This article talk about the anime. For its original manga, see To Love Ru Darkness Manga Chapters

To Love Ru: Darkness is the sequel to the first manga series and the third anime series in the To Love Ru franchise. It is more mature than To Love Ru & Motto To Love Ru; it retains its usual perverted comedy, but with more focus on its plot and more serious story and character development, and now provides much more graphic fanservice. The series was announced on March 31st, 2012 and the first episode aired on October 5th of the same year on Tokyo MX.



The To Love Ru: Darkness anime series is composed of twelve episodes and four OVAs: one that serves as a pilot episode, another that serves as a side story between episodes 8 and 9. The third one serves as continuation of the series, after episode 12. The fourth ova is also a continuation of the series after episode 12. The anime is based on the To Love Ru: Darkness manga by Saki Hasemi and Kentaro Yabuki, and is more closely adapted to the manga than the first two series.

The opening theme for the anime is "Rakuen Project" by Ray; the ending theme is "Foul Play ni Kurari" by Kanon Wakeshima. The anime is produced by Xebec and directed by Atsushi Ootsuki.
