To LOVE-Ru Darkness (manga)

To LOVE-Ru Darkness is the sequel to the first manga series in the To LOVE-Ru franchise. It is notably more mature than 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, which occasionally borders on hentai.The manga series however has ended but two bonus chapters are planned to be released in may and June issues of Jump Square.

Plot
Rito remains unsuccessful and indecisive with his love for his crush, Haruna, and the alien princess, Lala. Meanwhile, Lala's little sister, Momo, also falls in love with Rito, and works on building a harem for him, in the hopes of giving herself a part of Rito's love life to include herself in. And so she enrolls in his school to secretly support all of Rito's love interests, and even attempts to find more, including recently enrolled alien assassin Golden Darkness, aka Yami. But another student, Mea Kurosaki, reveals herself to be Yami's little sister, and intends for Yami to return to being an assassin. Thus Rito's love trouble days continue on forever.

Criticisms
In April 2012, a To LOVER-ru Darkness volume was reviewed by the Tokyo government after receiving a complaint about frontal and lower body nudity. The volume was suspected to contain material that broke revision 156 of the Tokyo Ordinance on the Development of Healthy Youths. The conclusion was that the volume did not break the law, however the governing council did acknowledge the existence of the nudity mentioned beforehand. No other volume of To Love Ru: Darkness has been reviewed by the council since then.
