ANN Readers: Your To Love-Ru Heroine Picks Are In

The June issue of Shueisha's Jump Square magazine is currently taking votes for its To Love-Ru -Trouble- Darkness heroine poll. While Shueisha hasn't announced when the results will be published, the ANN readers weighed in on the questions themselves. The results were actually diverse, with only one character topping two areas.

Which character would you want to be your girlfriend (or wife)?

1. Yui Kotegawa 25.0%
2. Momo Belia Deviluke 24.5%
3. Lala Satalin Deviluke 13.5%
4. Golden Darkness 10.8%
5. Mikan Yūki 8.6%
6. Haruna Sairenji 4.5%
7. Nana Astar Deviluke 3.7%
8. Tearju Lunatique 1.7%
9. Mea Kurosaki 1.3%
10. Risa Momioka 1.2%

Readers chose the the tsundere, well-mannered Yui. She will undoubtedly call you "shameless" when you forget to mow the lawn or leave your dirty laundry on the floor.

Which character would you want to be in your family (but not as a wife/girlfriend)?

1. Mikan Yūki 41.9%
2. Golden Darkness 10.9%
3. Lala Satalin Deviluke 7.6%
4. Momo Belia Deviluke 6.8%
5. Celine 6.7%
6. Nana Astar Deviluke 5.3%
7. Haruna Sairenji 4.4%
8. Yui Kotegawa 3.5%
9. Tearju Lunatique 2.0%
10. Nemesis

Rito's 12-year-old sister Mikan was the top choice. She's shown in the manga to be very reliable and well suited to taking care of the house and her older brother.

Which character would you want to be your friend?

1. Golden Darkness 17.8%
2. Lala Satalin Deviluke 14.6%
3. Momo Belia Deviluke 12.6%
4. Yui Kotegawa 8.2%
5. Haruna Sairenji 8.0%
6. Mea Kurosaki 7.3%
7. Nana Astar Deviluke 5.3%
8. Mikan Yūki 5.1%
9. Risa Momioka 4.4%
10. Nemesis 3.9%

Initially a villain sent to assassinate Rito, Golden Darkness instead ends up building a close friendship with Mikan. The two become friendly after many attempts on Mikan's part to win over the seemingly stoic Yami. She'd probably be a great friend to hang out at the library with and eat taiyaki.

Which character would be your favorite if all the heroines were in an idol group?

1. Momo Belia Deviluke 20.1%
2. Yui Kotegawa 15.6%
3. Lala Satalin Deviluke 14.3%
4. Golden Darkness 13.9%
5. Run Elise Jewelria 8.8%
6. Mikan Yūki 6.0%
7. Nana Astar Deviluke 4.9%
8. Mea Kurosak 3.1%
9. Nemesis 2.5%
10. Haruna Sairenji 2.4%

Momo would likely excel in an idol group setting with her more than capable acting abilities.

Which character would you want to switch bodies with for just one day?

1. Golden Darkness 31.6%
2. Lala Satalin Deviluke 11.7%
3. Yui Kotegawa 10.5%
4. Momo Belia Deviluke 8.7%
5. Nemesis 6.1%
6. Tearju Lunatique 5.1%
7. Mea Kurosaki 4.4%
8. Mikan Yūki 3.9%
9. Nana Astar Deviluke 2.8%
10. Ryoko Mikado 2.7%

Being Golden Darkness for a day also means you can physically transform, attack people with your hair, create wormholes, and do a whole bunch of destruction on your foes.
