This is a running theme, isn't it?

Edit: So, I don't think we've seen Kaori before, who is she? And what about the three Magical Potions? One is Yumi the Track Star, obviously, but have we seen the other two? And have we seen Tenri since he went back in time? I don't think so, right?

Tenri has been seen a few times the earliest I can remember is Chapter 204.

I don't think we've seen any of them before - the track star is Ayumi.

Keima is seven years old right now and 17 at the beginning of the series.

They're in 4th grade, so they're older than him. Ayumi's the same age as Keima. We haven't seen any of them before.

Actually things probably happened exactly this way originally in a giant loop just like the Dokuro bit. Remember this whole send Keima to the past thing kicked off when Tenri told the goddesses about something from her past. She probably remembers all of this happened in addition to the school trip and it all plays into the thing she has for Keima.

Most are like that. The series with 40 page chapters are usually monthlies rather than weeklies. The chapters get compiled into standalone volumes afterward.

I don't think they feel that short for a weekly. 18-20 pages is pretty standard. I think the week we missed a short time ago probably helped make things feel a bit slow.

To be fair the artist does have this habit of stretching short conversations across multiple pages and filling it up with silly expressions and game references. I don't mind, since the expressions can keep me preoccupied for quite some time, but not much actually happened in this chapter.

Eh, I'm not really contesting that because this kind of thing is subjective, but a couple things happened. We found out who is behind the weirdness at the school and why they're doing it and it was established that Tenri is strangely unaffected. Based on this Keima has put a plan into motion to subvert Vintage and we get at least a rough sketch of what he plans. I guess I like the more relaxed and goofy flow a bit better then trying to cram the set up and more then the initial bit of the plan into a single chapter, but to each their own.

Season 2 ended with Teacher. Season 3 will cover Doll, Swimmer, Ramen, and maybe Grandma(?)

This year's 24th issue of Shogakukan's Weekly Shonen Sunday magazine confirmed on Wednesday that the third season of The World God Only Knows' (Kami Nomi zo Shiru Sekai) anime will cover the Goddesses arc in Tamiki Wakaki's original manga. The third season will premiere this summer.

Unless ANN is misreporting I'm not sure how this is going to work with all the stuff before it they have to cover first.

Maybe they're skipping all or most of those conquests. A bunch of them aren't important to the overall plot, but they'll need to cover Tsukiyo and Yui before starting the Goddess arc and that would still make for a very cramped 3rd Season. And it would be too bad if they cut the swimmer, I thought her chapters were really neat because of the shift to the conquests point of view.
