The April 2017 issue of Jump SQ, shipping on March 4, has been revealed to contain the final chapter of Kentaro Yabuki and Saki Hasemi's To LOVE-Ru Darkness manga. Two extra chapters of the manga will be released in the May and June 2017 issue of the magazine. The 18th and final volume of the series will go on sale on April 4. In addition, an OVA adapting the extra chapters, as well as a tenth anniversary book titled Trouble Chronicle (alternatively To LOVE-Ru Chronicle) has been planned for release on August 4.

The original To LOVE-Ru manga was serialized in Weekly Shounen Jump for 18 volumes between April 2006 and August 2009. The sequel, To LOVE-Ru Darkness, has been serialized in Jump SQ since October 2010. The series has inspired four TV anime seasons in Spring 2008, Fall 2010, Fall 2012, and Summer 2015, as well as multiple OVAs bundled with compiled manga volumes. Sentai Filmworks licensed the anime seasons for North American distribution and released the series in Blu-ray and DVD between December 2009 and November 2016.

Quite possible especially since two major characters recently confessed that they love Rito. They can't leave it like that.

If it gets a sequel, i hope it will turn into Ecchi Space Opera where Rito will ride the spaceship to travel in space and do ecchi things to every single aliens he met.

It will be weird to finish that series; it feels like it has been going on forever.

I wished for another season since another season of anime could completely adapt the rest of the manga chapters, but it looks like it won't happen. Well, at least we got OVA.

Eh that isn't "confirmed" or anything. The CR article itself was a speculation with a question mark at the end, could be side story or that tenth anniversary book too. Anyway it had a shit ending so fans will be really disappointed.

He's also moving away from romantic comedy manga, it's over for the franchise. I wonder what his next work will be. I also can't see the void being filled anytime soon due to how close we are to 2020, only doujin was saved from 2020, not official non-hentai manga or official hentai manga.

It's about time to conclude it. Darkness is suppose to be about Yami. Let's move on and #makelalarelevant again I say.

This desperately needs a continuation. You can't just end it like that. There's soooo much left to explore of the premise which Darkness originally built up

This has been one of my all-time favorite manga for many years now, but I have a hard time accepting it if it's really just going to end all of a sudden like this and never get another sequel. That would be such a disappointment. A franchise that has been publishing for 11 years at least deserves a proper ending, especially one which had the potential for an absolutely incredible ending for once

Duds probably got tired writing and drawing panties and ass shots all the time.

Just wondering what kind of ending will it have.

If the manga isn't currently way ahead of the anime: oh no, terrible
If the manga is far ahead of the anime: it had a good run

(I don't read the manga, the animators are the heroes of this IP wink wink nudge nudge)

The one ecchi ever that is worth watching for ecchi's sake alone. Probably because people are working on it that know human anatomy, unlike the virgins who spew out Highschool DxD, VDM, Shinmai Maou and other trash.

Cmon
Kentaro Yabuki and Saki Hasemi

You guys can't end it here... There is still more you can do. You haven't focused much on alot of the other girls. Highly doubt you guys are tired of doing a monthly release... They're other mangaka who does this weekly.

As for the OVA it's something atleast but honestly watching that ova and knowing no more new content to come is pretty effin depressing.

Eh, obviously it's gonna get another sequel, it's like one of the most popular ecchi series.



I'm just waiting on another anime season you feel me ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

I hope this question doesn't sound too stupid, but do you want a continuation of this series because you honestly like the story or just because you're sad that there won't be much more of this fanservice- & ecchi-filled fap material in the (near) future?

Many of you sound like a really good series is going to disappear ^^°

Well it is a really good series by ecchi standards. But yes people want a continuation because the story had the setup to actually deliver a true harem ending for once (as in the MC actually marrying all the girls) which would have been very satisfying to see, so just cutting the series short before getting to that point seems like such a waste of potential

To me both.

From the fanservice side the series could continue forever for me, from the story side there should be some decent form of closure. If you like a series very much you can become invested with the characters, even if it's a simple story as this.

To Love-Ru is just fun. It's light-hearted. Even if there is no new material you can always read the volumes randomly, that's why I like episodic series.

The series will not continue with a new storyline and new name because two main protagonists finally confessed their love for each other in mean Rito and Haruna.The main focus was just confession which they finnaly did.So story ended with great disappointment that it will not continue anymore.
