I don't normally read these non-serious manga's so please forgive me if I'm a bit harsh, but after a while I got the tone of the manga and enjoyed it.

Story: So the story is good and funny, but I only rated it a 6 because I found there's a lot of filler. I know it's kind of a sitcom type manga, where every other chapter there is SLIGHT character growth, etc, but I got used to it. The situations are very ecchi, and are funny too, so I didn't mind. But again, the lack of plotline and character development (minus the main character) kind ...

The setting involving space is somewhat important because although the story takes place in contemporary Japan, ...

A wise man once said of this manga, "How is this so popular? Is it the nipples?" and he was completely right.

After going through like 6 different harem series to get a full idea of what the genre has in store I finally ended up on To Love-Ru.

From there it's just random series of events where the MC ends up fondling ...
