LOL WHAT? Ok, I don’t know when this was announced, but I am utterly shocked, lost for words, giddy, scared and excited at the same time. Please disregard the disharmony of the preceding adjectives, as they are all very true. If you don’t know what To-Love-ru (or Trouble) is, go and read the manga NOW. I’m not gonna say it’s great, but it certainly has its cuteness factor.

Anyway, everything starts with a guy called Rito, who has never had any romantic experiences, until he falls in love with a classmate called Haruna. He decides to profess his love to her, but ends up succumbing to his nervousness. That night, while drowning in his sorrows (in the bathtub), an explosion occurs (yes, in the tub), and out comes (yes, you guessed it), a very cute chick. Called Lala. Mhmm. Apparently, this girl, Lala, is the princess of the interstellar planet, Deviluke (she’s a devil I guess, with a tail to show as well). Rito soon learns that Lala is actually on the run from her body guards who wish to take her back to her home planet. She then claims she’s going to marry Rito (or something like that, I can’t remember), and so is allowed to stay on earth. But then she actually seriously falls for him. Some time later, Rito decides to confess to Haruna, and successfully utters that forbidden S word, but it turns out he had actually been facing Lala when he said it. And now he’s in a dai piinchi…I guess.

Oh yeah, I made a post about the manga some time ago (I think it was the only manga post I had ever made…apart from Hayate no Gotoku). I mention that it’s my favourite manga, but that changed after reading others. But it’s still highly entertaining. =)
