To LOVE-Ru Darkness (To LOVEる -とらぶる- ダークネス To Raburu -Toraburu- Dākunesu?) is the sequel to the To LOVE-Ru and Motto To LOVE-Ru anime, based on the manga series of the same name, To LOVE-ru Darkness.

The first season of To Love Ru: Darkness anime series is composed of 12 episodes and 6 OVAs. Each OVA is a filler side-episode consists of two or three story segments, while adapting random manga chapter. The first OVA served as the pilot episode before the TV series aired and following on. The series was announced on March 31, 2012 and the first episode aired on October 5 of the same year on Tokyo MX. The anime is produced by Xebec and directed by Atsushi Ootsuki.

A second season, titled To LOVE-Ru Darkness 2nd, began airing in July 2015.

Overview[]

The anime adaptation of the sequel focuses on more maturity than the previous anime sequels. The series still retains its usual perverted comedy, except with a serious focus on its story plot and character development, especially around Yami. The series provides more censored fan service during TV airing, while following closely to the manga.

Plot[]

As close encounters of the twisted kind between the residents of the planet Develuke (represented primarily by the female members of the royal family) and the inhabitants of Earth (represented mainly by one very exhausted Rito Yuki) continue to escalate, the situation spirals even further out of control. When junior princesses Nana and Momo transferred into Earth School where big sister LaLa can (theoretically) keep an eye on them, things SHOULD be smooth sailing. But when Momo decides she'd like to "supplement" Rito's relationship with LaLa with a little "sisterly love," you know LaLa's not going to waste any time splitting harems. Unfortunately, it's just about that point that Yami, the Golden Darkness, enters the scene with all the subtleness of a supernova, along with an army of possessed high school students! All of which is certain to make Rito's life suck more than a black hole at the family picnic. Unless, of course, a certain semi-demonic princess can apply a little of her Develukean Whoop Ass to exactly that portion of certain other heavenly bodies!

(Continue~コンティニュー~)

October 5, 2012[1]

The story begins with Rito rudely awakened by each Deviluke alien. Rito explains his routine life and is most concerned with Momo due to her deceptive intentions. As Rito arrives at school, he meets Haruna. Lala tries to encourage Rito to confess to her, but Rito pushes Lala to a corner and explains to him that the situation is complicated, as people are legally allowed to marry only one person. Out of nowhere, Celine clings onto Rito. Momo and Nana surprise everyone with their sudden enrollment in school.

Now a student, Momo winks at Rito, reminding him of their conversation last night in the bathtub (in the first OVA). Momo overheard Rito's concern about marrying multiple girls and explained to Rito that many girls love him and marrying them all would make everyone happy. As the future king of Deviluke, he can have many concubines. Momo vows to create a harem for Rito. During class, Momo becomes popular among the boys, while Nana greets a mysterious girl looking out the window. Nana impresses her with her ability to understand animals. The girl introduces herself as Mea.

Later, Momo finds Yami at a bench. As Yami is an obstacle to her harem plan, Momo tries to secretly enlist Yami in her harem plan by convincing her to enroll. The conversation gets cut short when Rito runs over in a panic, stating that the other boys suddenly went violent. The other boys arrive on the scene and attack Yami, forcing her to use her weapons. After Yami and Momo restrain the boys, Yami hears a mysterious voice reminding her that she's an assassin assigned to kill Rito.

October 12, 2012

Mea speaks with the mysterious voice about her day. The voice reminds Mea about her job: killing Rito and reverting Yami back to an assassin. Meanwhile, Momo warns Rito of the dangers posed by Yami and convinces him that Yami may change back and kill him anytime. Next, Momo is surprised to see Mikan invite Yami over for cooking lessons. Nana also comments on making a new friend to Lala. During the dinner service, Rito freaks out over Yami's taiyaki soup and thinks she may have set a trap. He nearly vomits and asks to go shopping.

At bedtime, Rito finds Momo in his bed. Momo warned Rito earlier that she must protect Rito to allow the harem plan to progress. Yami may kill Rito in his sleep. As Rito tries to sleep, Momo caresses him every way, forcing Rito to shove her aside. As Rito later takes a drink, Yami asks Rito to talk. Yami explains about her cooking lessons and compares it to her attacks. Momo mistakes it for an assault and jumps down to defend Rito. However Yami only wanted to know if Rito enjoyed her taiyaki soup.

The next day, Yami also becomes enrolled. Mea finds Yami and explains that she is Yami's sister with similar abilities. During class, Yami does not get along with other students and prevents people from befriending her. Momo offers to help but gets rejected as well. Meanwhile, Mea asks Nana about Rito. Nana simply replies, "He's a beast." Her rambling comments about Rito only interest Mea, who then goes to find Rito herself. Momo then talks to Mikado-sensei, who loved Yami being enrolled. She tells Momo how Yami's lifestyle has been only fighting. While Yami is sitting on a bench wondering about her feelings, Yui approaches Yami and tells her that not understanding their own feelings is normal, and she too does not understand her own feelings. Then Nana asks Yami if she's seen Mea. While Rito is asleep on the roof Mea climbs on top of Rito and whispers that she'll be able to know what he's truly like once they are "joined together".

