High-schooler Keima is a proudly withdrawn gamer nerd, and renowned online as the "God of Conquest" for his prowess in dating sim games. Upon accepting another fan request, Keima unkowingly enters a contract with a literal underworld demon Elsie, who tasks Keima with saving his possessed female classmates. To Keima's dismay, the only way to save these actual real girls' lives—and his own—is to fall in love!
Charming, self-aware, and surprisingly well-executed, this show has its cake and eats it too by both lampooning and executing all of dating sim tropes.
