20 dollars says we get naked girls in glass jars fetish satisfied.

[Mizuno]

[Freeter]

Spoiler for 79 summary and pics:

Continuing from last time, some alien slime is approaching Yui and Haruna. Mikado, Rito and Lala watch in horror as the slime wraps itself around the two girls and begins to suffocate them. Rito yells at Gaze to stop this, and Mikado surrenders and agrees to meet with Gaze. Gaze instructs her to come alone.

Mikado arrives at SOLGEM and thinks about how they want to use her medical practices to fuse the soldiers' abilities with alien matter to become stronger (there's also some mention of reproduction, not too sure). As she talks with Gaze, Eve slowly approaches. Suddenly, Lala bursts onto the scene and apologizes for the wait, then begins fighting Gaze's subordinates.

Meanwhile, the alien slime has totally covered Yui and Haruna, as two of the alien soldiers look on. Out of nowhere, Rito tries to attack one of the soldiers by furiously swinging a broom around, but misses Eve then shows up and takes out the two soldiers.

Back to Mikado and Lala, Gaze tries to shoot at Lala but Lala slams right into him with the rocket that she made in the previous chapter. Gaze attempts to retreat but bumps into Mikado, who decides to administer her own payback with the help of some medical aids

Afterwards, Mikado apologizes to everyone for getting them involved in such a mess. Haruna and Yui forgive her, and Eve and Lala comment on how they're happy to have her around. Mikado thanks everyone.

Spoiler for discussion:

Over so soon...and no additional Mikado service to boot? Bah...and once again, Rito is made to look like a wimp. The guy did say he was going to protect Haruna, and he certainly has the abilities to do so (fast runner, soccer player, huge threshold for pain ), so why Hasemi doesn't give him a chance to shine is beyond me.

As for the slime...whoa. Let's see the doujn artists try to top that

Spoiler:

Mmmmeh, the speech at the end was kinda corny....

Spoiler for 80 summary and pics:

Title is "Romance Master". Lala is chasing Rito again, but this time Rito manages to flee inside the school. Frustrated, Lala wonders how to approach Rito. Lisa and Mio arrive and decide to help Lala out by lending her a "How To" book on winning a guy's heart

Lala reads the book on the rooftop and practices several different expressions (including a tsundere, strange smile, and blushing ).

Meanwhile, Magical Girl Kyoko makes another cameo appearance on a TV in a nearby store

Lala finds Rito and decides to try out her new expressions on him, which freaks him out Peke quickly explains that she's simply following what the book told her. Rito explains that he likes Lala as herself, which makes Lala's eyes light up Peke gets nervous and sweats

Spoiler for discussion:

Lala chapter with a dash of tsundere goodness? WIN. Although, if I were Lisa/Mio, I'd have lent Lala a different kind of book, if you know what I mean

Lala actually looks like Nia from Gurren Lagann in that one pic

[Shinji103]

Well there you are. First Jaalin from Random Curiosity is nowhere to be found, then the guy on Seiha Blog seemed to be nowhere to be found, then you didn't post your weekly ToLoveRu summary, all in a 3-4 day span. I was about to blast the "FIND THE SUMMARIZERS!!!" whistle, lol.

Spoiler:

Well, I actually thought that that would turn out a whole lot worse when I saw the girls giving her the "how to" book (which almost never works out), but it actually ended with some (somewhat one-sided) points for Lala, lol.

You should blow it anyway, since the spoiler guy at 2ch also went MIA for awhile

I'm really wondering what happened to jaalin though, since I enjoy reading his pic captions for Kimikiss. It wouldn't be the same if Omni or someone else blogged it normally. He should also add pic captions for Myself;Yourself while Omni does the initial post, that series is just ripe for the picking

Hey I'm one of those and I've only been semi-missing due to work. If I go then it's time to blow the whistle.

Great chapter!

Spoiler:

Loved the ending, when Peke showed Rito the book, and Rito understood what was going on and gives a few kind words to Lala, making her really happy.

[Freeter]

Spoiler for 81 summary and pics:

Title is "Love Queen". Saki and her cohorts are featured SD-style on the cover.

Lala is chasing Rito again, trying to make him eat her homemade lunch. Meanwhile, Saki was daydreaming about Zastein. Rin and Aya notice this and decide to hatch something. Rito is hiding from Lala when he gets captured by Aya and Rin.

The two reveal their full names as Aya Huzisaki and Rin Kujou, and after tying Rito up, they reveal Saki's interest in Zastein to him and instruct Rito to help get them together so Saki can confess. If he refuses, Rin tells him that they'll spread rumors that Rito took advantage of them , so Rito reluctantly accepts.

Rito calls Zastein via cellphone and tells him that the 'princess' needs to meet him at the school immediately. Zastein thinks he means Lala and agrees to go there. Aya is overjoyed that Zastein is coming and runs off to tell Saki. Rin smiles and tells Rito about how Aya was bullied when she was a kid, and that Saki witnessed this and stood up for her, so Aya is finally happy to return the favor.

