To Love-Ru 15th Anniversary Exhibit Releases Main Visual By Kentaro Yabuki

posted on by Kim Morrissy
1st ever exhibit for Yabuki's classic ecchi manga will run in Tokyo from November 6 to 15

Kentarō Yabuki's To Love-Ru -Trouble- manga is celebrating its 15th anniversary with its first ever art exhibit. Eastage, the company which is organizing the exhibit, released the event's key visual drawn by Yabuki on Monday. Tickets are also now on sale for the exhibit in the Tokyo Solomachi entertainment complex, which will run from November 6 to 15.

Yabuki commented: "To everyone who thought, 'They're holding a To Love-Ru art exhibit at Solamachi? Is that gonna be okay?!' Don't worry, I thought the same thing (laughs). Regardless of how much art will be permissible to put on display, I think it will be quite a rare opportunity for you all to see my paper manuscript art now that I've completely transitioned to digital submissions! I've put a lot of energy into preparing the key visual, so look forward to it!"

Further details about the exhibit contents and merchandise available for purchase will be released through the exhibit website and through Kentarō Yabuki's Twitter account at a later date.

Tickets can be purchased in Japan through the LAWSON ticket service, and the general admission price is 1,800 yen (approximately US$15).

The "slightly risque" To Love-Ru -Trouble- science-fiction romantic comedy manga launched in Shueisha's Weekly Shonen Jump in 2006 and concluded in 2009. The To Love-Ru -Trouble- Darkness sequel manga launched in Jump SQ. in 2010, and ended in March 2017, although Shueisha published two bonus spinoff chapters in the May and June issues of Jump SQ. in the same year. Seven Seas Entertainment is releasing both manga in English. The original manga inspired two television anime seasons in 2008 and 2010, and Darkness inspired a TV anime and OVA series from 2012 to 2016.

Kentarō Yabuki most recently launched the Ayakashi Triangle manga in Weekly Shonen Jump's 28th issue on June 15. He launched the manga adaptation of the original anime DARLING in the FRANXX on Shueisha's Shonen Jump+ website and app in January 2018, and ended the manga on January 26. Yabuki also wrote and drew the Black Cat manga, which inspired a television anime adaptation in 2005-2006.
