I couldn't agree more, Vincetick. For me, To Love-Ru is a very "feel good" series: no major death scenes or action or all that mnay cliffhangers. You just sit back and enjoy what your reading the same way you enjoy a slice-of-life anime/manga like Nichijou or Azumanga Daioh. The characters develop, but only as much as they need to, and you're just in it to enjoy the ride as opposed to feeling every bump and quick turn on the way to the destination its headed towards. Ans when you think about it, Rito's not the only character who's had very little character development or, as Oppaichan put it, "lack of initiative". Lala's more serious, but not very. She's still a caring, silly, happy girl who knows who her friends are. Haruna's admitted taht she loves Rito, but she's still a very sweet, very nervous individual who can't say what's on her mind as much as she'd like to. Mikan's still Rito's sister who cares about him as family and would do anything to help him. Etcetera, etcetera. There have been cases of major character development in the series such as Yami, Run, Kotegawa, etc., but the vast majority of the characters are the same as we first met them: likable, simple yet complex, and more human than anything else (ironic since a vast majority of them are actually aliens or ghosts). What I'm saying is, Rito and the others are all part of the series for one reason: to make us smile and enjoy reading/watching what Kentaro Yabuki has in store for us. And me, personally? I think they do a great job of that.
