☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Trouble 71: The Enemy of My Enemy Is My Friend?", Saki’s long-held feelings for Zastin finally reach a tipping point—just as Rin and Aya orchestrate a surprise reunion at school, reminding her of their shared past and loyalty. With the moment nearly perfect, chaos erupts when Lala’s spicy bento takes control of Rito, sending him fleeing and accidentally exposing Saki to Zastin in the most mortifying way. Written by Saki Hasemi and Alex Gaspard, with art by Kentaro Yabuki and cover by Yabuki and Nicky Lim, this lighthearted yet emotionally charged chapter captures the messy, heartfelt energy of high school romance.
When Run and Saki both find themselves at odds with Lala, their shared frustration sparks an unlikely alliance—though their plan to humiliate her backfires spectacularly. Forced to rethink their strategy, they make a dangerous choice: hiring the mysterious assassin Yami to deal with the problem.
In "Trouble 72: The Strongest Girl in the Universe," Lala and Golden Darkness go head-to-head in a high-energy clash that leaves the school in ruins. With Lala firing energy blasts from her tail and Golden Darkness holding her own, the fight ends in a mutual draw—both declaring it a satisfying workout and eager to rematch. Saki, meanwhile, is left footing the bill for the reconstruction, all while Principal and Kirisaki Kyouko make brief cameos.
In "Trouble 73: Bad Mood? Good Mood?", Mikan’s sudden moodiness sends Rito on a quiet search through the Sainan shopping district, where fleeting moments of memory and a secret snow-making device spark unexpected warmth. As Lala’s well-meaning interference blurs the line between help and chaos, the day unfolds in a mix of quiet connection and playful missteps—leaving the aftermath of a snowstorm still echoing the day’s quiet magic.
In "Trouble 75: A Curious Relationship," a mischievous Oshizu returns to guide Haruna, who’s torn between confessing her feelings for Rito and supporting her close friend Lala. With Oshizu temporarily possessing Rito and causing chaos at school, Haruna finds herself caught between her heart and her loyalty—especially when Rito invites her to join Lala for dinner. The moment hangs in the balance, as Haruna weighs what truly matters.
When a strange noise draws Rito and Haruna to the kitchen during a sleepover, they assume a burglar’s in the house—especially with Mikan, Lala, and Yami fast asleep. Hiding in a cramped closet with Haruna, the tension builds until Rito bolts out, only to be knocked out cold by the unexpected intruder: his drunk father, who thought Rito was the thief.
In "Trouble 79: A Choice," a sudden organic slime attack threatens Yui and Haruna, drawing the attention of Keiz and his forces. With Dr. Mikado caught between negotiation and danger, unexpected allies like Lala and the mysterious Golden Darkness step in—though not before Rito’s desperate attempt to help proves futile. The fate of the hostages hangs in the balance as secrets from Mikado’s clinic unravel.
In "Trouble 80: Love Master," Lala tries to win Rito’s heart by following a book of 100 Seduction Techniques, with Risa and Mio’s enthusiastic (if misguided) help. Every attempt only leaves Rito confused—and slightly concerned—until a simple moment of shared fun brings them both a quiet, unexpected joy.
In "Trouble 81: Love Queen?!", Tenjouin Saki’s long-held crush on Zastin reaches a breaking point when her friends Rin and Aya enlist Rito to bring him to school for a heartfelt confession. With generations of loyalty between families and a shared history of standing up to bullies, the moment feels charged with meaning—until Lala’s infamous bento, spiked with Deviluke spices, sends Rito fleeing in panic, knocking Saki down and exposing her to Zastin in the most humiliating way possible. The confession is ruined, but the chaos has only just begun.
In "Trouble 82: Transform!", Rito’s accidental transformation into a smooth-talking romantic leads to a series of awkward encounters—first with Run, whose sneeze triggers a surprising shift, then with Yui, who’s unimpressed, and finally with Yami in the library, where a moment of genuine connection is cut short when the charm fades and Haruna arrives. The story unfolds with playful chaos as Rito navigates love, identity, and the consequences of a strange science experiment gone wrong.
In the chaotic spirit of Sainan High’s sports festival, Saki’s determination to outdo Lala takes a wild turn when her booby-trapped course backfires in the piggyback race—Rito’s stumble, Lala’s tail blast, and a surprise shirt-tear leave the crowd stunned. With Zastin watching and the Tenjouin-sponsored event heating up, the rivalry between Saki and Lala is far from settled.
In the midst of the chaotic Sports Festival, a routine race takes a wild turn when Haruna nearly gets knocked over—only for Rito to rush in and save her, taking the fall himself. With Rito sidelined, Mikan, Lala, and the Principal enlist Yami to step in, sparking unexpected teamwork between Lala and her new partner. As the race heats up, Saki’s fury erupts into chaos with bombs flying, while Haruna tends to Rito in the clinic, their bond quietly deepening. The festival teeters on the edge of total mayhem—just as the final moments unfold.
When Lala’s prank backfires, a mischievous space skunk unleashes a scent that turns everyone it sprays into children—leaving Principal and the usually stern Honekawa suddenly youthful and flustered. As chaos erupts across the school, Rito and Haruna try to keep their heads while the transformed students scramble to regain control. The fate of the school—and the skunk’s next move—hangs in the balance.
In a lighthearted moment from To Love Ru #9–10, Yui’s scolding of her older brother Yuu for going shirtless quickly turns into a minor adventure when she confronts three hoodlums on her walk. Rito rushes to her aid, scaling a chain link fence with clumsy determination, earning a rare smile from Yui. Meanwhile, Yuu—having witnessed the scene—steps in to handle the hoods, turning the tide with surprising flair.
When Lala, Mikan, Rito, and Haruna stumble upon Yami at a public bath, things take a bizarre turn—especially when two hidden bounty hunters, Tiger and Panther, attempt to exploit Rito’s strange immunity to Golden Darkness by manipulating him with an antenna. As tensions rise in the steamy setting, the real challenge isn’t just surviving the bath, but unraveling who’s really pulling the strings.
In "Trouble 88: Bath War II," the chaos escalates when Tiger and Panther, hiding in trash bins, are exposed by Mikan, setting off a comedic clash of wits and bath towels. With Lala’s quick-thinking device turning the controlled Rito against them, the battle takes a surprising turn — and Yami, for the first time, calls Mikan by name, hinting at a shift in their unlikely alliance.
When Evil General Mojack threatens to force everyone into afros, Magical Kyouko takes her usual approach—setting things on fire. But this time, Mojack’s prepared with a fire extinguisher, turning her signature tactic into a comedic disaster. The episode ends with Lala and Rito laughing as they watch the absurd showdown unfold on screen.
