The World God Only Knows Manga to Gets Train-Themed Spinoff

Should be either "Gets" or "to Get", bit of a miss there.

I get a feeling this will be as bad as the Kanon spin-off, hope to be proven wrong.

Rail Wars! is what came to mind when I saw the headline.

Vaisage, to me, not picking the lead harem girl (sometimes, I go with the 2nd lead) is where the ending gets screwed. With the lead guy/girl having
a strong relationship often being a key story element (harem and not), I think that when you don't have them getting together, that destroys part of the story, therefore, that relationship build up would seem pointless.

my initial thoughts were perhaps the plot would involve some reluctant hero who finds that the fate of the world revolves around him being able to grope certain target female characters on the trains...

Pretty much came to hate the series because of those last two manga chapters, but its not like it left on anything official. I'll definitely check this out though

spoiler[Chihiro] did. Some aren't happy with that outcome, but it's the one that made the most sense.

Like Vaisaga said, it was spoiler[Chihiro] who was the most logical choice, and the best girl for Keima.

This news however seems so very random...I'm all up for more TWGOK but it doesn't even make sense...

But I'm up for more! Although I was hoping he would put forth an entirely new series...
