 {{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.\\

 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 ===

 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.\\

 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.
