Well, I've let my backlog of chapters build up incredibly. I was at 226 the last time I checked, sooo...
227 - Oh Elsie, dead last in more ways than one <_<, and Vintage's plot makes a little more sense. And Keima being Keima can probably already see the ending (also, that panel near the end? Holy fuck shotacon alert!)
228 - I just love the short skit with Keima as TV anchor (and Tenri, 7 years old, student, while Elsie, 300+ years old, civil servant? PFFFFTTT! At least we have an age for Elsie now I think?). And oh GODDESS, I find myself strangely (wrongly?) attracted to Keima's crossdressing. OH GODDESS.
229 - Elsie with a Pinocchio nose is brilliant. Also, I guess now she's a fashionista making all those costumes? (with the way the mangaka draws his girls, you forget they're all 6 to 8 here!) Poor Tenri though at the end of the chapter (also, she was wearing a catgirl swimsuit costume? Does that even work?)
230 - Ayumi Takahara shows up in name only, impostor Keima? The plot thickens...
231 - Kaori does her heel-face-turn early on in the chapter, but using her knee to quickly deduce Keima's true gender like that...scary lady! Scarier than the part about her making a deal with a devil, anyways.
232 - A short chapter with a slapstick ending.
233 - OMG it's Tobi! Or not. OMG it's Hiei! Or not. I wonder if the chokers Jagen-eye dude is placing has anything to do with that one teacher of Keima's choker she wears. And then Keima makes the badass boast that only he can make.
234 - Keima, it's a lot easier to make bold declarations like that if you're not over a foot shorter and practically a shota compared to the one you're intending to conquer. After Kaori's outburst though, I guess he'll just have to adjust for that most difficult of routes...the yandere.
235 - Oh man, Kaori is devious (but not as devious as God!)
236 - A Romeo and Juliet bout sounds interesting...meanwhile Keima continues setting off the yandere flags in Kaori.

237 - Can't believe Keima is getting cold feet over a kiss. And dat cliffhanger. Another fake?
238 - And Kaori gets her plan to work. For at least this chapter.
239 - Da fuq? Ayumi sure got paler as she grew up into a teen. And now the girl is chasing the boy :O
240 - Another interlude chapter with Shiori and Tsukiyo. Eeeh. But at least Shiori is intelligent to deduce Tsukiyo has a goddess. Meanwhile Ayumi actually takes out a Vintage member!
241 - Keima trips another yandere flag. Careful, God!
242 - Man, another couple of chapters like this and I may actually be convinced to change my OTP from KeimaHaqua to KeimaHaquaTenri. Also, who didn't expect something of this ilk to occur? EVERYBODY would be pissed if the author threw a reset on like the last twenty chapters just for the game analogue.
243 - Yep, very close to changing my OTP :wub:
244 - I still can't get over how dark-skinned Ayumi is right now, when she's so much paler in the future. Also, I'm lucky I wasn't drinking anything when Keima says "BECAUSE I'M A TIME TRAVELER!" or else I may have spit it out.
245 - AAA+++ rendition of Romeo & Juliet, better than Romeo + Juliet, would watch 10x. Also I see Keima has everything planned out for Tenri. How long before he moves into Magnificent Bastard territory?
246 - 'In this era, I might even have been an honor student'. Poor Elsie LOL. And now Dokurou-chan is getting involved in the story again :wub:
247 - Man, that Kaori...she really is a demoness herself, isn't she? Also, I might yet have to start including Dokurou-chan in my OTP.
248 - Keima-kun's ideal world includes Yokkyun in it...and unfortunately Kaori, you're no Yokkyun. But oh wow, God gives a pretty good "The reason you suck" speech!

Chapter 260
Okay, so the world just ended. Now what? I'm still not sure why everyone's putting so much hope of Keima either. What good is he gonna be in a war? Will he seduce the enemy leader or something?

Well timelord Tenri seems to be there so maybe she needs to assist Keima with fixing the timeline. If they could get an extra life like Keima had in the past that would do the trick.
If this ends of being Keima needs to recreate everything I hope we at least get some scenes of a paradise world of gal games.

NO. No, please not this! As much as I like Keima, the guy considers things done & over with as soon as the conquest is over. He's damn good at the chase and winning, but right after? He just drops it.
Hmmm... actually, that IS a good point. A gal game is over as soon as you get the girl. Canonically, have we seen Keima do anything with his conquests? Even a kiss or going out or something? It's been shown that Keima does get embarrassed if a girl comes close to him or is in some interesting pose, so the guy is attracted towards females. Has he ever tried acting on that? Even to a small degree?
For all his laziness & complaining, I do consider him to be a good son. His mother is one lucky lady.

