Kami nomi zo Shiru Sekai: On the Train |
The World God Only Knows (神のみぞ知るセカイ?, Kami Nomi zo Shiru Sekai), abbreviated as Kaminomi (神のみ?), is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Tamiki Wakaki. It was originally serialized in Weekly Shōnen Sunday from 2008 to 2014, with the 268 individual chapters published into 26 tankōbon volumes by Shogakukan. The prototype version of the story was first featured as a one-shot in Weekly Shōnen Sunday on its 2007 Issue 32 release, and was titled "Koishite!? Kami-sama!!" (恋して!? 神様?). The tankōbon have been adapted into three anime series produced by Manglobe, which were broadcast in Japan from 2010 to 2013. The anime series has been licensed for an English-language release by Sentai Filmworks in North America.
Keima Katsuragi, a second-year high school student, is an avid player of gal games (video games that involve interactions with anime-styled pretty girls). He is known on the Internet as "The God of Conquests" (落とし神 Otoshi-gami?) for his legendary skills to be able to "conquer" any 2D girl in games. However, in his actual school life, Keima is called otamega (オタメガ?), a derogatory portmanteau of the two words otaku (オタク?) and megane (メガネ?, glasses).
