The World God Only Knows

Keima Katsuragi is celebrated online as the “God of Conquest,” a master of winning hearts—so long as they belong to heroines in dating sim games. Offscreen, he’s a devoted galge otaku who prefers the certainty of two-dimensional romance to the messiness of real life.

After smugly accepting an anonymous challenge, Keima is tricked into partnering with Elucia “Elsie” de Lute Ima, an earnest little demon tasked with recapturing escaped evil spirits now hiding among humans. The catch: the only way to draw them out is for Keima to do what he avoids at all costs—successfully “conquer” real girls. Bound to Elsie by a lethal collar, he’s forced to apply his game-honed strategies to unpredictable, three-dimensional hearts, putting his reputation to a far more daunting test.
