To Love Ru

Description

From Seven Seas:
Yuuki Rito is your average high school student - awkward, shy, and hopeless when it comes to confessing his feelings to the girl of his dreams. But one day, an alien princess on the run suddenly appears in his bathtub. When Rito finds himself engaged to the beautiful Lala after a misunderstanding, he becomes embroiled in the chaos of extraterrestrial politics, rival alien suitors, and harem hilarity. The story continues in To Love Ru Darkness, when Lala’s younger sister Momo begins her own machinations to marry Rito but it can only happen if he is coronated as king of their interstellar empire, which would allow him to marry as many women as he wants.

What I can honestly say is that Love Trouble didnt let me indifferent on an onthological front. It certainly does not let you have no feelings or sensations for it; not only did I have eyecandy for days, even though it is pretty samey all aesthetics considered, but the characters' ultra functionalist inner workings, the nothingburger yet mostly lightweight and symbol-level problems to solve (as in "you can describe them on one sentence"), the absurdly clean and honest ecchi visual methods employed...

Let it rest for its immaculate female visual design, its freeroaming nothingness adventure, its undefined points of interest, its utilitarian use of undesciferable japanese city, its cosmic mishorror, the cheerful spirit of it all, the creatively gooner bullshit. To Love Ru causes stuff on the reader, any of it. Anything. Even disgust.

It's not that. I'm... left kinda between sad and indifferent as a finite experience (theleologically you may say) because of two very central parts I couldnt pinpoint exactly, til the manga actually ended. Rito. The MC is just... stupidly perfect for its premise; yeah, even more perfect than Sairenji's pretty perfect girl nonsense. Rito was the indicated guy for the job.

He's actually kind of a sweet dude that tips over girls tits and ass because he's so clumsy -except it's more like the universe hangs him to honeymoon pie- but he actually has no bad intentions of his own, it's just destiny! Seeing Lala's nipples for the hundredth time, the poor fella still blushes, but he CAN be around girls more and more because suddenly we remember he DID see a lot of T&A and talked to them... He's brave, but not exactly. He's confident, but not exactly. He's a pervert, but like just a little bit, never to do actually something about it! I hate that, because I know what he's gonna become: a harem engine, but still the can-never-do-nothing-bad guy. He's perfect.

Rito was destined to be, from the beginning, to be the do-all-gooder fella that stumbled to the cosmic sisters of the sexiest alien girl in school. Around chapter 120 (which is pretty fucking far) you can actually start seeing Momo as the catalyzer of things to come, as To Love Ru Darkness would make an... "apparent" 180-spin on Rito's intentions. Now EVERYONE will be my sla-I mean wife!

Everyone gets a piece of him! It feels... shoehorned (we are talking TLR here, the epitome of shoehorn) and mean spirited just to get every relationship-based fetish down the umbrella -yeah even incest!-, ESPECIALLY since she's the starter and the one placed under the rug on Darkness. Feels even worse considering Haruna basically disappears for... well, if you know, you know.

This is turboenhanced by how... Slice of life yurichad hasty events advance. Text is post-grunge lyrics levels of demonstrative. You can pretty much read To Love Ru like you riding 300km on a motorcycle and you'll meet the ending in no time, taking some time to gush on the artwork and drinking some of the Narrative Stakes kool-aid. Nothing takes too much time to process, nothing wants that much of your attention until the pantsus go flying.

Which I don't think it's a bad thing, lemme be clear; exploitative and problematic, and weird, and kinda cringe it may be, but that's sexual exploration/deviation for you.

It just doesn't feel very lighthearted when slowly everyone wants a piece of cake that was time and time again told "to be for one of two souls" - the deviancy starts to swing way too much in favor of what I assume they (the creators) want us to insert into while going extremely fucking fast, so everything feels extra utilitarian. Extra fabricated. Suddenly the characters are just meat, not even with the potatoes. Like, I know this is not a full-blown romance manga, but come on... Why making such an effort to create a love triangle in the first place?

