To Love Ru (Manga) | comment |
Rito Yuuki is a hapless high school teenager who's hopelessly in love with the shy, gentle Haruna Sairenji, but just can't work up the nerve to confess his feelings. One night while taking a bath, however, a gorgeous (and naked!) alien princess named Lala Satalin Deviluke crash-lands into his bathtub, and things just spiral out of control from there...Written by Hasemi Saki and illustrated by Kentaro Yabuki of Black Cat fame, To Love Ru is...well, you probably haven't seen fanservice until you've seen or read at least a minimal amount of this series. The Shonen Jump manga To Love Ru: Trouble ran from 2006 to 2009. An Animated Adaptation made by Xebec ran for 26 episodes in 2008. Six OVAs were released, and a second TV series, Motto To LOVE Ru, aired 12 episodes June 2010.The author and artist reunited for a Spin-Off/sequel manga titled To Love Ru Darkness, that ran from October 2010 to April 2017, meaning it actually outlasted the original work by a wide margin. It was centered around Momo's plan to share Rito with the others whose happiness depends on him, and an unknown antagonist who controls several assassins similar to Yami, as well as Yami's Dark and Troubled Past. While characters of the original manga return, Darkness promoted both Yami and Momo to main characters and significantly downplayed the original protagonists. The fanservice in Darkness was amped up, to the point Rito "Accidental Pervert'ed" his way through at least five heavy make-out sessions with entirely different women, and some scenes are outright softcore porn. An anime adaptation premiered in October 2012, and a second season in summer 2015.Due to its fanservice-heavy nature and the fact that it was published by Shueisha (part-owner of Viz Media, who would never touch this series with a ten-foot pole), it was long assumed the manga would never make it to North America, though the various anime had. However, Seven Seas Entertainment ending up getting the rights to the manga and started publishing it in 2017.Manga of the To Love Ru series include the following: | |

Kimodameshi: Had one of these early on, with the addition of a rumor stating that the pair that makes it to the end will become an actual couple. Naturally, Rito makes it to the end with both Haruna and Lala with him. They decide to go on one in an Old School Building (episode 17 in the anime, fittingly titled The Ghost in the Old School Building) where the group meet some aliens disguised like ghosts and Oshizu that is a real ghost. | |

To Love Ru (Manga) / int_14a8974a | comment |
Love Potion: Run subjects Rito to a powerful alien aerosol (or sonic) aphrodisiac without his knowledge or consent in chapter 68. Being a human with no experience or resistance to said substance, it is far more powerful and effective on him than it should be. If Nemesis was not Sharing a Body with Rito, and snapped him out of it, Run could very easily have crossed the Moral Event Horizon via Double Standard Rape: Female on Male combined with Double Standard Rape Scifi. Luckily, Rito is a very Understanding Boyfriend. | |

Losing a Shoe in the Struggle: When a de-aged Run tries to catch the Skunk of Youth, she slips off the school roof, losing her now over-sized shoes in the fall. Thankfully, Lala manages to catch her (and the skunk) mid-fall. Later in Darkness, Mea's shoes are stolen when she is attacked by a mob of Rito clones. | |

To Love Ru (Manga) / int_173909 | comment |
Golden Darkness arguably received the most character development when it comes to direction, outranking Rito/Yui. She went from cold-blooded assassin to nearly being killed by an assassin because Brainwashed and Crazy Mikan was in the way and she refused to harm her, smiling constantly around Rito and Mikan, and even being nicer to Rito. | |

Genre Shift | |
To Love Ru (Manga) / int_177a6464 | comment |
Genre Shift: The manga started out as a fairly standard harem where the only girls who actually had a chance of winning were Lala and Haruna. By the time of Chapter 14 in Darkness, it's combined multiple aspects of Black Cat (whereas it only had a few callbacks and Yami herself in the original series) and morphed into a modern Tenchi Muyo!, complete with Marry Them All in the works (or at least with Momo actively scheming to make sure it's in the works). It's also become quite a bit more character driven, with character arcs focusing on various girls and less random wacky comedy. | |

All There in the Manual: Motto To LOVE Ru; while it doesn't expect you to know certain things, doesn't exactly explain them either. For example, if you want to know why Celine has a human form, or how Oshizu has a body? You can only find the full explanation in the manga and the OVA. There are other things too, but most are minor. | |

Title Drop: Rito's e-mail address seems to be Rito@ToLOVE. Its hard to tell the rest, but this should be enough to qualify. The example listed under Fun with Acronyms. May also happen rather often due to the multilingual pun of To Love Ru being pronounced the same as Trouble; Rito occasionally mentions how his days are filled with Trouble, etc. | |

