To Love-Ru Darkness ch. 45 : How many licks does it take?

Yami unleashes her ultimate technique: cloning several fake Ritos and having them all lick Mea into submission!

And it almost works, until Rito shows up to return the favor.  Some of the fanservice highlights:

Yami opens with an ass shot

Mea counters with a close-up ass shot.

But ultimately Yami wins this phase, on account of having almost nothing on down there.

Yami creates Rito clones with her hair, and here we get a licking scene that makes up for a mostly talkative manga chapter.

…pushing the envelope as usual with lower body nudity.

Mea takes one for the team.

Mea still getting obliterated…  This time without any pesky chat bubbles.

Yowza.  I hope this scene lasts 5 minutes in the anime.

One last look before it’s over…

They are really milking it for all it’s worth with the Yami ass shots in this chapter.

Yami’s darkness form outfit is one of the better costume designs I’ve seen in an ecchi manga.

Next chapter we find out that Rito is a man of his word.

The teaser art for To Love-Ru Darkness 2nd  hints at Yami in her darkness form.  It’s probably a safe guess that the new anime will conclude at the end of the Yami-Darkness arc, which is the next chapter after this one.

Should be interesting, since the previous anime covered five volumes and was paced just right.  Getting this far would mean the second To Love-Ru Darkness  anime would cover 6.5 volumes.

I hope my guess is right, because chapter 46 would be a fitting end to a To Love-Ru season, with Rito willingly beasting on Yami’s sexy outfit and body.  The next chapter needs to be animated, no doubt.