Zastein arrives at the school and Saki is waiting for him. She's about to confess when Lala shows up and tries to feed Rito her 'lunch'. Rito flees and collides with Saki, leaving them in a compromising position right in front of Zastein Zastein leaves the two while Saki beats the stuffing out of Rito

Spoiler for discussion:

So Rin and Aya actually have last names, and Saki isn't a total ice queen...maybe 'cameo' girl will also get a name before this series ends

The way Rin smiled at Rito and candidly disclosed why she and Aya are loyal to Saki...can this possibly lead to her joining the 'harem'? Wishful thinking here, but if Motoko-clone falls for Rito, he'll have amassed quite possibly the best harem ever.

Make it happen Yabuki

[LCeh]

Spoiler:

LOL that smile to Rito certainly made me think that she was going to join the harem, but looks like Rito at the end ruined it.

And poor Lala, trying so hard but still to no avail.

[Freeter]

Looks like Rito's got more trouble under his Christmas tree

Spoiler for 82 summary and pics:

It's morning at the school, and Rito is at the nurse's office still suffering from Lala's weird "lunch" Mikado teases him about Lala being such a "tough opponent", then gives him some medicine mixed with herbs from the planet Okiwana.

Run finds Rito in the hallway and greets him, but is surprised to find out that he's become a bishounen (handsome guy to all the ladies) . Run becomes embarrassed and sneezes, becoming Ren. Ren is also startled by Rito's new appearance and flees.

Bishie Rito then encounters Yui. He takes her by the hand and passionately says, "you have a smile like an angel, please show it to me". Yui becomes embarrassed and wonders what kind of crazy things is Rito saying, then walks away flustered while spouting her trademark 'harenchi' (disgraceful) phrase

Lala then met up with bishie Rito, who also tries to seduce her. But his efforts fail as Lala just stands there confused

Bishie Rito decides to head to the library, where he meets up with Eve. He immediately holds her close and says, "you who have come to this Earth all alone, let me ease your loneliness". Eve is shocked and starts to blush as Rito pulls her closer to him, but before they can kiss Rito sees Haruna over his shoulder and snaps out of it, quickly pushing Eve aside Needless to say, Eve is not pleased and sics her dragons on poor Rito.

The next day Rito is back in Mikado's office with more bandages than a mummy

Spoiler for discussion:

Rito putting the moves on Yui and Eve (despite being under one of Mikado's love potions)? I easily approve

And yes, those corny lines that he spoke to them were similar to what the translator spit out, with some slight exaggerations by yours truly. The bishie look must have made them effective, since normally he'd get decked for saying such nonsense

Next week's blurb mentions something about a new char named Minami Aya...either that or it'll focus on Aya from Saki's group.

[Shinji103]

Spoiler for Chapter 81:

OH.

MY.

GOD.

Rito hitting on Yui and "Eve"? INSTANT WIN!!! I've been frakking WAITING for a chapter like this!!!

But where's the scan of Rito and "Eve" almost kissing?!

[Shinji103]

Meh, sorry for double-post, but did anybody get the ToLoveRu 2008 calendar? Post scans if you did, plz.

This site has pics of it. Would've been better if Yabuki had done some original art for it, but it looks nice nonetheless.

Also, here's the first official image of the upcoming anime:

Mmmm, bleeeh. I thought it was going to have original art, too. >.> Bah.

I have but one thing to say:


HELL!

FRAKKING!!

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!

[LCeh]

LOL The fanservice in this chapter was over the roof! Gotta love bishie Rito.

Bu But it has nipples added on! Well worth getting.

[Mizuno]

The actual tankobons have the nipples drawn, unlike the magazine. *drools*

[Freeter]

Sports Festa time, wonder if we'll get more mini-Rito hanging on girls' nipples

Spoiler for 83 summary and pics:

The sports festival has begun for the new year. The sponsor is suspiciously one of Saki's groups. Mikan and Zastein are cheering from the stands. Rin approaches Zastein and tells him that she's from Group D, which has led the festival for three years running thanks to their leader Saki. She invites Zastein to eat lunch with Saki, and Saki gets embarrassed. Zastein says he doesn't mind.

As Rito and co. prepare to race, it is announced that the winning team will be treated to a special meal aboard a luxury cruise liner. Everyone gets into pairs. Yui shrugs and comments, "this sports festival is so impure...no need for brains at all".

The first event is a piggyback competition. Lala piggybacks on Rito, causing all the guys in the stands to get upset Saki piggybacks on Aya, and once the race begins the pairs encounter various obstacles on the course. Saruyama and the principal provide commentary

Aya shows signs of fatigue, which concerns Saki. Despite this, she tells Saki that she won't give up. Meanwhile, Rin is hiding in a tree with a sniper rifle (and leather skinsuit ). She shoots at a certain spot on the track where some explosive powder was hidden. The powder explodes in front of Rito, causing him to stagger and somehow tear off most of Saki's shirt Zastein sees her and gets slightly embarrassed, while Saki goes into shock

Yui, who is next to Haruna, comments, "if this continues, can we really call this a sports festival..."

Spoiler for discussion:

OMG. Rin + leather = Yui in gym wear is also worthy

They're really pushing more of Saki and her crew on us lately, so I'm wondering if this will actually lead to something (aside from Rin fanservice, which I FULLY WELCOME WITH OPEN ARMS ). Personally, I'd rather have more RitoxLala or RitoxYui development, but we'll see where this goes.
