+{{ruby|神|かみ}}のみぞ{{ruby|知|し}}るセカイ(The World God Only Knows) is a series about a dating sim gamer who has been tasked by Hell to rid girls of escaped souls from Hell. If he doesn't do his job then he gets decapitated! Despite how that sounds, the series is mostly comedic and has a more light-hearted tone.\\
-This is one of my favourite series and I consider it very important. I'll eventually have a whole lot written about it, hopefully soon.\\

 ===== Reviews =====
-Seems like these review things will be hard to get rid of for a while.\\
 ==== Anime ====
 The anime doesn't adapt the entire manga. This is most obvious at the start of Megami-hen which skips forward from the end of KamiNomi2 to the Goddess arc in the manga.\\
 Besides this, the anime ends at Megami-hen and doesn't adapt the rest((:fn:>To be fair, the manga only has two major arcs - The Goddess Arc being one, with the Heart of Jupiter Arc being the one to end the manga. The anime does adapt most of the manga and also avoids the frankly awful ending of the manga. Most of the minor arcs + one of the two major arcs is pretty good, all things considered.)). This, interestingly, leads the anime to having a sad ending.\\
 I'll elaborate on this a little later.
+Comparing the Anime to the Manga: the Manga has better comedic timing, if that even makes sense. Generally, the comedy in the Manga is handled far better - the framing, layout and such all aids it. The exception to this would likely be <wrap spoiler>'I am your husband's illegitimate daughter.'</wrap> where the Anime is superior.
 ==== Manga ====
+The Manga has a bad and abrupt ending. I may elaborate further, but this is the short of it.
 ===== Characters & Worldbuilding =====
 ==== Runaway Spirit Squad ====
@@ Line 18: / Line 18: @@
 The human in the pair is tasked with filling the gap in the hearts of others, while the demon actually seals the spirit after it gets pushed out. Not all pairs work this way though.
 === Katsuragi Keima - Kami-nii-sama ===
+{{:img:eating.png?240 |A cute moment.}}
 The protagonist. He is an otaku (here we mean the more derogatory meaning of the term) obsessed with playing [[lb:galge]] ("Gal Games" - "Dating Sims"). So obsessed in fact, that he has rejected reality. He is also insanely good at playing [[lb:galge]]. So much, that he has earned the title of "Capturing God" - no girl can resist but falling in love with him.\\
 Due to this, he is (involuntarily) recruited by hell to capture runaway spirits.\\

 Something of a tsundere towards Katsuragi.
 ===== Speculah & Analysis =====
-==== The Ending ====
-The review should have mentioned that the Manga's ending is just bad. This section exists so that I elaborate on that.\\
-That doesn't mean right now.
 ==== Alternative Approach ====
 I believe it would have been interesting if the conquest targets didn't lose their memories after the conquest. I don't necessarily mean that they literally remember everything but that they still have feelings left-over.\\
 The series did, at some point, imply this was the case - although this turned out to be setup for Megami-hen.\\
-This isn't a flaw with the series; just something I thought would have been interesting.
+This isn't a flaw with the series; just something I thought would have been interesting.\\
+The conquest targets having some memories left-over could have led to some more interesting situations - for example, Keima could have gotten their help in other conquests.
+It should be noted that I do know the reason why this wasn't present in the series...or, rather, I have a pretty good idea why. I'll elaborate on that later.
+==== Classical Mythological Influence ====
+KamiNomi has some influence from Greek and Roman mythology. For example, all of the goddesses have Roman names: Diana, Apollo, Mercury, Minerva, Vulcan. They're even called the ‘Jupiter Sisters’.\\
+Though it should be noted that outside of aesthetic similarities, KamiNomi is very disconnected from Classical Mythology.
