Yes, there is a lot of selfishness in Momo's reason for trying to pull off the Harem Plan but there are also some altruistic reasons as well

That's what Selphie was talking about. Momo always puts others before her own happiness.

Actually i think her question is the opposite. Its more will u really be happy sharing Rito with other girls through the harem plan.

The harem plans biggest flaw besides Rito is that you have to convince every girl to ignore the desire to want him for themselves. Its like will u really be satisfied with having only a slice instead of the whole pizza.

Characters like Kotegawa and Run for example may not be willing to share Rito for different reasons. Lala doesnt mind but i get the distinct feeling Lala doesnt quite understand love and what it entails.

Girls who doesnt want share doesnt have choice. If they want Rito Harem plan only hope if they disagree they must give up on him. That all.

I agree but thats the problem. If the wrong people disagree the harem wont be built. Without haruna the harem plan has nothing because Rito will only agree to it if Haruna can get on board

And Haruna currently does not want to share.

Well, I just hope it would not be like the 'solution to the harem problem' of maburaho. The mc duplicate to multiple copy.

[Pablete]

I don't know how that is wrong

At least the girls got him without having to share him or see their time with him reduced.

which one Lala or Haruna because you will not get Haruna and lala but u got a better chance at just Haruna thenjust Lala

[Pablete]

If the harem doesn't happens I can see Lala taking a step to a side leaving Haruna the free path for Rito.

[2sugoi2die]

If this ends with rito choosing haruna, tons of fans will be upset, the same can be said if rito chooses lala only. The harem route is the best route in this case i guess, just gotta see how the author writes the story how how he get the girls to accept sharing, maybe it can be something like dxd where theres the main girl(rias) and the rest(koneko,asia,akeno).

Or we could just go the "Life goes on but nothing is resolved" ending and everyone can scream equally.

The amount of rage and sadness would be glorious.

How 'bout the kill 'em all ending for maximum shock value.
Especially if it comes from out of nowhere with no foreshadowing whatsoever, like a meteorite, or an embolism from all the beatings at Yami's hands hair in the past.

ToLoveRu has pretty much always been set up as a harem ending, just go check the test of courage chapter near the start of the first series (ch16 I think ). My belief is the main reason Haruna has been in a holding pattern is any movement in her and Rito's relationship at this point breaks the story. If they confess before Rito 7s completely committed to the Harem Plan everything implodes to either a Haruna ending, or a RitoxHarunaxLala×Run ending. So those 2 can't confess until Rito responds to everyone else's feelings first.. solving Haruna's reluctance to the plan is also difficult as it again removes an other major love trouble so I don't see it going away any time soon. Lala is also stuck in this same hholding pattern but to a lesser extent since she is the manic pixie that ends up causeing problems but that has lessened as there is now an actual antagonist.

I dont disagree with that Haruna has always been the key and as i've said quite a few times Haruna confessing would end the series. Lala's feelings are known so thats a stagnant i suppose they're moving towards a harem ending i just think that rite now ur gonna need a lot to get that harem ending. (I do love the manic pixie reference) although now i think that role has become Momo's

[The Green One]

It occurs to me I should really start proof reading my posts, or stop posting in the middle of the night. Probably both. Anyway, yeah TLR always had the haremy feel to me as well, but we all know how the readers/watchers love their shipping and milking this is one of the best ways to make money off this.

While I wouldn't say it would be easy it's also not that difficult either. First Rito needs to fully come to terms with the plan and as of now he is fairly close to doing so. Second each of the girls that will end up in the harem need to confess their feelings and come to terms with being part of a Harem with Haruna being last. the 2 could be done in either order and more likely the more girls that flat out confess to Rito the more accepting of the plan he will be as he doesn't want to hurt them and it will likely be the earthlings that have the greatest resistance to the plan. the real question is just who will be in it and how long they want the series to run I could see them being able to end it in 5 or 6 chapters if they wanted too but off hand I would say the Manaka love doing the series and it is and always had been a very nice cash cow for SJ so I highly doubt they will.
