However, in his actual school life, Keima is called <span title="Hepburn transliteration"><i lang="ja-Latn">otamega</i></span><span style="font-weight: normal"> (<span title="Japanese-language text"><span lang="ja">オタメガ</span></span>)</span>, a derogatory <a href="/wiki/Portmanteau" class="mw-redirect" title="Portmanteau">portmanteau</a> of the two words <span title="Hepburn transliteration"><i lang="ja-Latn"><a href="/wiki/Otaku" title="Otaku">otaku</a></i></span><span style="font-weight: normal"> (<span title="Japanese-language text"><span lang="ja">オタク</span></span>)</span> and <span title="Hepburn transliteration"><i lang="ja-Latn">megane</i></span><span style="font-weight: normal"> (<span title="Japanese-language text"><span lang="ja">メガネ</span></span>, glasses)</span>. </p><p>At the start of the series, Keima receives an e-mail offering him a contract to "conquer" girls and, thinking it is an invitation to a game challenge, he accepts. In response, a cute demon from Hell named <a href="/wiki/List_of_The_World_God_Only_Knows_characters#Elsie" title="List of The World God Only Knows characters">Elsie</a> appears: a Spirit Hunter. She asks for his cooperation to help her in catching the evil spirits that have escaped to the Human Realm: the "Loose Souls", which were once Old Demons from Hell. These evil spirits hide themselves inside the hearts of girls, feeding off the hosts' negative emotions to replenish their power and strength, thus becoming whole demons once again (and in turn, the host becomes an empty shell of a person). Elsie suggests that the only method to force the evil spirits out is by "conquering" the girls' hearts, making them fall in love with him and filling up the gaps which the escaped evil spirits hide in, in which she is then able to capture them. Interested only in video game girls, however, Keima is appalled by the idea, and refuses the assignment as he has no romantic real life experiences whatsoever. Nevertheless, with the contract already agreed, Keima has no choice but to help Elsie no matter what, as they will be beheaded by an invisible (to others) purple collar around their necks if they fail. </p><p>After winning the hearts of fourteen girls (and capturing the spirits residing in them), Keima and Elsie are given an even greater mission: to awaken the six goddesses known as the <a href="/wiki/List_of_The_World_God_Only_Knows_characters#Jupiter_Sisters" title="List of The World God Only Knows characters">Jupiter Sisters</a>. Each sister is dormant in the heart of a girl among those they have previously helped, thus Keima must locate them and conquer their hearts a second time. This time however, they remember the encounters he has had with them already, due to the goddesses inside them, causing high tension and constant possible failure as he tries to conquer the girls simultaneously. However, his time is limited as a rebel demon faction called "Vintage" is planning to capture the goddesses and take over the world. After Vintage's plans are thwarted, Keima starts seeing visions of a child who is somewhat familiar to him. The goddesses send Keima and Elsie to the past with the task of helping her. Upon arriving, they team up with a mysterious girl who apparently has some connection with <a href="/wiki/List_of_The_World_God_Only_Knows_characters#Dokuro_Skull" title="List of The World God Only Knows characters">Dokuro</a>, Elsie's superior in the underworld, and Keima discovers that several occurrences in the past are different from what he remembers, leading to a tragic chain of events that he must avert to ensure that the present stays unaltered, as well as another demon faction which releases giant humanoid monsters. As Keima completes his final mission, he discovers the truth about one of the giants and is able to reconcile with it. He is relieved from the collar and returns to his normal life in the real world. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Development">Development</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=The_World_God_Only_Knows&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Development"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p><i>The World God Only Knows</i> was authored by <a href="/wiki/Tamiki_Wakaki" title="Tamiki Wakaki">Tamiki Wakaki</a>.
