Description
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 Elsie, a devil from hell, to help her in catching runaway spirits that hide in people. 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.

Since Raito in Deathnote, more and more cold calculating bastard as protagonist become a trend (Lelouch, 'Sasuke' Shippuden, and now Keima). But i like it!
Love it!

Truly love this manga. The story was pretty solid with every arcs. Although the ending feels rushed actually. It would have been better if they at least consider to build the ending romance a bit further. But well, that's that, overall this manga is great.

Straight to the point, I liked it a lot.
The premise is nothing like any other stuff around and is very well executed.
Even though the plot might be linear at the beginning it somewhat thickens gradually until the end. Some might say it drags, but i didn't see a single chapter wasted.
For what I have read in other commentaries, there where some that didn't like the ending (they simply had another expectations), but for me it was a plausible ending and the most important it was satisfying.
I'm not going to use this space to do a very long rant about the situations revolving the story, and try to delve into the mind of the character and why he did what he did, so I'm simply going to tell you if this worth your time or not, and definitely, this does.

If you are not into the short arc type stories, don't worry, the plot eventually comes and everything comes to place
While not entirely satisfied at the ending, the author has hinted at it throughout the manga, and it turns out as well as it could be
the protagonist will indeed make his decision, and while some may be unhappy with it, it is probably the only choice that makes sense and doesnt turn this into a harem for life kinda thing
also, while u come to dislike the otaku nature of his, you see his true genius as it goes on
regardless, although a couple parts here and there could use more depth, the author did a good job of creating the best possible ending, creating a "world god only knows"

It dragged a bit and the ending wasn't that great! But it honestly was an interesting concept and it was definitely entertaining - it's actually my favorite manga out of everything I've ever read! What I especially like is the main protagonist's character growth. It happens subtly but it's most certainly present, and it's a little heart warming when you think about how much has has gone through. Of all things, I think this is the manga's shining point.
Despite flaws, I love the ending.

It is more subtle than one would expect from a "harem" series. I do believe that it dragged for too long during the beginning of the final arc (I actually stopped reading and only restarted when I saw the series was completed). For the ending I agree with the points that Rolan made, it is really easy to root for your favorite girl, but the one he chose makes sense for KEIMA.
And that is why I love this ending. It also doesn't hurt that she was the one I rooted for the most because her and
Sadly, the pacing was really off towards the end, a combination of too slow, and too fast at all the wrong parts.

This is a guy who thought all girls in the real world had nothing to compare (looks, personality, charm) to video game girls. Game girls sparkled, and real girls were so dull. This is _especially_ true for during his capture of Chihiro way back when. He considered her no better than a mob character. Everything about her is middling and average. For Keima, it is a brilliant coupling since by the end of the series, he obviously cares about "real life". Compared to the other captures, who tended to have more extreme personality types/goddesses, he goes for the girl that is as normal as can be (no special powers, no dark/sad past, not extremely ambitious)
And that is why I love this ending. It also doesn't hurt that she was the one I rooted for the most because her and

had the best rapport with him in their interactions. I think Wakaki planned this coupling (or had an idea of it) from the get go.Sadly, the pacing was really off towards the end, a combination of too slow, and too fast at all the wrong parts.

Beware some people give it a low rating because the girl they like didn't get selected, ignore those and give this a chance, it get dragged near the end nevertheless I don't hate the ending.

I was kinda skeptical at first but after reading the first chapter I think this manga is gonna be great. It has a perfect setup for a lot of guilt free harem pimpin'. I don't care who you are, that's a good time right there.
Seems interesting

Agreed with user below. This guy has only interest in 2D girls. Did you see how hard he tried to capture that one girl even tho the game was bugged? lol.
