Villainous Valentine

Villainous Valentine is the fortieth chapter of To LOVE-Ru.

Summary
On his way to school, Rito contemplates it's Valentines Day and he only ever gets chocolate from Mikan. Rito is then determined to get chocolate from Haruna thinking that their relationship has improved, then brushing it off as too good to be true.

Meanwhile Haruna walks towards him, revealing that she bought chocolate for Rito, but is too nervous to give it to him, and passes it off as "Giri" (obligatory) chocolate. The two then run into each other and walk to school together. Haruna asks where Lala is and Rito explains that she had some stuff and told him to go on without her. Both try to think of something to say and all Rito can think of is that it's good weather outside.

At school, Kenichi remarks how odd it is to see Rito and Haruna walking together which Rito gets angry over. Saruyama then asks Haruna if she has chocolate in her bag by chance and if they are "Honmei Chocolates" (chocolates given by one to someone that they like), which embarrasses Haruna who runs off. Rito and Saruyama then wonder who the chocolates are for. Just then, Lala shows up and offers Rito and Saruyama a chocolate telling Rito that she is planning on giving one to everyone in the class for Valentines Day. Rito then notices that Lala is giving them to people (like Sayaka) regardless of gender. Risa and Mio thank Lala for the chocolates, saying they are delicious, which makes Lala very happy.

Suddenly, Risa and Mio feel strange and start to tenderly embrace each other. The entire class starts to act very odd, with boy and girls embracing each other. Then Ren goes up to Rito explaining how he got Lala chocolates to make him even with Rito. A moment after, the boy jumps at Rito calling him wonderful. Lala then thinks everyone is enjoying themselves while Rito notices it isn't natural. Suddenly, Risa and Mio run up to Lala telling her that they love her and hug the girl.

Rito then rescues Haruna from a horde of classmates and the two hides in the athletics storage. Rito finds that the chocolates are the only reason that the people are acting so strange. Suddenly, Haruna starts to feel hot and moves towards Rito; even the girl is has fallen to Lala' chocolate. Meanwhile Lala is still being chased by Risa and Mio.
