Transcription: " Prediction is Impossible: Bousou Suru Yami" ( Japanese: Prediction is Impossible 〜暴走する闇〜) Rito finds Momo under the covers of his bed, before Nana, one of Lala's sisters, accuses him of sleeping with her. Nana questions Momo why all girls including Lala are attracted to Rito. After observing one whole day with Rito, Nana concludes that everyone is mistaken about Rito. Lala, Mikan, and Rito invite Nana and Momo to Hanami, but Momo turns them down, hoping to use this event to prove her statement about Rito. During the event, Momo summons an alien plant that releases pollen which will bring out everyone's true feelings. The pollen affects everyone except Lala and Rito. Nana does not feel convinced and forces the alien plant to release more pollen. The plant becomes possessed by its own pollen and captures Nana and Momo and later Lala. The plant drops Nana and Rito comes to the rescue, changing Nana's impression of Rito.a b c "Tokyo's Youth Healthy Development Council Looks at To Love-Ru Darkness". Anime News Network.

Anime News Network had four different writers review the first two-in-one omnibus volume of To Love Ru. Lynzee Loveridge, Amy McNulty and Rebecca Silverman each gave it a 3 out of 5 rating. Loveridge described the work as pure harem and praised Yabuki's comedic artwork, but felt that the personality types of the love-triangled main characters were "retreading well worn ground." McNulty disagreed, calling Lala "refreshingly charming" and noting that Haruna does not enter tired tropes either. Silverman called Yabuki's art dynamic and attractive and recommended the series to fans of harem rom-coms, but called the plot very cliché and providing nothing new. McNulty stated that the beginning with just the original love-triangle works just fine, making the love interests added later seem unnecessary, and comes off as quaint when compared to To Love Ru Darkness. Also in comparison to the sequel, Loveridge described the original series as tame in comparison to the "thinly veiled hentai" that is To Love Ru Darkness.

When it comes to harems, the viewers/readers tend to end up at each other's throats before long simply because everyone has different tastes in girls, and despite the supposedly light-hearted premise of the series itself, the fans still turn hostile due to their so-called waifu wars. The To LOVE-Ru Darkness fan base however is not really like that. Since it has been so clear since the beginning that the harem ending has always been the end goal, there is no need to fight over who the best girl is, because after all in the harem ending, every girl is a winner. As a result the series has one of the friendliest communities I have seen in manga and anime, and one of few I can actually say I am proud to be a part of. Or to quote Sugisaki Ken: "in the harem ending, everyone is happy." Japanese Comic Ranking, August 31-September 6". Anime News Network. September 9, 2015 . Retrieved April 25, 2022.
