Title: The World God Only Knows Vol. 17
Series: The World God Only Knows - 17th volume
Author: Tamiki Wakaki
Read Before: no
Comments: Most of this volume is taken up by the one story arc involving Tenri. This breaks the mould in that it seems the runaway spirit within Tenri isn’t really a runaway spirit at all, which is confusing at first. Keima also somehow managed to forget that he had met Tenri before 10 years ago, when they were supposedly childhood friends. The devil Nora takes on a bigger appearance to and becomes the antagonist. The exaggerated events create heaps of opportunities for great gags that work really well, now that we understand Keima more. Tenri’s arc is one of the longest arcs so far and it benefits the plot a lot. We get more time to understand Tenri herself, and the relationship between her and Keima is fleshed out more thoroughly, leading to a good conclusion.
Rating: 6.5/10
