About The World God Only Knows

The World God Only Knows (神のみぞ知るセカイ) arrives as a comedy anime by Manglobe (2010), and the premise is easy to summarize. The premise: Keima is a dating sim champion. Cute girls are rendered powerless by his irresistible game playing techniques.

Next up: Too bad things aren't that way in the real realm. That is, until his tempting game playing causes a real live—and very bubbly-cute—demon hunter named Elsie to materialize! Now Elsie wants Keima to help her free hot girls from sneaky demons who secretly possess them.

In a comedy series like this, timing, character chemistry and running gags decide whether it lands. Voice work is led by Hiro Shimono as Keima Katsuragi and Kanae Itou as Elucia de Lute Ima. It will appeal most to viewers who want something light between heavier series. The run is 12 episodes in total, so you know what you are signing up for.
