The anime ending was better than this...

Lvhina said:


WOW, when I think about it ..... that really is true.

First time I liked the anime ending more when also reading the manga.

Chimasternmay said:

That's like beating some hard ass game and all you get is a "game over" screen at the end.

its over....

<--crys-->

i want more! how can it end like this? what will every1 do? how can he just tell them he doesnt love them but meant to say it to haruna

3 of them love him anyways so any attempts to say it was a mistake would crush them and he would feel totally bad knowing his personality he would never hurt any1 like that espicaily because he knows them all

sure he might to lala's sister but to Ren and Yui it would crush em

well he would do it to ren cus hes a she he she w.e

and to yui im not sure he noticed yet... so if he did it it would be out of stupidity and end up having her hate him for a while

it just might be truely impossible for him to tell haruna he loves her

theres no closure at all in this episode

Here are the details. It's quite a well-known story, actually.

- There is this person called Nakamura Ine who is quite famous on the Nico Nico website (a large Japanese online community somewhat like Youtube), who turned out to be a minor (last year in high school) and also insinuated that he has something going on with a Kashiwagi Shiho.

- Now this Shiho was the wife of Yabuki Kentaro, the author of To-Love-Ru. She met Yabuki when he was looking for assistants, seduced him and ended up becoming his wife and gave birth to a daughter.

- But she hardly did any house work, neglected her daughter, and spent most of her days in front of a computer spending time in Nico Nico etc.

- January 2009, when Yabuki was sick with flu and bedridden, she kidnapped her own daughter and disappeared, and it turned out that she left her daughter at her parents' place while she was doing this and that with Ine.

- February 2009, Yabuki 'begged' Shiho to return for the sake of their daughter, and Shiho did return to Tokyo, but few days later she dropped out once again with the girl, this time taking a notebook computer and Yabuki's credit cards. Yabuki later stopped the cards, but a large sum of money was already taken out.

- Yabuki looked for them everywhere, but to no avail. March 2009, Shiho demanded a divorce on the grounds of personality clash and a large chunk of Yabuki's assets, but when the evidence of her infidelity was discovered on her computer, she then changed her stance and demanded money in exchange for the custody right of the daughter.

- Realizing it would take over a year to settle things, Yabuki accepted her conditions and got the daughter back.

- Haruna Sairenji was based on Kashiwagi Shiho, and there is a reason why her role was reduced dramatically since volume 13, and Yui getting more prominent. And apparently Shiho has sued/demanded more money for the character of Haruna recently.

- A comment of Yabuki's while this was all happening:
[While I was working hard on a manga that was focused on taking young girls' panties off, another man was taking my wife's panties off.]


EDIT: I forgot to mention that following the dispute over Haruna's character right, Yabuki feared his daughter getting hurt by all the debacle, so he accepted Shiho's demand yet again and ended the series prematurely.


Yes, life can be so sordid sometimes.

Endings like this happens all too often. Never the less, I love this series despite what has happened. Overall, gets an 8 from me.

Never really care much about the story. Ending was predictable for a harem style comedy series. I'm looking forward to Yabuki Kentaro's next work. Want him to go back doing his own work instead of just being an illustrator.

I think the manga artist was seriously burnt out from doing TLR, and just said FAWK IT since the ending seems super rushed into the last 2 pages.

no, that's because of the divorce. I've read it somewhere in 2chan.net

Spade said:
Since it wasn't posted here yet and the hate seems to continue, let's hear the real reason why it ended so suddenly.



Yabuki is not the author though, just the illustrator but that doesn't change things (besides, nobody would want to read TLR if it were to be continued with a different artist, right?)

I wonder how many people share that same opinion.

I for one am skeptical to read anymore of his work, only because I've been reading this weekly for the past 3 years and got this type of ending.

It was either "disappoint everyone" with a shoddy ending or "disappoint some people" by having Rito choose someone.

Sadly, the choice was to disappoint everyone. Even under any which circumstance both the mangaka and illustrator were under they should of been aware of the outcome of choosing to do this type of ending.
