Reclaim The Body

Reclaim The Body is the sixty-fifth chapter of To LOVE-Ru.

Plot
Oshizu explains to Lala, Risa, and Mio who she is and why she is in Haruna's body. The ghost says sorry for the situation and adds she just wanted to see the world. Lala is interested in the ability of the ghost to combine with Earth people while Rito is less thrilled. They all agree that it would be a good idea to go see Mikado-sensei about this mess.

After examining Haruna's body, Mikado tells them that there's not too much that medicine can do for a ghost. Even for medical science, spirits and such are again an unknown area. Oshizu doesn't know what to do, and Mikado says the only thing she knows is that ghosts give off a different wavelength than humans. Suddenly, Mio notes that Oshizu disappeared. Indeed, the ghost is running away and is worried about Haruna. Once she stops on the street, Oshizu is startled by a truck and, when watching a TV (in a store) airing Magical Kyouko, wonders what is it.

Meanwhile, at school, everyone is looking for Oshizu and is very worried. As it turns out, Mikado told them that there could be a possibility that Haruna's consciousness could disappear. Rito asks Lala if she has something useful. Lala quickly builds an invention that can use wavelengths to track down Oshizu and flies off leaving Rito behind. Suddenly, Oshizu comes walking up to Rito and apologizes for running off, and he understands that Lala's invention is a failure.

Rito then explains the situation to Oshizu. The ghost has an idea to do something that would awaken Haruna's consciousness. Oshizu focuses and dives into her mind, finding an image of Rito and understanding the feelings of the girl. So, Oshizu tells Rito to kiss her despite that it is embarrassing for both. But right as she's about to kiss him, two dogs bark, scaring Oshizu out of Haruna. Haruna awakes, holding Rito's head, and moves away, saying sorry while the boy wonders if he should relieved or disappointed.

Later on, Oshizu apologizes to everyone for the trouble caused. Especially Haruna who, despite being still scared of the ghost, says to her don't worry. Oshizu explains that she has been afraid of dogs ever since she was alive. Suddenly, Risa gropes Haruna to make sure it is her. Meanwhile, Lala's invention has brought her to a couple of other ghosts.
