Manga: Kami nomi zo shiru sekai
Kami nomi zo shiru sekai – The world only god knows, is a manga that has recently started in Shounen Sunday by author Wakaki Tamiki (who has no money). The manga is about 17 year old student Katsuragi Keima who is apparently the god of galge and has already conquered 10,000 girls in galge.
Katsuragi Keima is known on the net as the god of getting the girls while in real life he’s known as otamegane and he hates all real girls. However he is approached by Erushii, a devil from hell, to help her in catching runaway spirits that hide in people.
So apparently the spirits only hide in the hearts of girls and the only way to get the souls out is by making the girl fall in love so the spirit gets forced out. And he’s not allowed to fail or he will lose his head.
He has trouble with real girls at first, but soon he finds that with his incredible amount of galge experience he finds himself in identical situations as in previous galge that he has played and he manages to get the girl by doing the same things as in the game.
The manga is pretty interesting, though it feels kinda strange. I don’t know if the author was forced to do a galge manga by the editors, but I just can’t feel anything from the manga that says that the author likes playing galge or is into this genre despite how the manga is basically all about galge.
That doesn’t mean I didn’t like the manga though, I enjoy it a lot and the basic concept for the story is still quite interesting, it’s probably worth taking a look to see how far the author can take it.
