[Manga] The World God Only Knows

The manga is really good and the story becomes pretty solid later on. I think it's a worthwhile read even if the story is kinda slow in the begginning. THe goddeess arc is awesome XD

This is probably one of the best mangas ever, I have a feeling the ending is coming soon, also I've devoted a good chunk of my life to reading and rereading this series so I sure as hell am not stopping now.

It's not going to end soon. Things don't work that way, only for special occasions. After TWGOK got serialized, the series is also owned by the publishers. So if they see it can still make money, they will keep on encouraging the author to keep on working on new stories.

That's why you'll see the "ranking system" that they implement. So, if TWGOK isn't low in the rankings then it will never see an end.

An author who wants to end the series, must negotiate with the publishers, since this will mean they could be losing one of their selling series. So, an ending that's not forced by the rankings are rare. (ex: Fullmetal alchemist)

FYI, Shonen Sunday is more lenient in the rankings than it's sister magazine, Shonen Jump. Look at Detective Conan, still being serialized since 1994. And because "capturing" is basically the same as "crime solving", the story can jump back easily to minor "cases" while once in a while make a serious arc.

If things goes well and normal, it can go at least 7 years. Most series in Sunday only spans only in 2-3 years. TWGOK is already in it's 4th year so, it's pretty much safe to say it will still continue.

while I'm not saying I hope this series ends, I do hope it doesn't becomes one of those series that just goes on, and on, and fucking on, with no idea what it's doing.

If it can find a stable story like Detective Conan, then "why not". It certainly has the potential to be a long-running series.

And not like the series in Shonen Jump, Series in Shonen Sunday have a longer "life expectancy", also readers from Shonen Sundays isn't too "battle-crazed".

If you notice it, Most series that's being serialized in Shonen Sunday, are mostly not a "battle Manga", but more on the romance/drama type. And Like I said earlier, they're me tolerant to their authors, seeing that Aoyama Gosho still running Conan, Them accepting Watase Yuu, Rumiko Takahashi and Misturu Adachi's work over and over again.

Chapter 174

174

Have to correct you a bit on one thing.

175
[spoil]@MokonaNL: Which is what I said. "I take it vintage wants to get all the former runaway spirit holders since for some reason..." Vintage doesn't know the hosts of any of the Goddesses which is why they are targeting all the runaway spirit holders. On the last page of chapter 174 there are 12 targets. 6 of those are Goddesses, and the remaining 6 are former runaway spirit holders. Its likely those 6 are Sumire (who we saw being watched), Mio, Kusonoki, Chihiro, Minami, and Nanaka. I didn't include conquered characters that don't live in the area of the school.

However, none of that matters anymore though since chapter 175 revealed everything. We saw 5 captured Goddesses (Mercury for like panel or two, Apollo, Vulcan, Mars, Minerva). Who knows where Diana/Tenri is. Welcome back Haqua.

I have a feeling Nikaido and Akari will turn up more prominently very soon.[spoil]

Wow, that was fast. So many bad things happened in 1 go.

Well that might be potentially explained by:

Well...

This is something to learn from for Keima... Incidents like this would make him improve and probably more loving=better goddess charger... but aren't we forgetting something after Haqua came back??

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELLLSSSIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
