posted on by Karen Ressler
To Love-Ru -Trouble- Darkness manga writer Saki Hasemi commented in the manga's 18th and final volume on Tuesday that, while To Love-Ru -Trouble- Darkness is over, and while any future developments haven't yet been decided, it is "not the final chapter" of To Love-Ru.
Artist Kentarō Yabuki also revealed in the volume that he thinks his next work will not be related to To Love-Ru. However, he also joked that he would like to draw a story about the character Mikan as a magical girl. "It would be nice if there is a time and place where I can draw that," he said.
The To Love-Ru -Trouble- Darkness manga ended on March 4, although Shueisha plans to publish two bonus spinoff chapters in the May and June issues of its Jump SQ. magazine. The manga is a sequel of the first To Love-Ru -Trouble- series, and it launched in Jump SQ. in 2010.
Sentai Filmworks licensed the 2012 To Love-Ru -Trouble- Darkness television anime series, and The Anime Network streamed the series in North America. The second season, To Love-Ru -Trouble- Darkness 2nd, premiered in July 2015, and Sentai Filmworks licensed the series. Crunchyroll streamed the series as it aired in Japan.
The series has also inspired several original video anime (OVAs), including a new OVA that that will be bundled with the upcoming 10th anniversary book on August 4.
