Exercise Elegy is the one hundred and fifteenth chapter of To LOVE-Ru.

Summary
In the girl's locker room, Risa is very upset by a slight love-handle she has. Haruna says her to don't worry, but Risa disagree and think she should exercise. Mio proposes to asks around about some of the girl's secrets to maintain their looks. Risa thinks it is a great idea, and teases Haruna stating that she will also try to find a way to make her chest bigger and Haruna facetiously thanks her.

In 2-A class, Risa asks Lala how she maintains her figure and Lala admits that she doesn't do anything to maintain it. Peke then explains that this is a trait Lala inherited from her mother. Indeed Lala states she don't get any fatter no mattter how much she eat. Risa is very envious and commenting on Lala's perfect chest, waist and hips. Risa then teases Rito about how tempting Lala's figure is and Haruna overhears it worried that Rito like big breast. Haruna then remember all the effort she has put into her chest growing, but with very limited results.

But Rito tells Risa that a man is making a big mistake if he looks only for appearance in a girl and it's not what's on the outside that matters, but rather the inside. Haruna is very impressed form his words and Lala says that she knew that was how he felt. Risa then teases Rito by pulling up her skirt, showing her panties and asking if he wants to know what's inside. Rito blush scared and Risa laughs at how easy it is to get a man to look. Haruna says her to stop and Yui then comes up and yells at Risa too telling her to refrain from doing anything that will damage the school's morals. Risa then grope Yui'chest saying that, despite what her words, she has a very nice and morally-offensive figure. Yui yells her even more and Risa understand she went too far and run away with Mio and Haruna.

Later, Risa asks Run how she maintains her figure since she's an idol. Run tells them its very difficult and that she constantly buys new exercise equipment changing ones rapidly. Next up they ask Yami who tells them that fighting is the best way to train he body and asks Risa if she wants to be her opponent which Risa obviously declines. Risa also asks to other girls like Sayaka who tells her to refrain from mid-day-snacking.

Risa is upset that there's not just one surefire method, but remembers that she forgot one vital person, Mikado-Sensei. Mikado tells them that, despite her great figure, she doesn't concern herself with that. Mikado suggest them to fall in love if they want feel beautiful because if you fall in love you'll work hard to improve yourself. Risa admit she has neglected love latey. Mikado ask her what she doing recently to improve her figure and Risa says she has been skipping breakfast which Mikado-Sensei tells her is not a good option. Overhearing the conversation, Oshizu then comes in telling them that, when she was alive, there were many people who wanted to eat but couldn't. Oshizu ask them why they want to do something so unnecessary like lose weight (by emotion, her spirit come out from the artifical body while she's talking) making them feel guilty.

Lala then comes up, telling Risa that she has invented a machine for losing weight that Rito is testing. The machine is called Umpaka-kun and resembles a mechanical-horse which Rito is riding but it don't stop. Shocked, Risa then tells Oshizu that she is fine the way she is. After, Saruyama asks a much thinner Rito if he go on a diet.