To Love Ru (Manga) / int_1b8ff67c | comment |
Above the Influence: Celine's pollen makes anyone, regardless of age, gender or sexual orientation fall in love with Rito. When his sister Mikan gets a blast of it... she asks, "What? did you think I'd just run and start clinging onto you? Please." It turns out that the potion did work, but Mikan managed to fight it off, making this a rare opportunity where both people were this. Averted, subverted and played straight in one sequence. During Yui's visit at Rito's, Momo tries to setup a special mood between them, which is seemingly about to be disrupted by their usual antics. She considers an aphrodisiac, but dismisses that thought as she feels it is not appropriate. Then Yui herself makes a move on Rito, but is basically shot down by Rito. Taken to extremes by Rito's apparent resistance to the charm of Charmians, which are supossed to turn any men who witnesses their face a beast. He doesn't. Lala's father Gid resists it as well, but he's from a powerful species. | |

How Risa and Mio generally greet Yami, much to the poor little one's confusion. Celine also seems rather fond of this. Impressively she usually manages to knock down her target(usually Rito). | |

To Love Ru (Manga) / int_20779065 | comment |
Marry Them All: In the abrupt manga finale, Lala not only doesn't mind the possibility of both her and Haruna marrying Rito but is actively enthusiastic about it. Later, he accidentally says "I love you" to several of the other girls (even though it was meant for Haruna), Lala doesn't mind sharing him with them, too. It's implied that, by Deviluke law, he can practice polygamy when he becomes king after officially marrying Lala. As of 'Darkness' Momo is VERY aware of this trope regarding Rito and the girls. Her dream is to actually achieve this result with her taking an active approach. | |

Crapsack World: Run and Ren's home planet Memorze has been revealed to be this. It's a planet where there are two suns, locking the planet in eternal day time. 80% of the planet is dry desert and the rest is also inhospitable, so much so that the dual-gender bodies evolved in order to help survival in a land with little food and water. Only trade with other planets has given the people relief. | |

Adaptation Expansion: Motto, as part of the improvements, sometimes added scenes, usually only very small, that generally added connectivity or depth. For example, in Risa's Day In The Lime Light episode, the manga ends with Rito receiving Risa's text. In Motto, there is a following scene where Risa stares at her phone longingly, implying she was serious about her offer. | |

Suggestive Collision | |
To Love Ru (Manga) / int_25a7dcb9 | comment |
Suggestive Collision: At least once a chapter, if not more. By Darkness, whenever Rito is onscreen, he can barely go for more than a couple of pages without tripping and literally landing face first in someone's crotch. One incident involving a rogue vacuum cleaner ends up actually burying him under a pile of naked girls. In chapters 65 and 66, Mikado-Sensei theorizes that Rito's tendency to do this is a symptom of a psychological disease and attempts to cure it. She comes to the conclusion that it isn't a disease, but rather the will of the universe. | |

Run of Ran from the same work (their names are almost the same even), minus the Bitch in Sheep's Clothing aspect of her character. Like Ran with Lum, Run was Lala's childhood friend who went through a lot of slapstick abuse and was forced to dress up like a girl as Ren. At least Ren/Run didn't get spanked like Ran did, though. | |

Defrosting Ice Queen: Yui. Chapter 4. That is all! Aside from the harem building, the other major driver of the story is Yami finally thawing from light ship teasing to fully accepting both Rito and her life on Earth. Yui is also defrosting at an even quicker pace than before. Yami herself after being saved by Rito from her Darkness self. Turns into a full Type A Tsundere. | |

Parental Abandonment | |
To Love Ru (Manga) / int_297ab1b9 | comment |
Parental Abandonment: Quite a few characters actually, but the most noticeable is Rito and Mikan's parents. Ringo has appeared only twice as she works overseas, and while its implied they see Saibai more often, he's almost never at home (apparently living in his office); This is proven when he first met Lala after she'd been living with them for at least a few weeks, and only because she and Rito went to visit him at work. The long term effects of their parents' hands-off approach is actually explored somewhat in Darkness, and is cited as the reason that Mikan and Rito are so close. They had no one to rely on but each other. Inverted with Haruna and the Deviluke sisters: They voluntarily left their parents, the former to live with her sister so she could continue to go to school with her friends, and all the Devilukes ran away; Lala because she was being forced into a marriage, and the twins because they hated studying. | |