Rito wakes up in his dream and finds himself inside his bathroom with Mea. Mea tests Rito's beast-like moves and asks Rito if he experienced something similar. She reads Rito's mind about Momo and her harem plan. Back in reality, Yami cuts Mea off from reading Rito's mind and warns her to not bother Rito. Mea walks off and learns about the harem plan and how she and Momo are competing for Yami. Later, Nana introduces Mea to Lala and friends. Rito sees Mea and realizes her from the dream earlier. As Mea speaks obscenity to Rito, Momo considers adding Mea into her harem plan.

After school, Rito spots Yui and offers to walk home together with her since Mikan is cleaning up Saibai's studio and Momo and Nana are with Lala at an important event. Yui is at first skeptical but accepts. Momo secretly escapes from the event, a Magical Kyoko Costume Show, and observes Rito walking home with Yui. She finds this a perfect opportunity to advance her harem plan and devises a way to lure Rito and Yui into Rito's house. She first uses the principal to chase them toward Rito's home and simulates rain to get both of them inside.

Inside, Momo surrounds the home with a barrier and creates romantic scenery by simulating rain and a blackout. Rito accidentally falls onto Yui, giving Momo signs that her romantic scenery is working. She panics when she finds Mikan and the others trying to get inside during the romance. Then, Mea shoots a laser beam and destroys the barrier, breaking Momo's scenery and exposing Rito and Yui to everyone.

She hears moaning noises from Rito's room and blasts into it only to find him playing a game with Momo and Celine. Momo tries to reassure Mikan that she's only supporting Lala's love, but Mikan does not believe it. In the shower, Momo wonders who destroyed her barrier and relates it to the fact that someone is targeting Rito and Yami.

The following night, Rito finds Yami. Rito is happy that she talked to Mikan as Mikan usually feels depressed. Yami feels strange about happiness per Mea's words. Rito assures Yami that she should do what she wants.

Suddenly, Azenda appears and confronts Yami. Having observed Yami earlier, she uses Mikan as a marionette to defend herself and attack Yami. Being friends, Yami chooses not to attack, allowing Azenda to easily defeat Yami. Next, Mikan tackles Yami and does obscene gestures, setting them in perfect position for Azenda to kill them both.

Nana finds Mea depressed and looks for ways to cheer her up by asking Rito for advice. Rito suggests to do something fun with Mea, giving Nana an idea.

Nana, Haruna, and Rito become caught in the licking as well. Nana tries to reclaim her De-Dial after a monkey steals it, but the monkey leads her in front of a moving truck.

Nana apologizes over the incident, but Mea thanks Nana for the fun and Lala concludes that the operation was successful.

The next day, Mea hears the principal talking about his Run poster and asks who Run is. Haruna and Nana explain to Mea that Run is an alien who can switch genders. Lala jumps in and demonstrates that Rito could change genders too. Now Riko, she tells Lala to turn her back but the machine fails, forcing them to leave early. Mikan returns and is shocked to find Riko dressed up as a maid. She is more disgusted to find Mea licking Riko. Riko offers Mea tea, but Mea overloads it with sugar cubes and feeds some to Celine, making Celine spit it out at Riko. Now sticky, Riko tries to change out of the outfit but is uncomfortable with looking at her body. Momo sneaks in and thinks that Rito/Riko may be admiring the wonders of a female body.

Using the memory she got from Rito before, Mea forces Momo to let her in regarding the harem plan. Momo reluctantly accepts, hoping that Mea can get master to come out. Mea and Momo lick Riko until Riko changes back into Rito. Mikan enters the room and is shocked to find Mea and Momo along with a naked Rito. Mea exposes Momo's cover-up, making Mikan scold at all three of them and kick Mea and Momo out of Rito's room.

During the meet up, Momo and the others spy on Rito. Mea wants to see kissing while Nana wants to keep Rito from naughty acts. In the cafe, Run asks Rito his opinion about her manager forbidding relationships. Rito tells her not to stress herself, inspiring Run. He causes chaos with Saki, Aya, and Rin, prompting them to escape. Outside, Rito and Run talk about Memoruzians and their ability to change genders. Momo suspects that Rito may be making progress.

Run cries admitting that she loves Rito but could not compete with Lala due to her ability to become Ren, therefore making her not completely female. Her idol career also makes it difficult to meet with Rito. Next, Run feels ill; Rito brings her to nearby bench. Momo and the others catch up with Momo thinking that Rito may be making sexual encounters. Enraged, Nana jumps out to attack Rito only to find Yui stopping Rito too. Suddenly, to everyone's surprise, Run glows and splits from Ren, becoming two bodies.

Yami notes that their hearts are incomparable with a human's heart because she and Mea are both weapons. Rito invalidates Yami's claim and relates the sibling analogy to Mikan. The meeting is cut short when a dog clings onto Oshizu, making her rip Yami's clothes, causing Yami to chase after Rito.
