So speaking of that ending...
Am I the only guy a little bummed out that literally only Keima, Elsie, the goddesses and hosts, and maybe Dokurou remember Elsie as the 'lil devil and not just Keima's sister? I mean, you would think at least Haqua and Rimyuel could keep their memories since they were pretty much Elsie's closest friend and 'elder sister' in Hell.
I dunno, seems like it's something I'd completely handwave away if ever writing a post-ending fic because Haqua and Elsie did have one of those genuine friendships.

It's pretty clear what Keima wants at the end.
Pretty sure she'll forgive him considering that last conversation. Not immediately, he'll have to work for it, and considering the end it seems like he'll put out at least some effort eventually.
The other girls will probably forgive him, but not without some pain. Especially considering the situation and how he pretty much saved the world, even if he was a bastard about how he went about it.
Some will probably remain friends with him, others will probably not want to speak with him. I doubt anyone is really angry with him considering all of them know about the situation he was dealing with. I really don't see the ending as a he's screwed type of harem ending. The only real bump I forsee for him is if Tsukyo's Goddess goes full on Yandere on him, and I think Tsukyo would reign her in at the end of the day, but probably not before Keima suffers a bit.
The endgame matchup is pretty obvious assuming Keima gets what he wants. Especially considering he ends up turning off his games and walking into the real world willingly. Though, I doubt that means he'll give up his addiction entirely. He has developed a liking for the real world at least, though he'll probably never admit it.
He's actually pretty refreshing as a harem lead character. He's neither stupid and overly strong, or a complete wimp emotionally.
Honestly, the full harem ending is fun to imagine, but it seems to me like the show itself does everything but hang neon signs around Chihiro that say "She's the Matchup" on them.

Chihiro's specs aren't exactly stellar either. She's shown to be shallow, directionless bitch and calling her "plain jane" would be too kind. Chihiro half-halfheartedly attempts things and moves on, giving up at the slightest difficulties while bemoaning her fate. It's not surprising that girl like that would fall for a guy that's living the life exactly how he wants.
Well, considering we were discussing funny alternatives fic pairings to how the manga ended. I don't get why you bring up the canon winner in a discussion that started with the conditional "if you ignore the Chihiro end"?
It is pretty clear that she won since the whole half of the last chapter was about the resolution that Keima has to get his ending even if you completely want to view in someway else. It was pretty open and shut with an actual door open and closing.