Artifact Title: The title Darkness initially refers both to Yami (who's one of the main characters) and the somewhat Darker and Edgier tone. After the arc focusing on her is over, however, the series returns to a formula similar to the original series, making the title meaningless. Subverted. It later becomes clear that "Darkness" refers to Nemesis. | |

Momo has one of the heavily censored kind when she thinks of Rito. And multiple somewhat less censored ones of how she hopes things will turn out during Rito's time alone with various individual harem-candidates. The actual events are invariably tamer than what Momo is hoping for (though still very much NSFW thanks to his Accidental Pervert nature). | |

To Love Ru (Manga) / int_31da1e24 | comment |
Shipper on Deck: Momo's trying to create a harem for Rito, after all. She appears to be considering each and every female except Peke and his Mom as a love interest. Lala also fully supports Rito/Haruna, with the added twist that she is hoping that it'll lead to Rito/Haruna/Lala. Risa (and her best friend Mio) seems to be pushing for the Rito/Lala ship, and has been nothing but helpful to Lala in trying to get them together, albeit in her own way. Nana is the edge of this when it comes to Rito/Lala and Rito/Haruna. Mikan appears to want Rito/Lala, considering she keeps chastising Momo for coming on to Rito, saying that it'll make Lala upset. However, this could also be due to her own jealousy. Yuu wants Rito/Yui, although he is sympathetic to Rito's trouble-filled life. Saruyama has often helped to encourage the Rito/Haruna ship. Oshizu supports Rito/Haruna. Using her ghost powers. Usually ends in FanService. Saki supports Rito/Rin and sets up a date between them in chapter 52. | |

Kyouko's first major chapter has her end up mostly-naked with Rito in an incredibly-cramped storage locker. Rito's literal penis may as well have been shunted into Hammerspace, the manga instead framing contact between other body parts as penetrative sex. By contrast, Kyouko's bare vulva is very clearly stimulated by rubbing against Rito's leg, to the point an abrupt shift makes her scream. | |

Batman Gambit: Squared. In one of the extra chapters, Mikan joins Rito in the bathroom because she knew Momo wouldn't barge in as she did for several days in a row before if he wasn't alone there. Mikan thinks her plan worked when Rito tries to leave the room and finds Momo just outside the door, who apologizes and leaves in a hurry. Then Rito, by then well used to the latter's antics, tells Mikan that she was most likely played from start so she would get into the bathtub together with him on her own volition. | |

Psychopathic Manchild: Lala, as a non-villainous example. If you think about it, she fulfills the traits: innocent, strong, very smart, often not considering the consequences of her actions and lacking common sense. | |

Character Development | |
To Love Ru (Manga) / int_3b113b7 | comment |
Character Development: For Yui when she and Rito get trapped in "the rain", ending up in Rito's house due to Momo's trickery and use of a shield that projected the rain. Then Yui basically offers herself to Rito after one of his Accidental Pervert moments, and Rito appears to almost ACCEPT this offer without any sort of "freak out". She even ends up [[spoiler:defending Rito when Risa spins her Day in the Limelight to tease Haruna. Yui says she knows that Rito wouldn't actually do what is being implied. . | |

To Love Ru (Manga) / int_3b789458 | comment |
Recurring Extra: Sayaka and Koromi are the two girls who make short appearance throughout the first series. Sayaka is the girl who usually wears two hairpins with short hair and Koyomi is the bespectacled girl with long hair. Also Agaru, the male class representative in Rito's class at his second year; he is drawn badly and always wears a pair of glasses. | |

Marilyn Maneuver: Saki tried to invoke this to seduce Rito when she tried to beat Lala by stealing her boyfriend. But he totally ignores her. A chapter has an alien cold virus makes Lala act shy and feminine. When a gust of wind blows up Lala's skirt, revealing her panties, Lala is immediately embarrassed and asks Rito if he saw. Oshizu does this to herself, when in a game where she plays the role of a ninja that uses a wind style technique, revealing her panties. | |

Date Peepers: Momo, Mea, Nana and Yami all travel in a group to follow Rito and Run on a date, though for different reasons. Yui also follows them, though we aren't shown her doing this until she and Nana burst out to interrupt the date. In Darkness, Saki insists Rin go out on a date with Rito, while whispering well-meant guidance into Rin's ear the whole time while she and Ayako follow along. Thing is, Saki's idea of a romantic date and her lack of restraint not only tend to severely impede any actual chemistry between Rin and Rito, they create a parade of Rin's suffering. | |

