To Love Ru Darkness

momos trash nemesis top tier was pretty damn cringe but i cant complain since that was the point 8/10

Extreme, borderline-hentai ecchi is okay. Cute characters that are a bit lacking in the chest department is okay. But both combined?? Hell no!!!

I can't believe the worst To love-ru protagonist became the main character of this sequel. If I had to describe this manga in a single word, it would be: bad!

This is a sequel for To Love-Ru. It can be read as a standalone, but character development in the first makes this story much better.

The sequel sees Rito, acknowledging his love for both Lala and Haruna, continue on ecchi asventures. The sequel is really pushing what I'd expect from shounen ecchi. While it has no genetalia, it makes very liberal use of breasts and is  very stimulating, more s than even some hentai I've read. This goes too far at times but generally is a boon. The one problem is chapter 5/6, I have yet to be more horrified at an ecchi scene in any manga and believe those two chapters alone partly soil the rest of the manga for me.

In addition the sequel is more plot focused. The first half focuses on Yami's confronting her past as a weapon and trying to find inner peace and understand her feelings for Rito. The second half puts more focus on Rito and the efforts of Momo, the younger sister of Yami, to make a harem. Having any plot at all made the story better, giving me greater stakes to follow.


The ending is an insult. Every development by Momo and, later, Nemisis pointed to a harem ending. Rito already loved both Lala and Haruna. Haruna got far too little focus for her to be anything close to Rito's choice of love. Yet that happened, Rito rejecting the harem for his love of Haruna. This ending did not get nearly enough runtime to be remotely justifiable. I spent two hundred twenty chapters waiting for a completely indecisive ending? If they emphasized Momo's inner doubts about harem and had Rito disagree with harem based on that, I would accept the ending more because Momo earned my respect based on the story's focus on her. But Haruna? Laughable. Plus, I really wanted to see Rito in Deviluke even once, coming with his harem to confirm his marrige to Lala with the other characters as his co concubines.

To sum, the story did everything to advance a harem ending, so not having this is insulting to me as the reader.

A fantastic story with top quality ecchi, but the ending will hit like a hammer.

7/10.

The ending isn't conclusive because this isn't supposed to be the end of To-Love-Ru. The author wanted to make at least one more sequel series. No idea if that's still on the table or not, though.

If I had to predict how a third series would end, the king would schedule the wedding for Rito and Lala. Momo and the other girls would give up all hope of being with Rito and become depressed. Lala would then insist that Rito marry all the girls, there'd be a huge wedding on Deviluke, and it would end with the girls arguing over how the wedding night will go.

No matter how it goes, there's no way to sensibly wrap up this series except a harem end.

Regarding Haruna, she might be part of the problem if the rumors are true. The artist supposedly based her design on his wife, who later divorced him, hooked up with someone underage, and wound up in a huge legal battle with the artist over money and (supposedly) the rights to Haruna's character. I haven't see credible sources on this stuff, though, so take it with a grain of salt.

Well..... To Love-Ru is both heaven and hell to Yabuki Kentaro.

It's a heaven that he can put his favourite Black Cat characters in the story, and everything he loves to this manga. To this blessing, most Japanese mangaka gets inspiration from this manga as the best template of ecchi story, become top ten DJ material. Even the merchandise sells rapidly.
But it turns to hell because of dilemma between his obligation to his ex-wife who NTR him but keep squeezing money for using her face as Haruna (and maybe Lala's design is hers too), and his professionalism to give proper story to fans where it is common in Japan where they have to give it all or nothing.

I think if there is no that kind of shitty drama, there is no such thing as this drifting.

We don't know if he might continue the manga that becomes the foundation and inspiration of Heisei's Last Decade era ecchi manga or totally forget this as the most disappointing ever story. Even barely no one makes TLR DJ anymore

I hope he continue this and reformat it if possible.

He can sue his wife for adultery. Never alimony.

Author discarded like the Heisei era.
