The World God Only Knows, Volume 22 (The World God Only Knows #212-222)

Keima continues to try to change the past in order to influence the future. With the various new characters introduced, enough has been teased for the reader to get an idea of the objective, although how to achieve it is another story. Most of the chapters in this volume do not seem to follow any sort of logic, it jumps from place to place and can be confusing in its leaps. There are just too many unexplained plot points for it to make sense as of now. However, the tie back to the core fundamental gimmick of the series, being Keima’s conquests, is welcomed here and done rather cleverly.  The chapters reuses some approaches and it has a tendency to spend a whole chapter on switching to another viewpoint that doesn’t have the same urgency nor does it add much to the plot. The humor works well though and it does throw a few intriguing curveballs, enough to keep you engaged.