Beach Episode: Several times that include: a school trip, an invitation to Saki's private beach, or when they go to Okinawa with Lala's teleporter machine and turns out that they are on a separate planet, called Okiwan!. The third OVA. It is so overloaded with fanservice it seemingly forgets to have a plot or dialog and just features the girls posing in swimsuits to ambient music for several minutes at a time. And then there's the comparison of tanlines near the end... The last story-arc is set in a public pool. | |

To Love Ru (Manga) / int_479f9ad0 | comment |
Characterization Marches On: It's stated in the first chapter that except for matters dealing with women, Rito is aggressive and strong. Unfortunately, he's almost always dealing with women, so this attribute usually only surfaces when a new haremette shows up that needs to be impressed by his hot bloodedness, or when one of his existing haremettes is in trouble. | |

Butt-Monkey: The Principal is biggest in the series. See The Chew Toy. Yui. Initially, the harder she tries to keep order, the more screwy fate treats her. Seriously, just how many times has she been involved in Rito's... accidents? Zastin; quite explicitly in the manga, while he's merely an idiot in the anime. Motemitsu essentially exists solely to show up at random times, fail horribly at whatever it is he's doing, and have everyone around comment on how they expected it. Saruyama that is envious of Rito for all of his Accidental Pervert situations. In an omake he tried to imitate Rito "incidents" and, instead,...he fall on The Principal! (Who had stripped to his boxers and was chasing a girl.) | |

Getting Crap Past the Radar: Article 175 of the Penal Code of Japan requires genitalia to be censored, even in pornography. However, To Love Ru Darkness has repeatedly shown vaginas in the reflections of things such as eyes and faucets. This is especially glaring considering the series was serialized in a Shōnen magazine, Shueisha's Jump Squarenote a sister magazine of Weekly Shōnen Jump, which ran its predecessor series. | |

Children Do the Housework: Mikan Yuuki, Rito's younger sister, is the one who often does chores like cooking and cleaning inside their house, as their parents either live somewhere else or are out of the house for long periods of time.

Everybody Knew Already: The schoolwide reveal of Lala being an alien only results in "Oh, that explains the tail." People in TLR are just way too easy-going about extraterrestrials... The usual reaction to new girls is "Oh, are you an alien too?" Rito's hidden feelings for Haruna have sort of evolved into this. To Saruyama and Mikan (those that know him best or at the very least longest) his crush is painfully obvious. Risa, Mio, Mikado and Ringo are implied to know, or at least suspect, and as of Darkness Lala and Momo know all about it. | |

Harem Seeker: An interesting inversion: Momo, one of the girls in Rito's Harem, wants to create the harem for him, with her in it, and pretty much every other female he has ever met. She thinks if he is forced to pick one, it probably wouldn't be her....so.... The example provided only reveals one character who MIGHT hold feelings for another (less love, more of a crush), and showed reasonable amounts of incentive to fall in love with Rito. | |

HaremSeries | |
To Love Ru (Manga) / int_4d3f3fd3 | comment |
Harem Series: The story starts focused on a Betty and Veronica situation where Rito has a mutual attraction to Haruna neither will act on, gradually starts to warm up to his initially-unwanted fiance Lala, and didn't evoke any interest from the supporting female characters (like Risa, Mio, or Saki's group). However, near the end of the manga's first year, it began to introduce a number of girls who became Rito's Supporting Harem (Run, Yui, Yami, Momo, Nana), even as Rito's affection stayed on Haruna and Lala. Darkness switches to a Balanced Harem where Haruna and Lala are comparatively Demoted to Extra, and while Momo and Yami receive the most attention, neither advances with Rito romantically—the former is actually trying to get Rito to Marry Them All. Oddly, though, Darkness occasionally shows Rito actually hasn't developed feelings for anyone besides Haruna (and even his growing attraction to Lala in the original series is forgotten). | |

Early-Installment Weirdness | |
To Love Ru (Manga) / int_4f4372e9 | comment |
Early-Installment Weirdness: The first two volumes are fairly different from the rest of the series. The fanservice, while present, is nowhere near as pervasive or explicit as it gets in later chapters, and some chapters barely contain any. Furthermore, the plot is primarily focused more on Rito having to deal with all of Lala's alien suitors. That plotline vanishes fairly early on, and the plots become much more character-driven and focused on the relationships within the cast. | |

Hat of Flight: Lala's winged hat in her standard costume. The manga explains they're anti-gravity wings when they sprout out the back of her bikini in the obligatory Beach Episode. | |

There's also episode 23.