But they had gold under there. I liked the fucking stupid antics relating the other girls being between ashamed. I liked the artificiality; titillation and heartbeat. I loved Lala and Haruna's sweet come to terms with loving the same person. I didn't mind the no-hesitation to forget about its own cosmic premise, just let it all loose, its fun!!! When it becomes so heavy handed AND you'll sooner than later will become the equivalent of the hippo winning the ballhoarding contest by default...

I'm not even mad about the ending; I think it's genius. If they didn't reveal Momo had other plans already.

I'll probably remember Lala and the other girls at least a bit because I took my time with TLR. I cared enough - the girls are cute, workable, expressive, beautiful, they enjoy their own exploit to a charming level... well, most of the time

That soulful caring almost went away as soon as Rito actually became the chosen one. It was no longer about love; only about the trouble.

...But I still have a soft spot for it. I blame anime tropes being so effective on a slice of life setting.

As a teenager when this came out, I could not finish it. It really creeped me out. Hearing my male peers talk about it as if it was an extremely great work was both creepy and disappointing as I saw their attitudes change in a way that objectified others.

Why everyone says that it ended? There are some comments that even say "why it ended" which were posted after the sequel started.

And that sequel is a proper sequel, by the same author and artist. Just that sequel is in seinen magazine instead of shounen, but I actually liked sequel a lot. So check it out before saying that ending is too sudden.

You just can't have that continuation in shounen magazine...

WHY, WHY DID THEY HAVE TO END THIS!? Put short I loved this manga. I found this manga on the day it's last chapter was translated on OM. Its a great read with some plot elements I wouldn't have seen coming in a few years and hella ecchi stuff 😉 Sadly it had possibly the least satisfying ending I've ever seen, then again don't all harems?
Oh well try it out

I don't know about the divorce thing until I read you guys' comment about it. well, if it's the case, then it makes sense why this series' ending is so bad. It should continue for some more longer than only 18 volumes.

The art is just perfect as it is (moe and ecchi). The story doesn't require much thinking. you can laugh all the way as the story progress randomly. laughing while sexually excited maybe for some readers that still can't stand the high rate ecchi of this series. You who care so much about a plot, can't stand the high rate ecchi, can't stand the pathetic main protagonist, or simply a girl doesn't have to be bothered to start reading it.

I still love Yabuki-sensei drawing and looking forward for his Mayoi Neko Overrun next chapter. and for justice it's 10/10.

Seriously, i dont know why people like this series...
they usually say that pastel just hit the corner, and has an slow pace romance,

BUT THIS MANGA DOESN'T HAVE PACE AT ALL

this is one of that over rated mangas. Seriously talking, the ending wasnt too much of disapointing, cause the whole manga was like that, didnt change anything.i
I finished the manga just cause i didnt wanted to lose the investiment.

The history was turning too much fanservice and anoying.
The artist new manga - Mayoi Neko Overrun! - is... at least... a thousand times better, till the moment at least than this series.

the art is good, is just that all the main character's piss me off, and the history doesnt change.

if u like to see fanservice...well i recomend to you check around an dj of this series... the serie itself doesn't worth the time spended in it.

Ending

by Twitching Cheese
15 years ago

Rating: 9.0 / 10.0

For those complaining about the abrupt end, there were pressing circumstances (understatement) that essentially forced this on it. Unfortunate but it does happen.

For some more info on that check the "Creator Breakdown" note on its TVTropes page.

Essentially, he had to end the manga to prevent his ex-wife from making a third custody and money grab for his daughter — after she illegally wiped his bank accounts out, stole the laptop he used to create the manga, and blackmailed him for custody of his own daughter after kidnapping her. Even now she is claiming rights to the Haruna character and all profit made from the anime, manga, and merchandise.

A good read, while it lasted. Due to circumstances, I guess the ending was ok...guess they had to shorten it up.
Art is good of course, pretty detailed.
