{{tropelist|The Tropes God Only Knows}}
* [[Abuse Is Okay When Its Female On Male]]: Keima gets attacked a lot by the girls in the series. [[Played for Laughs]], such as his first encounter with Kanon, who zaps him with a kitty stungun (which was perfectly safe for the scene) when he doesn't recognize her, and more importantly (to her anyway), doesn't care.
* [[A-Cup Angst]]: Haqua, though only in the bonus chapters and she isn't TOO self-conscious about it.
* [[A Day in the Limelight]]: A number of these: Chapters 11, 42, 122b and 137b are Elsie's, chapter 34 is Mari's, 54 is the nascent Light Music Club's, 56 is Elsie and Haqua's, and 114 is {{spoiler|Kanon and Apollo's}}.
** In the anime, the entirety of Shiori's arc qualifies.
** Minami's arc is also mainly from her perspective, as her capture is mainly driven by the overbloatedover-bloated image she creates of Keima as a sempai. It's notable because the story being told from the girl's perspective is one of the biggest points of her arc.
** The "XXX After" bonus chapters would count as well, even if they are short.
** "The World a Lil' Devil Only Knows" chapters and 4-komas are from Elsie's point of view.
Line 210 ⟶ 209:
* [[Clingy Jealous Girl]]: Competitive Haqua and possessive Diana.
** Hilariously done with Luna, Tsukiyo's doll. {{spoiler|But then [[It Got Worse]]....}}
** HiliarouslyHilariously invoked in episode 8 of Season 2. Haqua comes over to file a report of what happened in episode 3 and 4, and asks for Elsie and Keima's help. Keima and Haqua get into an argument over what happened in the theater, and after a few edits, Haqua smashes the mic so that no more edits can be made. Unfortunately for her, the last edit she made showed the Keima doll doing things to Haqua. Elsie then walks in with snacks and "discovers" what they were "really" doing that day when she was by herself, and beats him up a little. Later she nonchalantly walks back inside, then locks Keima out of the house after Haqua leaves.
* [[Closet Shuffle]]: {{spoiler|In manga FLAG 154 when the idiotic Ryou allowed Chihiro to enter, Keima had to hide Ayumi so he pushed her onto Elsie's bed and hid her under the sheets with himself. It continued onto FLAG 155.}}
* [[Clothing Damage]]: When {{spoiler|Mars}} gets angry and attacks someone, somehow the only effect the attack seems to have is to completely strip said someone of all her clothes...

** Keima alone is a big contender: male dating sim gamers are pure, female ones are just lustful girls in search of pornographic materials.
*** Not that it's ever portrayed that way in-universe. Female dating sim gamers have never been shown in the first place. Even for Keima, him being pure is his own self-view, while everyone else thinks he's a freak.
** In-universe example. When Yui decides to cross -dress, she becomes much more popular. When {{spoiler|Keima does it himself}}, everyone thinks he's a pervert (except obviously Yui). Despite other people's judgments about him, he's still portrayed as a [[Wholesome Crossdresser]].
* [[AbuseDouble IsStandard Okay When ItsAbuse (Female Onon Male)]]: Keima gets attacked a lot by the girls in the series. [[Played for Laughs]], such as his first encounter with Kanon, who zaps him with a kitty stungun (which was perfectly safe for the scene) when he doesn't recognize her, and more importantly (to her anyway), doesn't care.
* [[Dramatic Irony]]: In Volume 3's bonus material, Keima observes that the PFP's high price means [[It Will Never Catch On|it won't sell]]. Guess whose website's promotion ends up giving it a sales boost?
* [[Dropped a Bridge on Him]]: Instory example with {{spoiler|Shiori getting mad at Katsuragi and killing off the character based on him out of nowhere.}}