Cannot Spit It Out: Subverted. Rito does confess to Haruna on several occasions... except something (usually Lala) always happens to prevent her from hearing it until the end. Averted for Rito towards Lala though. As soon as he is sure of his feelings, he takes her aside and tells her he loves her. He then proceeds to, at her insistence, attempt to confess to Haruna, only to be interrupted by her running away and getting replaced by half the female cast just in time for him to say the three magic words. This being the end of the last chapter, much rage ensued. The prologue chapter of Darkness explains he told the girls that he was talking to/about the pool. One has to wonder just how much Yui can possibly hold in every time she's alone with Rito. | |

Culture Clash | |
To Love Ru (Manga) / int_70ade2c4 | comment |
Culture Clash: There is a very subtle one between Devilukes and Humans, particularly Lala; she doesn't use honorifics, has no nudity taboo which she claims is due to her upbringing, doesn't mind the idea of Rito having multiple lovers as it's considered normal for royalty to have a harem, her people are essentially conquerors and she herself doesn't mind fighting either. Momo and Nana are generally better at fitting in, so it's hard to say what are typical behaviours for a member of the Deviluke race and what are just Lala's quirks. | |

Unwanted Harem | |
To Love Ru (Manga) / int_71019994 | comment |
Unwanted Harem: Well for starters, Rito didn't ASK for a hot naked alien princess to teleport into of all places his bathtub while he was using it! (along with the subsequent Accidental Marriage! All he wanted to do was keep trying to confess to the girl of his dreams! Nor did the poor sap ask for at least three to four different cock teases who have all but flat out asked/begged Rito to bang them; a tsundere who secretly likes him and also wants the D (supposedly at least), despite treating Rito like a sick pervert (though its not always his fault perverted shit keeps happening to him); two different assassins, one who will murder him if he so much as looks at her funny, and one who's intent on making Rito her servant (read sex slave), and that is probably only scratching the surface! | |

Adaptation Explanation Extrication: Anime-only viewers do not have the slightest idea about who Celine is and where she comes from. This because the first anime series removed several elements of the manga (included her entire rescue-arc) while the second anime and more closely the manga, "Motto To Love Ru", start from a point in which she is already present in the story. | |

When she pinches his cheek to have him release her, his response is to claim that the 'marshmallow bit him'. | |

Proud Warrior Race Guy | |
To Love Ru (Manga) / int_8c1ad82f | comment |
The Devilukeans are a warrior race, after all. It's just that the ones we always see are a trio of pampered teenage princesses. Not to mention the revelation that the Great Galactic War lasted for centuries (meaning it presumably started generations before any of the cast were born), which would imply that Gid actually saved countless lives by putting an end to it. | |

The Modest Orgasm | |
To Love Ru (Manga) / int_92370007 | comment |
The Modest Orgasm: In one of the bonus chapters from the Darkness series, Yui ends up in a compromising position on a train with a bag containing a vibrating toy pressed up against her crotch, causing a Forced Orgasm. The afterglow in the subsequent scene makes it obvious what happened to the viewer, but she apparently controlled herself well enough that nobody noticed. | |

Speaking Up for Another: This is the prime reason that Rito Yuuki loves Haruna Sairenji. When they were younger, he found the class garden torn up and destroyed. He was inspecting the damage when other classmates found him there, and believed he was the one responsible. Everyone believed it was Rito, and was disparaging him. Except for Haruna, who said she believes him when he says he didn't do it, because she feels like he isn't the sort of person who would do something like that. | |

Celine's pollen makes anyone, regardless of age, gender or sexual orientation fall in love with Rito. When his sister Mikan gets a blast of it... she asks, "What? did you think I'd just run and start clinging onto you? Please." It turns out that the potion did work, but Mikan managed to fight it off, making this a rare opportunity where both people were this. | |

Screw Yourself: In chapter 74, Nemesis transforms Rito into his Riko self, changes Riko's clothes to the schoolgirl clothing, changes herself into a more badass looking Rito, and starts doing the exact same thing Rito has been doing to the other girls in quick succession. We're explicitly shown intense groping and even nipple-sucking, and it's heavily implied that Nemesis performed oral sex on Riko to the point of orgasm between panels. | |

Barbie Doll Anatomy | |
To Love Ru (Manga) / int_9d1cc720 | comment |
Barbie Doll Anatomy / Nipple and Dimed: Both. The serialized version of the manga that appears in the magazines utilizes the first trope, with the nipples never being drawn. The collected volumes avert it, as the nipples are put back in. For some bizarre reason, the second anime avoids the first with one exception: Mikan and Yami lack nipples. Even though the even younger-looking Nana and Momo have them. It makes no sense. | |

After Rito excuses himself (read: runs for it), Akiho goes into a breakdown while apologizing to Haruna for interrupting her time with Rito and remains in such self-recrimination for apparently hours after the fact. | |

