Elsie suggests that the only method to force the evil spirits out is by "conquering" the girls' hearts, making them fall in love with him and filling up the gaps which the escaped evil spirits hide in, in which she is then able to capture them. These evil spirits hide themselves inside the hearts of girls, feeding off the hosts' negative emotions to replenish their power and strength, thus becoming whole demons once again (and in turn, the host becomes an empty shell of a person). She asks for his cooperation to help her in catching the evil spirits that have escaped to the Human Realm: the "Loose Souls", which were once Old Demons from Hell. In response, a cute demon from Hell named Elsie appears: a Spirit Hunter. However, in his actual school life, Keima is called otamega ( オタメガ), a derogatory portmanteau of the two words otaku ( オタク) and megane ( メガネ, glasses).Īt the start of the series, Keima receives an e-mail offering him a contract to "conquer" girls and, thinking it is an invitation to a game challenge, he accepts. He is known on the Internet as "The God of Conquests" ( 落とし神, Otoshi-gami ) for his legendary skills to be able to "conquer" any 2D girl in games. Keima Katsuragi, a second-year high school student, is an avid player of gal games (video games that involve interactions with anime-styled pretty girls).
