To Love Ru (To LOVE-Ru)
Also known as: To LOVEる -とらぶる-
Timid sixteen-year-old Rito Yuuki struggles to confess to Haruna Sairenji until an unclothed alien princess crash-lands into his bath. Lala Satalin Deviluke, crown heir of the galaxy's dominant empire, proposes marriage to escape political arrangement,plunging Rito into romantic chaos as her growing circle of admirers continually sabotages his attempts to reach Haruna. Slapstick humor, physics-defying lewdness, and gorgeous women fuel this romantic comedy's escalating absurdity.