In "Darkness" she is also promoted to new potential harem member for Rito. | |

Imagine Spot: Momo has one of the heavily censored kind when she thinks of Rito. And multiple somewhat less censored ones of how she hopes things will turn out during Rito's time alone with various individual harem-candidates. The actual events are invariably tamer than what Momo is hoping for (though still very much NSFW thanks to his Accidental Pervert nature). In Darkness, many of the girls seem to be developing powerful fantasies based around Rito. Yui, for example, is constantly imagining herself in the role of wife and mother. | |

Moral Myopia | |
To Love Ru (Manga) / int_b42b7e7b | comment |
Moral Myopia: Sure, Lala's a bright, sweet and kind-hearted girl who looks out for and cares about everyone, even her romantic rival, but the fact she's never shown to be even slightly disturbed about the fact her father has committed genocidal extermination of millions, if not, billions of worlds makes you wonder how decent a person she really is. The Devilukeans are a warrior race, after all. It's just that the ones we always see are a trio of pampered teenage princesses. Not to mention the revelation that the Great Galactic War lasted for centuries (meaning it presumably started generations before any of the cast were born), which would imply that Gid actually saved countless lives by putting an end to it. | |

Hypocritical Humor: Lala admonishes her sisters for running away from home. Rito immediately lampshades the hypocrisy. The same scene repeats itself, pretty much verbatim, when Saki runs away from home and goes to Rito and Lala for help. Risa claiming that teasing women is sexual harassment. The look on her face makes it seem like an Invoked Trope. | |

Demoted to Extra: As Darkness is a sequel to To Love Ru, Lala and Haruna become background characters in the first half of this series. Saki. While in TLR was more or less a regular character, in Darkness she rarely appears. Probably because she is one of the few girls who are not in love with Rito. Saruyama almost never shows up and just in brief scenes. Even Ren, another example of this trope, has more screentime than him. Run doesn't get to spend much time with Rito either, mostly because of her work as an idol, but also due to the sheer amount of girls around him. | |

Double Standard: Abuse, Female on Male | |
To Love Ru (Manga) / int_c0e3994b | comment |
Double Standard: Abuse, Female on Male: Yami makes her hatred of "ecchi" people clear by hitting or slashing at men or boys (especially Rito) who accidentally get a look under her skirt or touch her breasts - or even just look at her with too much admiration. But when a girl fondles her while another flips up her skirt to check out her panties, she merely asks them - rather weakly - to please stop. Invoked in a chapter of Darkness where Rito, in Haruna's body, slips in the hallway on a banana peal and accidentally gropes Yami. Yami states that Haruna gropes her just as Rito has, but because it is Haruna she will let it slide. | |

To Love Ru (Manga) / int_c289826f | comment |
Double Standard Rape: Female on Male: Momo, Mea, and Nemesis have all sexually assaulted Rito (as well as "Riko"), which he never holds them accountable for or treats as more than a nuisance. While Nemesis' view of him as a potential Sex Slave is portrayed the most negatively, this doesn't keep her from having a Heel–Face Turn after Rito saves her life. Taken to the extreme in chapter 74, where Nemesis turns herself male and Rito female, and they have a prolonged sex scene that ends with Rito orgasming from implied cunnilingus. It is visibly a guy raping a girl, yet because their usual sexes are the opposite, the plot just moves on like nothing happened. | |

Defusing the Tyke-Bomb | |
To Love Ru (Manga) / int_c63ff64e | comment |
Defusing the Tyke-Bomb: Probably one of the oddest cases out there. It's later revealed that the eponymous "Darkness" is in fact Yami's Manchurian-esque Superpowered Alter Id who was supposed to use the full extent of her powers to deliver indiscriminate destruction in a planetary scale as her creators' way to say "frak you, galactic peace". It turns out that's no longer the case because after a year or so of frequent "accidents" courtesy of Rito, Yami ended up enjoying them on an unconscious level. End result: Darkness!Yami runs on her instinctual drives and thinks of Rito as the embodiment of everything it's perverted, good and feels better in the universe, which is bad news for him because in that state her idea of "becoming one with him" involves his death. | |

