I like just about all of them. Well, the middle schooler was boring and Hinoki kinda got irritating sometimes, but that's about it.

Oh, right, Mio. Don't like her.

She is the most stereotypical of the bunch.

My favorites are : Tenri, Ayumi, Tsukiyo, Yui, and Kanon.

I don't really have a ranking list, but Yui stands out in my recollections because her capture arc was significantly longer than the preceding ones (IIRC), and it was the first arc in my recollection where Keima was thrown out of his comfort zone and didn't recover by the next chapter. (The length probably helped.)

Is this me or the ending implies that Eri didn't go to school?

I don't understand what you mean, Eri as she is now lived as normal girl in relatively normal family and that include going to school as well.

Hm, favorites...out of plot relevant girls, Ayumi comes on top, then Haqua, then Dokuro, and then the rest more or rest ties.

Non-relevant, I always liked Kusonoki(younger), Ramen girl, and shogi girl.

Yui all the way for me. Though Shiori is kinda cute.

I'm not sure I really like the characters so much in relation to being capture targets. I do like Haqua, Lune, and Kaori the most, though. There are also very few characters I actually dislike.

Elsie and Nora need a spinoff together come to think of it!

Haqua and Nora you mean? I almost feel like Wakaki is trying to set up a spinoff about them.

Would totally read a Haqua spinoff where she feels something's quite not right and slowly figures out that she's missing Elsie in her life.

Or not. More of a fanfic idea.

Apparently they changed the end for the tankoubon to make it more like the typical shitty non-ending where no real resolution is reached.

Why do you keep fucking like this, manga industry?

He's referring to this news, but it would be better if someone could translate.

Now that is weird. However rushed the original ending was. it at least concluded keima's character arc.

Here's the Google Translate version, which is about as coherent as you'd expect. Apparently there were just a few additions, and maybe the girls' dialogue is made to sound like they think they still have a shot.

This went up on Reddit. Probably not comprehensive, but we may be able to piece the additional parts together.

Didn't we already know they still think they have a shot? I remember Yui saying she wasn't giving up.

If anyone is seriously interested. these seem to be the changes (it's long).

Haqua and Nora's conversation in chapter 267 is changed and parts are redrawn. Here's the conversation from the Red Hawk's translation of the magazine version.

Haqua: In the end, it just wasn't possible to round them all up huh?
Nora:I thought it was a job well done. The leadership of the Justice Ministry was arrested. Right now, Hell is in turmoil. At least the mood in New Hell has improved.
Haqua: If only the log had been secured sooner, we could have arrested them one after another... The Justice Ministry is being used as a scapegoat!!
Nora: It couldn't be helped. The enemy was desperate too. Well after all this the Runaway Spirit Squad will be dissolved.

Here's the tankoubon version.

Nora: The Justice Ministry and Vintage have been connected for a long time, so Hell is in a turmoil right now.
Haqua: That's not it!! It's much bigger than that!! Satyr's name didn't even come up!!
Nora: Well, the Justice Ministry is just a scapegoat. Even so, Satyr is a strange lot. Their hideout was empty... There weren't any logs, evidence, or trails. For setting up something so huge, wasn't their getaway a little too clean? Maybe there was some kind of accident.
Haqua: This isn't the end!! They'll be back!! Until we've defeated them!!
Nora: Right right, if bad guys gave up that easily, there'd be no need for a place like Hell.
Haqua: So troublesome...
Nora: Well after all this the Runaway Spirit Squad will be dissolved.

The conversation is the same after that line.

Halfway through that chapter, Haqua mentions to Nora how it feels like there should be an extra demon that they're forgetting. The magazine version has Haqua's buddy Yukie say something, then cuts to Ayumi. The tankoubon version instead shows a sillouete of Elsie, then shows Haqua looking out the window. A whole extra page is added showing Elsie.

Elsie: I'm sorry Haqua...
Mari: Eri-chan, where's Keima?
Elsie: Big brother that gone off to finish the game.

This is when it cuts to Ayumi.

In the final chapter, the middle section of the conversion between Ayumi and Yui is changed. The original version.

Ayumi: That was always his style! I was almost fooled by him... He just doesn't care about other people's feelings!! (Could this really be... how my first love is going to end!?)
Yui: Whew, that was fun!!
Ayumi: Why is that!?
Yui: Because this sort of incredible romance, might never come again!! Besides!! I still haven't given up on Keima-kun!!

The tankoubon version.

That was always his style! He can normally never act sociable!! Acting like that after all that help!! That scum!! (Could this really be... how my first love is going to end!?)
Yui: Ayumi, you just don't get it!!
Ayumi: Why is that!?
Yui: The reason Keima-kun is so unfriendly towards us... is because he likes us!! In other words, I still have a chance!

A couple extra pages with Keima and Chihiro were added after she asks him out for tea.

Chihiro: ...What's in that box?
Keima: It's nothing.
Chihiro: What was that... What are you thinking?
Keima: I'm not thinking anything. That's why... Even I don't know what's going to happen!!
Chihiro: The hell does that mean!!

And finally, the final conversation between Tenri and Diana is changed, and extra panels are added to make two more pages.

Magazine version.

Diana: Tenri...
Tenri: Keima-kun... Wanted to go back to that girl this whole time... I knew it all along since Keima-kun put it all in the letter.
Keima's Letter: Tenri, I will confirm this one last time. There won't be an ending between you and I. After everything is settled, we will go our separate ways.
Tenri: Still, I had a little hope... That maybe things could be... different...
Diana: Tenri, you're not wrong. We're not alive just so that we can follow a predetermined destiny...!!

Tankoubon version. Diana is changed to looking angry.

Diana: I don't understand!! Tenri, you waited 10 years for this...!!
Tenri: I knew it all along... Since Keima-kun put it all in the letter.
Keima's Letter: Tenri, I will confirm this one last time. There won't be an ending between you and I.
Tenri: I now understand why... Keima-kun wrote that...
Keima's Letter: After everything is settled, we will go our separate ways.
Tenri: Keima-kun was suffering for a long time... And so.. It's good... that it's finally over... Still, I had a little hope... That maybe things could be... different...
Diana: Tenri, you're not wrong. We're not alive just so that we can follow a predetermined destiny...!!

Lot of context changes, for sure. Did Red Hawk upload the tank versions as well?
