You don't technically 'read' animes.

- 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.]

- 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.

First of all, TLR volumes regularly sale over 200,000 copies in their first week on book shelves; that tops most of the series in SJ besides OP, Naruto, Bleach, and Reborn. The latest volume also sold over 200k; popularity is not why it ended abruptly. The reason why it appeared to rank low in the weekly ratings is because the japanese kids who were voting on the series were too embarrassed to rank TLR because of how ecchi it is.

I don't know where you got this "the rumor is that it was canceled due to declining popularity". Way to pull shit out of your ass. The real rumor was that it was, as SJ announced, the illustrator's choice to stop illustrating the manga because he could not draw for a weekly manga and take care of his 3 year old daughter at the same time, now that he has full custody over her.

Seriously, talk about lack of information... >.>

Still, memorable characters and ecchi in every chapter. I wonder which manga is going to replace this one...

BUHAHAHAHAHA!!!
