THIS IS A MANGA ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS ANYTHING BEYOND THIS CHAPTER. ---------------------------------------- So that's it. It's over. Lame ending btw. Would've been cool to have Rito pick Lala, and then have a timeskip, and then feature Rito as the King of Deviluke, lol. Anyway, I didn't mind this series ending. It lost me a while back. Some drama would've been nice... but that's not to be. Nonetheless, I found it enjoyable as it is. I'm signing it off with a 6.5 out of 10. |

6/10 for me... The lame ending killed me... Because for a ecchi manga, the artworks is good, etc... But the story... ERK... ![]() |

I'm glad this manga was killed, better to make way for other mangas to flourish in Jump. It had nice drawings and a well-established premise that allowed for all sorts of wackiness. It's the standard bearer for ecchi, fanservice, and a little comedy, without any pretense for plot whatsoever. That is ok, that is what I expected. What disappointed me was the laziness in the use of the art and the writing. Each chapter was made out of a cookie cutter structure; characters are complete stereotypes of the harem genre; ecchiness is so blatant and predictable it's almost insulting; the comedy was flat; the writing was useless (so much so that you can skip the scanlations and just read the raws). Really the only saving grace is the art. But at 162 chapters, having a nice, consistent artstyle is not enough. Not nearly enough. Going by this site's criteria, this manga is a solid 4/10 - that means bad. Modified by fisher_88, 08-27-09, 12:03 PM |

I never particulary liked this series, in the start it was great, but that didn't last long, it's been about maybe 120 chapters ago, I just decided to continue reading it for the sake of completing it one day and I must say, the manga was enjoyable at times I was bored and had nothing else to read. But I can't understand why the authors decided to quit with it now, there are just too freaking much plotholes left unfulfilled... Anway, the ending was fucking crap, a harem-ending, which was what I expected anyway, but we now do know who Rito loves more in the way of having a relationship. Stupid bastard, I wouldn't have doubted polygamy for a second.. :P 4/10 - I can't consider this an average series, it's not even fine, although the art is. But still, plotholes left unfulfilled, no basic plot in the long-run, to much chapters spent on 1 or 2 ecchi moments.. It's a shame.. |

and it ends. I'm gonna move on fast... don't want to stay on the ending thoughts for long. I thought this would happen since it ended with short notice: where the main girl doesn't mind polygamy. well what can we expect from quick end finish. I'm sure they creators would have wanted a proper finish but maybe they were pissed to lol, and said take this. anyway up till last chapter, the rating was 8 for me, but last chapter since i epected this already ill say 6.6 ![]() |

Horrible ending. Absolutely terrible. He should have picked Haruna and that should have been that, there was no reason to do this. Complete and utter disaster. |

Ending was rather "meh", could of been so much better. Not an amazing series, good start...later on it got way too repetitive. |

Just so that no one accuses me of poor judgement later, I dropped this series at chapter 25 or something and just randomly read 10 chapters (including this one). Nothing much really. It said how low the genre has devolved... |

Terrible typical harem ending ..Rito is still a wimp Besides, they could have done so much better in 162 chapters, say maybe, with a storyline |

+1 for shitty ending. And that's a wrap. It's too bad its ending like this, I'd probably recommend the first few volumes of this manga then the boot. I originally had this manga at an 8 score, but I've been waiting to lower it due to repetitive story lines as of late. This ending just gives me more of a reason too. :( 6/10 |

First I had a good score but the more we get to the ending the lower the number drops. ![]() |

Horrible open ending out of nowhere... damn even the anime series had much much better ending then this one!! o_O Before reading this chapter I wanned to kept my score at 6 thanks to the outstanding art, but after reading it I dropped it to 5/10 <- this is a CRIME to butcher series this long with the ending like this. |

The ending felt like the author was high on something. I read to-love-ru coz the art is by the author of black cat, which imo is among the best manga ever, but the guy who created the story didn't create a story which fits the great art. I dunno what's with the high rating on the to-love-ru page and the popularity on onemanga, but this is a pretty bad manga imo. Ecchi mangas like Ichigo 100% are much better than this. |

So my prediction was right T_T Well that's very disappointing... Anyways, the ending was kinda wrong in many ways -__- But still, I enjoyed it to the fullest since it's was the last. A great manga indeed (except 4 d ending O__O) This is a signature. |

I think I''S is the best harem manga, to-love-ru was very great at first but way too much fan service leads to disasters... (>-.-)> d(>.<)b <(-.-<) |

The manga really started slipping with each chapter, but the ending was just awful. |

Mx0 was a solid manga up until it was unfortunately cancelled. ToLoveRu was a repetitive waste of 162 chapters that have been lagging 100 chapters ago. It's actually a miracle (or a testament to the audience of Jump) that this lasted for so long. |
