| THIS IS A MANGA ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS ANYTHING BEYOND THIS CHAPTER. ---------------------------------------- It ended... A somewhat disappointing end tbh. Though Momo and Nemesis made the end less underwhelming. Is not completely over since there will be 2 Extra chapters in the next months. So at least I'm expecting a proper ending in these. Anyway I have to admit I'll miss Momo, the rest of the girls and of course Rito's falls. |

| well it ended more or less the same way as the original series and I'm ok with that for now would of liked more Nana but Yami getting a lot of focus is what made this season so good in my opinion will hope for a switch of main characters now if we do get a sequel |

I know why the original had an open ending and I was hoping that Darkness would have the real conclusion. I liked darkness more than the original but with an ending like this it the whole sequel seems a little pointless to me.well it ended more or less the same way as the original series and I'm ok with that for now Yami developed a lot as a character and I got more Nana of course not as much as I would of preferred but its better than nothing |
|
Lex1979 said: well Yami not getting as much development as she could of can be seen as a shame but if they would of focused on her too much the other girls would of gotten less screen time which I wouldn't have likedYami and Momo are definitively the highlights of Darkness. Sadly I tend to see the glass half empty so while I like their development I can't stop regretting that hadn't been done more. |
|
| I feel very disappointed about the ending... I kinda expecting to show Rito to decline his feeling towards the other girls who confessed to him.. But no... Another cliché scene of Momo & Nemesis on the bed with Rito.. Eww... Fuck this bullshit.. So repetitive, it totally make sense why the manga ended the way it did... :( The only thing that I'm grateful about Darkness is that it gave Yami some character development but other than that is meh.. |
Lex1979 said: Im not seeing any untapped potentialDeknijff said: Nana and Yui, on the other hand, have so much untapped potential...well Yami not getting as much development as she could of can be seen as a shame but if they would of focused on her too much the other girls would of gotten less screen time which I wouldn't have liked they are well established and all they are truly lacking is screen time |

Lolimancer said: got any source about that information?Just so you guys know, they're not even extra chapters that are coming. They're just short stories that won't even be bundled with the final volume. or is it just something you heard online? |
|
Lolimancer said: oh ok I see One of the guys on /a/ who translate spoilers for this and other series confirmed it. He said we shouldn't expect them to give any sort of conclusion to the series. well ok then |
|
| I wonder if manga publishers just don't allow full harem endings? It never seems to happen even when people want it. Does anyone know where I could find the raws? |
| Well, this ending appears to have sucked, though maybe not as badly as the first manga's did. It doesn't even look like much of an ending to me, to be honest. It annoys me how Hasemi was incapable of pulling off a decent ending and opted for an open ending. It's like he's trolling us, even the Japanese fans. It further proves he is an amateurish writer who can only write guilty pleasure material. TheExile285 said: I wonder if manga publishers just don't allow full harem endings? It never seems to happen even when people want it. Does anyone know where I could find the raws? I doubt the publishers stop the authors from doing so. I believe many authors are "afraid" from diverging from other harem mangas, or they have great difficulty writing a harem ending that works. As for the raws, you can find them at raw.senmanga.com, but I don't think they're uploaded yet. |
| Look likes there's going to be another OVA episode of To Love Ru & also 2 extra chapters: https://myanimelist.net/news/49839044 |
| From what I've heard this is basically looking like another A well loved series that looked like it might actually have a harem ending, then ends with an unsatisfying open ending. I really hope there's going to be a 3rd "season". *Added* After reading chapter 77 I'm dropping my score to a 9. I absolutely LOVE this series, but IF this is THE ending to this series then it just overtook Rosario Vampire on my list for most disappointing endings ever. Hell, at least in Rosario Vampire.... I really freaking hope that we get another "season" of TLR to reach a freaking conclusion. |

Casyle said: I really hope there's going to be a 3rd "season". That could be a possibility eventually, but I bet that'll end with a shitty open ending as well. |
Would have given it a higher score because of the revolutionary attempts to bypass censorship. Hower, the unconclusive ending, after so many years, was definitely disappointing. At least we got our Mea x Nana Yuri ship! |
| Well.... I guess that's that. Scans are out on reddit now at least All-in-all, if this truly is all there is to it and we're not getting a continuation, then I'll be very disappointed. This has been by far the best ecchi/harem I have ever read for many years now, and seeing it being cut short before the harem ending could come into fruition would be such a huge waste of potential. I'm honestly not sure if I can justify keeping it at a 10 anymore if this is truly the case (still a bit on the fence on that part). But at least the last line gives some hope that a sequel might be coming in the future, though I won't get my hopes up too high Either way though, nothing can take away from the fact that the chapters we got of Darkness have been absolutely blissful. This manga has constantly pushed the limits of what the ecchi/harem genre is capable of doing to a level which I have never seen anywhere else. Seeing one of my favorite series being cut short like this truly hurts, but I guess you just have to look back on it and remember the journey rather than the ending Thanks you for everything regardless Yabuki and Hasemi. I really hope you will continue this franchise one day, but if you really want to move on to something new as I've heard rumors of, then good luck with that and best wishes to you in the future as well |

