Popular, or apparently not so popular, ero-tentacle manga To Love-Ru only recently concluded its negatively received anime adaptation, but now it looks as though the manga too will be concluding shortly, or rather, cancelled.
The strong suspicion that it will not live out the year, or at least the spring, emerges by way of its poor positioning in Weekly Shonen Jump’s popularity surveys, which also happen to be the major determinant of whether a title is cancelled.
Those titles finding themselves poorly positioned invariably tend to have suddenly accelerated storylines and unexpected endings, and To Love-Ru is in just such a position.
An additional reason to consider it in trouble is that it has been moved to the back of the tome, the meaning of which should be obvious.
It may yet pull through and live on as a third rank manga for a while longer, and fans are fervently denying the possibility of cancellation, but the very fact that such doubts are being raised is probably not a good sign.
The source is the various devoted Jump watchers on 2ch; you can read about their reasoning here.
Why just why I wants more Haruna And Rito man im might tear ;-;
DON’T EVER TOUCH “TO LOVE-RU” OR I’LL BEAT YOU ALL!!!!!!!!!!
BELIEVE ME!!!!!! I ACQUIRED GODAN SOME TIME AGO, SO BEWARE!
IT WON’T EVER BE CANCELED!!!!!!!!!!
*Note: This message was addressed to all that bastards who want it to be canceled.
i hope theres more episodes of to love-ru coz its a good anime 😀
Toraburu is in “toraburu”! lol bad pun. still its rly fucked up. cancellation has already ruined many cool mangas for me. way too many.
Can’t believe this became mostly a To Love Ru hate comments bunch.
I didn’t watch the anime, didn’t care for it, but for me the manga was quite good and amusing, in its ecchi-love-comedy genre we are talking about.
I don’t think that mix is so-old like to face unpopularity and so cancellation. Besides, it seemed quite popular before this post, observing how every week you could find it scanlated in many languages (was surprised I found it in mine) and the site, art and doujin coverage and spinoffs, including this site too of course.
So I hope this is just some stray moment case, and that it may continue like it has been until now, being one funny and eye delight manga I really enjoy.
