To Love Ru

Synopsis

Rito Yuuki, a timid sixteen-year-old, has long harbored a silent crush on his classmate Haruna Sairenji. His mundane existence is abruptly shattered when a mysterious, naked girl crash-lands into his bathtub. She reveals herself as Lala Satalin Deviluke, an alien princess fleeing an arranged marriage from her sprawling intergalactic empire. To evade this forced union, Lala implores the bewildered Rito to marry her. The story chronicles Rito's struggle to manage the chaos Lala unleashes, while his developing affection for Haruna is continually upended by an ever-growing cast of beautiful girls. The narrative unfolds as a frenetic romantic comedy packed with slapstick, risqué humor, and absurd, gravity-defying scenarios.