| After reading the translation, the ending may be kinda bad sure but at least Rito didn't gave in to that harem bullshit ^^ Hehehe, have Momo as a main character serves no purposes at all, does nothing but do perverted stuff towards Rito most of the time... Just move on, you pushy bitch and also Nemesis as well!!! -_____- |
| well as I too have read the translations now I can give my final thoughts All that truly happened is that Haruna got to confess and be confessed to by Rito like with Lala in the first manga so more or less it is just a rehash of the first manga but were it truly stud out from the original was to give Yami all her development which I personally liked and would have no problem giving the manga a 9 but I can't simply ignore all the torture Momo has given me now these past years to the point I actually welcomed the censorship in the anime and yet I didn't get to see her get rejected which is pretty sad for me. I wanted to see her cry in true despair but Im glad I didn't have to see Nana get rejected which I've been mentally preparing myself for Im also glad the harem didn't happen so I don't have to worry about the girls being treated badly which is nice so hopefully there will be no sequel and it just ends here so that I don't have to worry about that anymore but if they want to make a Nana spin off I'm totally open to that idea if they do it like with the Railgun spin off of Index |
|
| Solid ending... IF there is a continuation, which I think will likely happen. The story & the franchise just aren't at an end point yet. As a standalone ending this would be disappointing, it feels like a transition chapter, it really doesn't have any ''end feel''. |
Zakokyara said: It annoys me how Hasemi was incapable of pulling off a decent ending and opted for an open ending. It's like he's trolling us, even the Japanese fans. It further proves he is an amateurish writer who can only write guilty pleasure material. What do you mean with ''guilty pleasure material''? To Love-Ru is a romance ecchi comedy, in my eyes it doesn't have to be very well written. The show does exactly what it intends to do. |
| It's nice to see Momo finally confess! Overall very unsatisfying. I really hope that the 2 extra chapters give some closure to the series. |
 |
| I could also see the authors pushing the ending of Darkness so that they end at volume 18, the original also ended at 18. I wonder - if there is a continuation - if it will take a different direction. More ecchi? Or back to more comedy again? And can they publish a thrid artbook with the rest of the color pictures? The last one was only release in May, not enough material for 100+ pages I think. |
| Not the best ending...pretty terrible one I'd say but there must be a sequel right? otherwise I would feel even worse. And preferably Momo is not the main heroine in the sequel, I miss Lala as the heroine... |
 |
| There's a lot I want to say, but the ending is just pretty unsatisfying.. Whether it isn't a happy end or is, I wanted a better conclusion for Lala and Yami since they're my favorites if I take everything into account, but it doesn't feel like I'll be getting that. Hopefully I'm wrong. Regardless of what happens, hoping to see more from Yabuki or Hasemi. If what you guys posted up there is true^ I wonder what kinda genre Yabuki will move onto. |
    |
| The ending felt pretty underwhelming to me. Only Momo's confession and Nemesis's trolling made it slightly entertaining. The most disappointing part for me is no appearance of Yami and everything just felt like it's another normal chapter. The final panel of this was also the principal...? Really? Sigh, at least it was a fun ride. They should do a spinoff of Nemesis. |
 |
| ......this is how it ends? |
| I can't believe it's finally over, and it really did wrap up pretty much the same way as the original. I'm fine with an open ending since that at least leaves the possibility of a sequel, although I kinda get the feeling we'd never get a definite conclusive ending either way. |
 |
| more or less same like original, and even possibility like original, lel... at least, the side character and "very little mc" has developed which is nice... 7/10 like original... waiting patiently for sequel probably next year like before... |
 "If taking responsibility for a mistake that cannot be undone means death, it's not that hard to die. At least, not as hard as to live on." |
| I was expecting an orgy |
 |
About time this finished for good. The vagina nightmare has ended. |
| Pretty Bad ending IMO |

Damn this better have a sequel to TRULY wrap things up otherwise this was really bad on a conclsution part. Worse thing knowing the author wasnt even being rushed or being threatened to have Tlr Darkness axed and still couldnt do a Goood ending with the harem! |
| "You can't spell slaughter without laughter". |
| Obvious ending. Though i don't care, i love TLR for characters, not story. Here Momo ending from game for you. Jap And my translation with poor english skill... |
