Top alien-girl-falls-in-love-with-boy, alien-girl-gets-raeped-by-tentacles shonen series To Love-Ru will soon be ending its serialization in Shonen Jump, according to credible rumours on 2ch.
The spectre of cancellation had long hung over the series, and recently the story had been pointing towards signs of coming to a conclusion, making the news seem all too likely to be legitimate.
The initial source of the cancellation talk came from a post on a 2ch thread, “Jump Ending Survival Race”, by a poster nicknamed Bare-shi (Master Reveal), known for supplying 2ch with accurate, apparently insider knowledge on the cancellations of Jump series.
On Aug. 24th, he announced the current status of To Love-Ru as:
とらoutらしい (Seems like it’s ‘To Out’)
Fans naturally would enjoy some more concrete information on the matter, but given the problems the series has had with the Jump Reader’s Popularity polls, the oft-repeated talk of the show’s impending cancellation and that the story seems to be heading toward a conclusion, it is not too much of a stretch to assume that the modern-day Urusei Yatsura will indeed be ending soon.
Below are the reader satisfaction figures – needless to say, To Love-Ru is at the very bottom and Naruto is at the top:
Some images from the latest Chapter 161 show the usual gratuitous bikini action which has sustained the series thus far:

I careless if they cancel or not, it was trully a shitty show.
Hell it was about time. The manga only had fan service so far.
And I want to add that it's an offense to compare this manga with the legendary Urusei Yatsura.
TO LOve ru is a great anime for ero fans like me and the fact that SHit anime Naruto is at the top is like Shit
I think they must have the results backwards or they surveyed 10-15 year olds
You need to remember that one quarter to one third of Jump´s readership consist of adult fujyoshi who give ToLoveru thumbs down. It would have been significantly more long long lived in another magazine.
Would not be suprised if Shueisha revives it at some point in another publication.
The only reason that it is at the bottom, is due to the fact that most people cannot vote for it. Watch gintama, they stated it right....
"and Naruto is at the top"
Shit taste confirmed.
Yep Shit
while i liked the character quite a bit, i have to admit it had absolutely no story behind it, and it was too obvious a rip off from Urusei Yatsura
Eh, it's about story. Anyways, I'm surprised Naruto still has such a large following on Jump.
I will miss To Love-Ru it was an good series for me I enjoyed every charpter and waited each week MANNNN... I'm really sad now ...
I just wish Yabuki will continue doing an new series… Of course, with Mikan and Yami as spin-off main characters (the same way how he revived Eve and Kyoko from Black Cat in To Love-ru). ▬ω▬
fuc7k naruto
na-na-naruto?
why would they compare a shonen from a comedy
Because the existence of Narutard-ism is comedic..?
welp... all things have to end...
and IIRC, Kentaro Yabuki wanted to continue the other half of Black Cat.. so maybe we'll be getting more of Black Cat soon..
If it's really going to happen, I just wish Yabuki will continue doing Black Cat or a new series... Of course, with Mikan and Yami as spin-off main characters (the same way how he revived Eve and Kyoko from BC in TLR).
Admit it, You just want more Mikan and Yami in your life.
Translation of the chart?
This. Just to see what else is about to be dropped.
There will be other ecchi series to replace it and more wives to marry.
Should've happened a long time ago. Uninspired fanservice shit you can find anywhere. And to think Double Arts, a series which actually had something going for it, was canceled in favor of this made me rage to no end.
darn, no more Yami to oogle at. maybe she'll be reincarnated yet again in another series.
As long as they end it properly, I am ok with it.
^This
+2
+1
Ending: Rito marries his whole harem including his imouto.
oh well, looks like a series can't live off of pure fanservice alone.
What will ishikei draw now
Ah well, it was inevitable. As much as i like to-love-ru i always thought this might happen
Yeah, I wish it would last longer though. Maybe we can get a full second season of the anime though.
the anime was shit. they had so much to take from in the manga, but decided to use only the filler chapters :P
anyway, as long as the manga gets a real ending before it stops, I'll be alright.
Shit show is shit
no, that is one of the most ultimate ecchi series out there >.<
Do you know that part of the the book store the mommy never allowed you to browse? Well, guess what, now you're not gonna miss To Love-Ru anymore! ^^
Troll is a troll.
Obvious things are Obvious
cock sucking bitch is a cock sucking bitch
Although it gets low "satisfaction figures", i'm quite "satisfied" ;]
Tasteless anon is tasteless.
Though yes, OVA #2 wasn't that bad.
Don't mix anime with manga, you lowlife...
To Love-Ru is a quality near-ero manga, its author just milked the same low category hentai scene few hundred times over the limit.
^Overt is right, the manga itself is moar quarity XD
anonymous opinion is shit
Indeed.
i conquer
It's spelled "concur" in this case.
Good job!
i fap
too much fan service.
lol you mean its to much for your age ???
the problem wasn't the service but everything else.
I agree. But I was quite surprised when I found out it To Love-Ru was done by the same author as Black Cat... Such a waste of talent... Doing a harem type manga with no plot, when he could have tried to pull off something better than Black Cat.
Well. Supposedly he said he would continue the story of Black Cat...
Well, it has the same *artist* as Black Cat, but the story for To Love-Ru was written by someone else (unlike with Black Cat where he did both story and art). So perhaps the artist's next project will be another solo work; we'll see...
you can never have enough service.
I think you can have 'too much' fanservice if it doesn't vary enough to stay interesting.
Najica Blitz Tactics was overloaded with maid panty shots, and one of the Aika series had too many in-your-face panty shots.
That said, NBT had both interesting characters, interesting character interactions, and interesting plot. So I kept watching it (and own the DVDs).
The Aika series with the too many in-your-face panty shots... well, it had an interesting (though improbable) plot.
Not all stories make good vehicles for high levels of fanservice.
To-Love-Ru (the anime) was okay in that regard.
Eiken would like a word with you.
I never thought I'd read that comment on Sankaku.
