Bangaihen 17: Technique ~Door of A Maiden~ is the seventeenth bangaihen chapter of the To Love-Ru Darkness manga series.

Summary
In the beginning, Momo is looking at some underwear and garment into a shop and imagines Rito's reaction to see her wearing such clothes. Risa then appears whispering about Momo to be interested in such things and calls her a precocious child. Momo gets surprised and, after she sees her, asks Risa why she wears the school uniform on Sunday. Risa explains it's too bothersome to put regular clothes and a school uniform is like a brand in itself. Risa then asks Momo to go out on a date together, and Momo accepts, thinking its a good opportunity to sound out Risa's disposition for the Harem Plan.

The girls then go to Daril Cafe where Risa said she still doesn't believe to get to talk alone with Momo and its weird; Momo agreed. Momo thinks she really doesn't know what kind of person Risa is actually and just know her good technique in groping girls' chests. So Momo asks Risa if wouldn't she rather hang out with her boyfriend, and Risa answers that she doesn't have one. Risa admits she's not very popular and it's rather disheartening, but Momo says she's too modest and probably boys are just afraid to approach her. Risa then asks about Momo's situation with boys and mentions her fan club telling she could get her pick. But Momo, with false innocence, tells she's still child and such adult-like thing are too early for her while, compared to her, Risa looks more mature. Momo then asks Risa what type of men she prefer, and Risa answers someone like Rito, leaving Momo surpised.

Suddenly, Run and Kyouko (which were live-performing in a nearby theatre) appear escaping from the Principal and calling the security which chase the man. The Principal bumps with the table where Momo and Risa are, and the juice that they are drinking ends up on Momo who gets wet.

Afterwards, Momo is taking a shower in Risa's house to wash out the juice. Momo says sorry for inconvenience and asks if she have something to change because she was in the middle of shopping. Momo thinks how Risa invited her in a cheerful way and wonder if it was a good idea. However, thinking about Risa's words about Rito, Momo hopes that it might be the chance to get closer to her as a harem candidate.

Suddenly, Risa enters naked in the bath, asking Momo if she can wash her back. Momo gets surprised and embarrassed telling it's not necessary. But Risa puts a cake of soap in her hands, telling Momo to don't hold back and leave everything to her. Risa then starts to grope throughout Momo's body, commenting how she's very cute. Risa rubs even Momo's tail, making her to moan and says she likes the expression on her face. Embarassed and confused, Momo worries about Risa to be actually into female, despite her words about Rito. Momo then leaves with an excuse running. Risa guesses she teased Momo a little too hard, but she had a cute reaction just like "someone" (referring to Rito).

In Yuki's house, Rito sneezes, and Mikan asks him if he has a cold. Meanwhile, Momo is in her room, still embarrassed, and thinks that Risa is an unbelievable person.
