

My name is Katsuragi Keima.

Seventeen years old, born on June 6th, 11:29:35 AM.

My interests?

Girls.

Heads up, dweeb!

My PFP!

Sorry about that.

When I say I'm interested in girls, I don't mean that kind!

Hey, dweeb.

Sorry, but could you clean the roof by yourself today?

Huh?

I mean...

Unlike you, I'm totally busy.

How oblivious can she be?

I have to prepare for this upcoming meet!

Cleaning should be left to people with nothing else to do,

Asking a favor, after running into and insulting me?

if you know what I mean.

Zip

Don't be ridiculous!

I absolutely refuse!

All Yours

Damn it...

That girl makes no sense at all.

Paper Only Knows

She should follow the example of girls in games.

Papyrisia: "Paper is produced by combining vegetative fibers with an alkaline solution, into a pulp to be dried into sheets."

I'm only attracted to girls in games.

Reality is just a crappy game!

Help! My name is Sakura. The other day, you gave me some advice. I'm now stuck in another game. I can't seem to win Shiori Shiroko from Aki-iro. I hope that you can help me again. Thank you very much. - Konoha Sakura

Hey, God of Conquest here.

Hello. Thank you for your recent help. I'm also playing a game called Goth Goth Panic, but I'm having difficulty progressing. Could you offer some pointers?

Looks like everyone's having trouble with Goth Goth Panic.

Aki-iro is a good game.

Hello, God of Conquest! I always visit your site.

If you're looking for advice...

Clattering

That's right.

I needn't concern myself with

how absurd and irrational the real world is.

I am the God of Conquest...

A god of the gaming world!

Okay, on to the next one.

Hmm?

Dear God of Conquest,

Dear God of Conquest, I've heard that you can conquer any woman. On the off-chance that this is true, I have a girl for you. Reply Don't press the button if you can't do it. Dokuro Skull

I've heard that you can conquer any woman.

On the off-chance that this is true, I have a girl for you.

What? This message sounds like a challenge.

Who do you think I am?

A god never backs down.

Thank you for signing the contract, Divine One.

Then off we go!

To hunt down loose souls!

Um...

When I ran a wide-range scan, there was a response...

Calm down...

Don't succumb to reality...

First, I need to save...

Okay, let's sort this out.

First, who are you?

I'm Elucia de Lut Ima.

Everyone calls me Elci.

I'm a demon sent from Hell,

as part of the Loose Souls team.

Oh, and what might this mean?

There is an ostensible elegance...

Yoshida Miyamoto

Oh, right...

Today's Thursday?

I'll go buy a game.

Please wait!

If you aren't careful,

you'll lose your head.

My head?

What's with this collar?

You signed a contract with a demon.

A demon?

You received the contract, yes?

From Dokuro, the bureau chief?

That message?!

Contracts in Hell are very strict, so you'll need to be careful.

If you fail to meet the conditions

or break the contract without permission,

the collar will activate

and remove your head.

That's ridiculous!

Get this thing off me!

It'll be fine!

Once we round up the loose souls, it'll be removed!

Loose souls?

H-Here comes a loose soul!

Pat Pat

Now come this way, Divine One.

That girl in front!

That's, uh...

She's in my class. Takahara Ayumi, I think...

Wait! What's that?!

Evil souls that escaped from Hell...

Loose Souls

Loose souls.

They've come to the surface to commit more evil acts.

Then go capture it!

Well...

It's not that simple.

After all, loose souls hide within the heart.

Within the heart?

How are you supposed to capture them then?!

That's why we need the assistance of a human "buddy."

In other words, you just have to take its place in her heart.

Then the loose soul will be forced to leave.

And...

And the best way to insert yourself into her heart...

is to make her fall in love with you!

You're telling me to conquer a real girl?!

Um, well...

A kiss will suffice...

You moron!

You've got this totally wrong!

I've never even held hands with a real girl!

My world only needs the girls from games.

That's awful...

Just awful, Divine One!

I didn't realize you were the god of playing video games!

Anyway, now that that's cleared up,

get this collar off me.

I'm sorry. I can't do that.

What?!

To make up for it, I'll die with you...

We're both bound by the contract...

When the buddy dies, the demon also loses her head.

The World Runs on Love

Whoosh

Aw...

And there's a loose spirit right within my grasp...

Keep it down.

I'm making a list of games to replay before I lose my head.

Um, Divine One?

Aren't you the God of Conquest?

Maybe you could do the same thing in real life that you do with the girls in games?

Don't mix games and reality.

That's supposed to be a track team?

They couldn't be further from the mark.

From the mark?

None of them...

None of them have their hair tied up!

Huh? Hair?

But that doesn't matter-

Don't be ridiculous!

Track team girls are supposed to tie their hair up!

Honestly, don't they realize that the spirit of track

lies in the hair band?

Um, doesn't that only apply to games...

I can't conquer a girl who doesn't put the effort in.

Oh! Divine One!

Look! Look! Look!

Okay! Time to get serious!

She tied her hair up, Divine One!

Th-That won't be enough.
