To Love Ru, Vol. 1-2

Product Information

Both manga inspired two television anime series adaptations, as well as several OVAs. Sentai Filmworks has released all four television anime adaptations in North America. There are many things that need to be said about this manga, but I have tried to divide it into four general focal points in this rather in-depth review. Hopefully I can manage to explain just why I have loved this manga so much more than any other series of its genre over the years, but also why the ending disappointed me so much.

The To Love Ru Darkness sequel manga launched in Jump SQ. in 2010 and ended in March 2017. The series also has 18 volumes. In a visual novel this would be a non-issue since there every girl can just have her own route instead, but in linear mediums like manga and anime this is not really an option. So the only option you are left with here that could theoretically please everyone is a true harem ending, with the guy actually ending up in a committed relationship with all the girls simultaneously. But this essentially never happens because polygamy is unfortunately illegal in Japan, and also writing a story where such an insane development actually seems plausible is a lot easier said than done. But Darkness actually has a solution to both these problems (more on that later), and is thus able to make it work. Top-Selling Manga in Japan by Volume, #50-#100: 2012". Anime News Network.

When it comes to harems, the viewers/readers tend to end up at each other's throats before long simply because everyone has different tastes in girls, and despite the supposedly light-hearted premise of the series itself, the fans still turn hostile due to their so-called waifu wars. The To LOVE-Ru Darkness fan base however is not really like that. Since it has been so clear since the beginning that the harem ending has always been the end goal, there is no need to fight over who the best girl is, because after all in the harem ending, every girl is a winner. As a result the series has one of the friendliest communities I have seen in manga and anime, and one of few I can actually say I am proud to be a part of.

He smells a pot that has purple flowers and then walks away. Momo finds Celine and explained how those were her flowers and no one should smell them because they can have side effects, Celine told Momo Rito had smelled the purple flowers and she was really worried since those flowers change one's personality. Rito demands Lala to give him her see-through glasses and asks her to pose for him. Excited, Rito starts asking for more breasts and runs to school where he looks at each and every girl and even looks closely at Yui's privates. Momo finds Rito and heals him before anything worse happened. Rito falls unconscious on the floor from all the things he saw.
