To Love-Ru Darkness has been delighting fans with the usual fetishistic staples of tentacles, nymphs, and the return of the mysterious colourist everyone so adores.

Colourful scenes:

Gratuitously sexy omake:

To Love-Ru’s devilishly lusty princess Momo Velia Deviluke will soon have a figure release courtesy of Alter, set to be released in June 2012.

Momo is available for pre-orders now.

To Love-Ru’s determination to remain the raunchiest manga in print continues apace, with Rito being taught a rather risqué lesson in just how far things must be taken in order to retain so hard a position…

Gratuitous omake:

Fans of the Golden Darkness have been making appreciative noises (grunting perhaps) at the arrival of her young version in the latest chapter of To Love-Ru Darkness, who in the best traditions of artistic nudity wears not a stitch, along with the usual array of gratuitous service.

Omake:

Top non ero-mangaka Yabuki Kentaro delivers something new with each successively more erotic chapter of To Love-Ru Darkness, with the latest chapter featuring plenty of wet pussy stroking action.

Ero-make:

Painstaking analysis of 2ch thread activity has revealed just who their favourite manga characters are, with none other than the sexiest non-ero-manga of all time dominating all comers, quite literally as it happens.

The ranking, based on character thread activity on select boards:

1. Momo Velia Deviluke (To Love-Ru)

2. Alluka Zoldyck (Hunter x Hunter)

3. Kotegawa Yui (To Love-Ru)

4. Sairenji Haruna (To Love-Ru)

5. Tsurara Oikawa (Nurarihyon no Mago)

6. Nami (One Piece)

7. Inoue Orihime (Bleach)

8. Kagura (Gintama)

9. Galatea (Claymore)

10. Kuchiki Rukia (Bleach)

All this has prompted an outpuring of Momo-love on 2ch:

The latest To Love-Ru Darkness chapter has managed to expand its already legendarily broad portfolio of fetishes to include young girls going to the toilet whilst accompanied by a male chaperone…

“If you peek I’ll kill you.”

To Love-Ru as ever continues to inspire a variety of fan artwork and recolouring:

Legendary ero-manga To Love-Ru Darkness continues, this time with a renewed focus on top-tier imouto Mikan, as well as another loli favorite, Momo Velia Deviluke.

The tankobon version (on the right) of the manga appears to be getting many subtle updates as well:

And just as he does every month, the anonymous To Love-Ru artist(s) have come out with more fine To Love-Ru Darkness colored editions:

In other news, a new edition of the original To Love-Ru manga is to be released this November, with some additional illustrations and the hoped-for possibility of the meticulous ero-upgrades the series is known for:

The unfortunate fact that every harem anime requires a gormless male protagonist to act as harem master (some might say harem victim) yields the inevitable ranking of just which viewers find the most enviably ensconced amongst his female suitors, however ineffective he may prove in actually exploiting this position.

The ranking:

1. Orimura Ichika (Infinite Stratos)

2. Sakurai Tomoki (Sora no Otoshimono)

3. Yuuki Rito (To Love-Ru)

4. Araragi Koyomi (Bakemonogatari)

5. Okazaki Tomoya (Clannad)

6. Katsuragi Keima (Kami Nomi Zo Shiru Sekai)

7. Maebara Keiichi (Higurashi no Naku Koro ni)

8. Sugisaki Ken (Seitokai no Ichizon)

9. Kousaka Kyosuke (Ore no Imouto)

10. Kamijou Touma (To Aru)

Despite its not infrequently criticised total lack of originality (itself not normally a quality associated with harem anime and manga), Infinite Stratos now appears to be the harem anime par excellence.

The reign of sexiness To Love-Ru Darkness is renowned for continues still – the 11th chapter comes packed with intimate licking of a most intense nature, whilst the inevitable sexy Photoshops continue to pile up.

Omake:

Fans of To Love-Ru Darkness and its coloured pages, or simply of the lovely Konjiki no Yami, will likely find themselves magnetically drawn to this Nendoroid version of her by Good Smile Company, due release in December 2011.

She can be pre-ordered now.

To Love-Ru Darkness‘ latest chapter in Jump Square continues to enhance the manga’s already unparalleled reputation for pushing the envelope, usually into someone’s intimate places – in this case, Kotegawa Yui‘s.

As if this were not enough, anonymous To Love-Ru colourer master has been back to his old tricks…

Omake:

To Love-Ru Darkness has either never heard of Ishihara or simply chooses to ignore him, as the latest chapter reveals scenes of Rito on Lala action which would not look out of place in the pages of the better sort of ero-manga…

Omake wallpaper:

To Love-Ru Darkness is continuing to receive the welcome attentions of the mysterious colorer of legend, as well as what appear to be an increasing number of copycat colorers.

Happily, the practice of randomly colouring saucy manga pages seems to be spreading:

Anime imouto do not only come in the form of loveable moeblobs – they are also available in the form of (presumably equally loveable) responsible and supportive younger sisters who can be relied upon, the most promising of which have been ranked by anime fans below.

The ranking:

1. Mikan (To Love-Ru)

2. Chiaki (Minami-ke)

3. Ui (K-ON!)

4. Miya (Amagami SS)

5. Sakura (Card Captor Sakura)

6. Hitoha (Mitsudo Moe)

7. Nazuna (Working!!)

8. Dorami (Doraemon)

9. Miina (Please Twins)

10. Mei (Clannad)

Kanokon somehow escapes inclusion…

The already hot chapters of To Love-Ru Darkness are now even hotter after getting the customary ero-upgrades in the second volume, the news of Ishihara’s ban either apparently not having reached the author, or simply not being worth taking any notice of.

Jump SQ vs Tankobon:

Considering the state of the original, making these improvements must be quite challenging.

Omake:

The latest example of “delivery terrorism” to strike down lonely otaku proves even the loveliest of objects can prove a curse when Shonen Jump decides to announce on the package that it is an oppai mouse pad…

“A-Course – Oppai Mouse Pad – Jump SQ.”

Ordering from such insensitive companies has the not undeserved reputation of playing Russian roulette with the recipient’s social life.

The sport of colouring panels from To Love-Ru is as popular as ever, and even sexier than ever – the latest efforts of this elite coterie of anonymous Photoshoppists can be inspected below.

Incest loli manga To Love-Ru Darkness adds yet another erotic theme to its portfolio, with male protagonist getting turned into a girl for some hot “yuri” sex.

All this on the cusp of Ishihara’s ban deadline…

Seemingly uncowed by the prospect of Ishihara’s ban-spree forcing it out of print, To Love-Ru Darkness continues to veer into ero-manga territory, with the latest chapters being packed full of loli Mikan incest action – exactly the sort of thing to annoy Tokyo politicans with nothing better to do than hound mangaka whilst Tokyo is threatened by blackouts and irradiation.

The news that some intolerant backwater by the name of Tokyo has passed some kind of ban on sexy manga seems to have passed To Love-Ru by – the latest chapter of To Love-Ru Darkness packs in more erotic action than ever, with tentacles probing schoolgirls in ever greater detail.

Whether this will survive the summer remains to be seen…

A devotee of To Love-Ru has been showing off a newly inked To Love-Ru Darkness tattoo of none other than Yami.

As one observer puts it, “this is an oath of lifelong virginity,” although a more charitable observer styles it as “rather than being an oath of virginity, this is an oath to always be together with Yami.”

Whether this is a more effective vow of celibacy than Fate is an interesting question…