Playboy Bunny: When Rito first suggested Lala should dress to fit in with Earthpeople, she had Peke transform — and kept picking inappropriate garb to copy: a businessman's clothing, a policewoman's uniform, a Bunny... That one led Rito to wonder in shock where she'd seen it. At the start of the "Trouble Quest" arc, the Guild assigning "adventurers" their Character Class had a staff of Bunnies — well, actually, multiple copies of one Bunny (there was also a Bunny on the sign outside the door). Then, when Yami shows up, she's been dressed as a Bunny as part of her character class. Yami, who hates anything Ecchi... During Peke's (actually Rito's) malfunction in Chapter 143 / Episode 09 of Motto To Love Ru, Lala ends up in a tiny swimsuit and Haruna in this. Oh yeah, and Oshizu was dressed as Enma Ai. | |

Instant Cosplay Surprise: One time when Peke gets confused and dizzy it ends up flying from person to person, changing their outfits into something much more fanservicey. A separate time, when Rito becomes Peke he loses control and transforms half the class's gym clothes into extremely revealing costumes, including Yui wearing a whipped cream bikini. | |

Unlimited Wardrobe: Sort of: Peke can copy any outfit that Lala asks him to, from casual wear to nurse uniforms. However, too much time spent in clothing-form will cause her to wear down and cause Clothing Damage, and we all know where that leads... There's also the fact that if the hat (Lala's primary outfit) or hairpin (all her other outfits) come off, so do the clothes. Later in the manga, Peke ends up becoming dizzy and flies from one girl to the other, destroying their current outfits and replacing them with previous outfits Lala wore in the series. When Peke ends up on Rito, it mimics a one-shot joke outfit: a whipped cream bikini... | |

Vitriolic Best Buds: Everyone knows Yami isn't going to kill Rito. She may beat him within an inch of his life after certain incidents, but she'll protect him just as much as any of her other friends if it matters and no on has any concern about her being around him. Becomes a Running Gag fairly quickly, with Yami saying he is her target and Rito pretending to take her seriously. In one case, he picks her up and carries her to Dr. Mikado when she collapses with an illness.....while taking a swipe at him. | |

Unusually Uninteresting Sight | |
To Love Ru (Manga) / int_d99a228f | comment |
Unusually Uninteresting Sight: Lala's tail. A bit of a subversion, as everyone notices, but just thinks it's an accessory of some kind when they first meet her. Even when Rito accidentally reveals to Haruna, Mio, Risa and Kenichi that Lala is an alien, none of them think it's any big deal. Aside from thinking that it's cool and explains a lot, they barely react. They're similarly nonchalant about discovering that Ren and Run are male and female personas of the same alien and that Yami is an alien shapeshifter. It soon becomes widely known that the characters are aliens, and nobody at all seems to mind. Lala's inventions would also fall under this trope. Possibly averted as Saki's Tenjouin Group also seems to have some interesting technology(more so in the anime). This probably explains why no one was that surprised when Lala admits to being an alien. | |

The Nudifier: Lala's personal teleporter has this as a side effect since for some reasons, it will only teleport the person. Any items they may be carrying, including clothes, are left behind. There's also a gas with the specific purpose of dissolving clothing, which Run uses occasionally. It always backfires on her, and fanservice ensues. Later, Lala's attempt to fix this flaw in her teleporter fall rather short: it now allows some of the person's clothes to be teleported with them. As Rito notes, this isn't actually an improvement over being naked. | |

Defying the Censors: Seems to be doing this in response of the outrage of Moral Guardians towards fanservice. Both a higher density and more risqué fanservice are prominent which show no signs of letting up. Supporters of one of Japan's recent censorship laws cited Darkness specifically as a reason for its passage. Yabuki's response? Take the fanservice up a few notches, essentially daring the government to try and stop him. The series was later specifically found not to be in violation of the law. | |

It turns out the whole thing was a dream as he wakes up and finds a naked Lala next to him (who was apparently dreaming of him), to which he freaks out and faints. Episode 23 has Saruyama becomes jealous of Rito's popularity and wishes he was a noble in Edo Castle. He then has daydreams of his many adventures as the ruler of Edo Castle, where all his friends make appearances. | |

Clingy Jealous Girl: Mostly averted: only one or two girls show any sign of jealousy (Run and/or Yui), with the latter debatable. Hell, Lala seems to enjoy it when he spends time with the other girls. What is interesting is that Run and Yui only display one characteristic; Run is clingy, but doesn't really get jealous, while Yui gets jealous but can hardly be called clingy. | |

Moment Killer: Lots, though Rito-Haruna moments suffer the most. Mikan also tries to keep an eye on Rito when any of the girls are around, and when waking him up in the morning. She keeps an eye on Momo in particular. | |