Which is a real pity. I would like to see how canon Keima deals with an actual relationship, post-conquest. From what I can tell, that's exactly what the girls around him (who got their memories back) want too.
Some points we come close to the answer is like this;
http://www.batoto.net/read/_/419/the-world-god-only-knows_v13_ch125_by_red-hawk-scans/5
http://www.batoto.net/read/_/419/the-world-god-only-knows_v13_ch125_by_red-hawk-scans/6
when Yui flat-out confesses to him. The very next page however;
http://www.batoto.net/read/_/419/the-world-god-only-knows_v13_ch125_by_red-hawk-scans/7
Haqua ruins the moment and Kiema hugs her in relief. While he does look terrified, I think its a matter of him not knowing what to do with the emotions running within himself (an irony, when you consider what he does to his conquests)
Then into the Goddess arc, when they are trying to find out which girls are hosting the Goddesses, Chihiro does this;
(Keima asks her when she started liking him)
http://www.batoto.net/read/_/50461/the-world-god-only-knows_v17_ch166_by_red-hawk-scans/7
(She says a time well BEFORE the conquest)
http://www.batoto.net/read/_/50461/the-world-god-only-knows_v17_ch166_by_red-hawk-scans/8
http://www.batoto.net/read/_/50461/the-world-god-only-knows_v17_ch166_by_red-hawk-scans/9
A few moments later, Keima dumps her;
http://www.batoto.net/read/_/50461/the-world-god-only-knows_v17_ch166_by_red-hawk-scans/15
And finally, after the Goddess arc is over we have Keima brooding;
http://www.batoto.net/read/_/103813/the-world-god-only-knows_v19_ch189_by_red-hawk-scans/18
Where is basically says (to no-one) that he didn't mean what he said to Chihiro.
Which makes me cheer for those two as the OTP for this series. :wub:

Well, Keima doesn't remember her, and even if he did, he would've not recognized her (probably). There's also the possibility that she acted like that to keep her identity from Keima. It must've been a tough act, not being able to show who you really are to someone dear to you.
Anyway, looks like the only people who will survive the "time compression" will be the goddesses and their hosts.

Same here... I want to hear that sexy Kuu voice go all Dere! :drool:
Well... there IS that darn note Keima left Tenri that STILL hasn't been read yet!
When in doubt, you cheat and read the faq's... on in this case, the Capture God's notes
Besides, if we all harken back to the start of the Goddess arc...
Present/Teen!Keima does not remember anything before the release of the spirits,
because Present/Teen!Keima was still in Past/Kid!Keima's body (dang temporal dynamics)

we just haven't gotten to the moment (in the past) when he switches back
the hard issue still to be addressed tho... is how they're going to fix the "blank slate" present?

249 - Don't feel too bad Kaori, you only lost to God himself. And noooo, now we lose our onii-chan fetish material
250 - Man, the exposition at the start...and then DAT ending ;_;. Dokurou for harem!
251 - Elsie's 'ability to freeload' is truly a fearsome abilityh43r: Keima's setting up for the future, and damn, that cliffhanger!
252 - And now we're back to pale Ayumi. Lots of comic relief is great right before the end of the chapter, and then Urara's gramps shows up again like a badass!
253 - Old man Shiratori? More like THE GODDAMNED BATMAN! Also, Yui in a nunnery? SHENANIGANS WILL OCCUR! I now want somebody to write a fic about Yui getting up to hijinks in a nunnery.
254 - Haqua reappears! The inner Haqua fanboy in me is pleased :wub: Also holy crap, Haqua breast shadow on this page! And HOOOOOOOOLLLLLLLLLLYYYYYYY SHIIIIIIIIIITTTTT!!!!! SHE'S DOKUROU?! I used to have an appropriate image for this but I lost it. (Also I wish I was in Keima's sleeping position :3)
255 - We finally get to see Elsie's bis sis. 'bout time! Keima's reaction faces are hilarious, btw. More plot exposition, and it means that if Keima ever gets the devils in his harem the family may yet end up with enough children to solve Japan's low fertility problems. And Keima's right about tripping the death flag, Elsie. You're gonna die in the next few chapters now ;_;
256 - Ruh-roh, Lune's on the scene. Also, lol at Shiratori not being sure about whether he should stop Yui from crossdressing.
257 - I sure hope Nikaido didn't actually get two-shotted, but damn. I'm also thinking Rimyuel = Akari with her earlier comment in this chapter. And then more Elsie comic relief at the end...
258 - Badass Nikaido is badass. Badass Yui is badass. :sisi:
259 - Another cliffhanger.
260 - Holy crap 4th wall breaker much?
260.5 - More magical girl Kanon is awesome. Then Keima turning into a fish is hilarious :rofl::rofl::rofl:
