To Love-Ru Vol. 16

VOL. 16 – BOYS AND CHOCOLATE AND… ME
Trouble 134 – A Forceful Game Board (or Trouble Game 2)


The events that happen in this chapter is a bit boring, as it doesn't see that new or original. I got bored when I was a couple of pages it, but then again, comparing to some of the previous chapters, this is better. A few laughs, but it seemed really weird, so it’s not as great as I thought it was going to be (maybe that’s why I’m a bit disappointed about it as I had higher expectations), but still was amusing for a while.

Trouble 135 – Disaster? Elopement (or Trouble Game 3)

A bit more fun than the last chapter, although it would seem like that Haruna is now daydreaming more about Rito than ever before. I still think the gag with Celine and milk is too overboard and forced (personally, I think it’s not that funny a gag).

Trouble 136 – Boys and Chocolate and… Me

I really like this chapter, it is Valentine’s Day again, and since Rito’s surrounded by girls (the harem is fairly big now) he’s bound to get a few chocolates. It focuses on Kotegawa’s efforts and I think it was great, it hit all the right spots in terms of humor and the current story.


Kotegawa makes her own chocolate and the chapter ends when she realises that she actually have to give it to Rito. I consider this a very good chapter.

Trouble 137 – Sweet Feelings are a Taste of Chocolate

Going on where the previous chapter ended, it continues the good aspects that made the previous chapter so enjoyable. I liked this story, and the way it was executed was excellent, achieving a perfect balance, a very enjoyable chapter well worth your time.

Trouble 138 – Happening Weather

Another fun and enjoyable chapter, this one’s really good as well. Kotegawa’s brother discovers Rito’s change to a girl, and he seemed to accept aliens pretty easily (the whole population of To Love-Ru accepts aliens so readily… no panic whatsoever). Yami does what she usually do, smashing Rito, and its really good this time.

Trouble 139 – The Trance of Feelings

Fourth time another charm, once more, a fun chapter to read. Mikan and Yami switch bodies and since Rito doesn't know what had happened, his thoughts are hilarious. The events are funny, and overall, the chapter was amusing. In addition, we start to see Yami warming up, and even happy that she experienced ‘family’.

Trouble 140 – Footsteps of Spring

I didn't like this chapter, but that’s mainly because I didn't like the story. A few scenes were funny; once again Run orders something via the Galaxy Mail to use on Lala but she accidentally use it on Haruna, it just wasn't that fun to read.

Trouble 141 – Ignorance is Love?

Nana once again questions why so many girls like Rito, and once again, (at the end of the chapter) she feels the friendliness of Rito. Pretty funny, especially in the beginning where you thought it would be Lala next to Rito only for it to be Momo.


We see that Nana might have started to develop some more feelings for Rito, although I don't think it ever blossoms majorly and she doesn't show it.

Trouble 142 – A Draft

Well, at least this chapter has a more refreshing plot, focusing on Kotegawa, it was an ok read, and wasn't terrible.

Overall

Most of the chapters in the volume are pretty good, so this particular volume is a good read. Only one or two bad lemons, and it seemed to focus a fair bit on Kotegawa, but it isn’t a bad thing in this case and is well worth your time to read it.