Covert Pervert | |
To Love Ru (Manga) / int_edfacbac | comment |
Covert Pervert: Rito. By Darkness he seems to be strangely fine with the 'Harem Plan' and dreaming of naked girls in the bath, or any time one (or more) of the girls makes sexual innuendo, especially Momo. He calls himself a pervert when he realized that he recognized Momo from the shape of her butt (while transformed into a mouse and looking up at her from the floor). He can also recognize Nemesis in her alternate form by contacting with her crotch. | |

Promotion to Parent | |
To Love Ru (Manga) / int_f12d9d83 | comment |
Promotion to Parent: In a weird way, both Rito and Mikan promoted themselves to this role for each other in the face of their parents' long absences. It's much more noticeable in Mikan, who is generally more emotionally mature and takes care of the household chores, but Rito, especially in the pair's younger years, looked after and protected Mikan, continues to worry over her and goes the extra mile to make sure she's happy. | |

Goggles Do Something Unusual | |
To Love Ru (Manga) / int_f1716087 | comment |
Goggles Do Something Unusual: in one chapter Rito dons a pair of X-ray glasses that somehow latch on to his head. This being To Love Ru, of course, we get to see "Rito Vision" of various girls in their lingerie. At one point, he accidentally adjusts the intensity, which renders them totally nude after that. He also gets some fan disservice, because those glasses allow to see through male clothing as well. Near the end, Rito somehow ended up under Run's groin, and she sneezes and transforms into Ren in which Rito commented 'has become something much worse' and he passed out. Again in an extra chapter of sequel "Darkness". Thanks to one of Momo's plants, Rito becomes a pervert and grabs the glasses which allows him to see through clothes of many girls until he is stopped by Momo. | |

Innocent Innuendo | |
To Love Ru (Manga) / int_f288cf3 | comment |
Innocent Innuendo: Yuuki Rito is a beast. Double Entendre: or single entendre? Besides from referring his Accidental Pervert nature, it also implies something else. Mikan mistakenly believes Momo and Rito are doing something naughty after hearing a bit of suggestive dialogue. It turns out that they're just playing a video game. Mikan even lampshades the familiarity of the scene. Of course, this being Momo (who notes she didn't sneak into Rito's bed "this time"), the innuendo probably wasn't so innocent at all. | |

Battle Harem | |
To Love Ru (Manga) / int_f6ce4c24 | comment |
Battle Harem: The universe should consider itself lucky that To Love Ru is a romantic comedy. To wit, Rito gains the unwavering allegiance of three shape-shifting living weapons, all of whom are experts in infiltration and assassination, especially Nemesis who can hide in other people's bodies, the three Deviluke sisters, each of whom has unique ability (Lala has super-strength and is a Teen Genius, Momo can control the plants and Nana the animals), Rin, who is a Master Swordsman and Kyoko that has fire-based powers. The other girls are normal humans, except Run, with no particular ability, although, if pushed into a long-term campaign do have skills very well suited towards non-combat support. If push comes to shove, even the "normal human" Haruna can wield Rito as a club, and has to devastating effect. Anime only Haruna also has access to a very powerful giant ape. | |

Technical Virgin | |
To Love Ru (Manga) / int_fdc6d885 | comment |
Technical Virgin: To say the series lacks "actual sex" is only accurate on the basis of genital-to-genital contact, as several other sex acts are heavily implied. The series often shows orgasms of various levels of explicitness, whether from Rito's accidents or various devices. Some involve Fantastic Arousal or touching non-private parts, but others involve touching bare breasts or rubbing clothed genitals. Yui and Momo have both put their mouths on Rito's penis. The former was very brief and accidental, but the latter was deliberately attempting fellatio in the bath and it's not clear how far she went. Kyouko's first major chapter has her end up mostly-naked with Rito in an incredibly-cramped storage locker. Rito's literal penis may as well have been shunted into Hammerspace, the manga instead framing contact between other body parts as penetrative sex. By contrast, Kyouko's bare vulva is very clearly stimulated by rubbing against Rito's leg, to the point an abrupt shift makes her scream. One of the times Rito is gender-bent into Riko, Momo tries to finger her until Mea walks in on them. Again, it's not clear how far she went, but the anime is particular has a long pause that suggests Momo's fingers were well inside. Both Lala and Riko climax on-screen from cunnilingus (especially obvious in the former's case). Dialogue and Visual Innuendo making it clear they had their clitorises directly stimulated by the tongues of a sleeping Rito and transformed Nemesis, respectively. | |

Cut Short: The original manga series ends very abruptly with Rito attempting a Love Confession to Haruna that is mistaken as being directed to many of his female suitors at once. It's speculated this was because the series' artists was going through a divorce and custody battle at the time. The series continued in Darkness about a year later. | |
