The art in the original weekly edition was already amazing but now that the author has a month to prepare it's just mind blowing. Tits aside, i really like how he's so good with hair and facial expressions.
Not to mention that each chapter seems to have an healthy dose of content, i can easily see this becoming one of my favorite monthly series ( not that the list is that long though... )

was Lala even in this chapter?
did she have any lines?
sig made by Itachi-y2k5, thanks, dude!
Currently Watching: probably a show directed at 9 years old girls, lets be honest.
You know the important distinction between Batman and me? Batman is fictional. In real life, there isn't always an alternative.
Lala isn't the main girl anymore
And yeah, she was
Lala was in this chapter, looking particularly fresh sporting a forward-tied hair style. Irresistible!
She's not much of a major character thus far because, frankly, she's a fairly static character and always has been. Nothing really gets her down, and she's too easy going and straightforward in what she wants to get any real growth out of her character. The only place the author could really go with her is maybe make her become more mature (in order to become Galactic Empress at Rito's side), but then she really wouldn't be herself anymore.
That's why I like this direction they are going focusing on Momo and Yami with Rito caught in the middle. Momo has always been ambitious enough and deceptive enough to have some real momentum in character development. The same goes for Yami, figuring out what kind of person she wants to be. Pretty much an Eve 1.5, just like she's always been since her first appearance.
To that end, I greatly enjoyed Yami's comment to Momo that she was at last seeing the "real" Momo. Of all the girl's in Rito's vicinity who can sense killing intent, Yami would be certainly the best at it. Momo really meant it. Momo's goal is a good one too. She devoutly wants Rito to wed her sister and take everyone else in as a concubine. It's the only way that all the girls could be happy.
Nana isn't much different from Lala, though it has shifted to her wanting a bit more carefree and normal life. Since Nana isn't anywhere as naive and innocent as Lala. The rest of the girls never really struck me as need much character development since most of them are rather flat stereotypes. Kotegawa is the tsundere, Haruna is the selfless nice girl and Oshizu (ghost girl) is the klutz. Run was one of the few girls late in the series to get any real development at all during the Kyoko mini-arc.
@Arch: Both the author and artist are male according to manga-updates. Yabuki Kentaro (the artist) is male for sure.
this chapter hit too close to hentai for me.
call me when it gets tied up, until then, I'm dropping this.

Man, it's amazing what the artist can accomplish when he has a whole month to work with
Shit looked amazing, i wish he focused his talents on something other than harem fluff
You mean like when he did Black Cat weekly?
Harem fluff it might be, but it is damn good harem fluff. All the other characters might have been pushed to the sidelines (no problem for me), but Momo versus Mea with Yami caught in the middle has been really entertaining. A lot better than the end of the original series since there is finally a continual plot.
None of the leads this time around are innocent. Momo's plans might be silly now, but once she finds out Mea is working for someone else, it will get very interesting. She'll have to toe the line constantly. She can't alienate her twin by directly assaulting her new friend, that would interfere with her harem plan. Also, Yami isn't going to sit by idly and be toyed with by the other two, she's pretty clever in her own right.
Darkness anime planned already?
Newspaper: To Love-Ru Darkness Manga Has Anime Planned

The forgotten Lala indeed
Momo is hot.
Heh. They sure took their sweet time translating it. I read this last week in spanish.Originally Posted by Marik
I was dissapointed at the lack of Momo this chapter. Haruna got the most of the fanservice this time... never been a fan of hers anyway.
Who needs tentacles when you got those mascots =P?
Hot.....
Stay classy Japan, stay classy
