To Love-Ru Darkness ch. 47 : No good deed goes unpunished

To Love-Ru Darkness ch 47 cover1+2+3

This chapter provides the falling action of the Yami/Darkness arc, as various characters get a breather after all the intense ecchi shenanigans they’d just gone through.

There’s a lot to cover in this chapter.  First, we learn more about Lala’s condition, which caused her to inexplicably transform into loli-mode during her battle with darkness-mode Yami.  Remember how Lala’s dad kinda looks like a baby?  I guess when her family line expends a lot of energy in battle, they turn into a baby state.

It is reversible with time, apparently not much time according to Lala.  In the meantime, lolicon fans are happy, (and Xebec will have an interesting decision to make).

Even in loli form, Lala still loves walking out of the shower and into the hallway totally buck naked.  And she still gets a bit indecent when transforming into her outfits:

A bit later on, we find Yami in a state of remorse after nearly ending Earth in her alter-ego state.  She apologizes to Yui and Haruna for doing very ecchi things to them.  No biggie, they’re used to that kind of stuff by now.

Yami struggles to hide her feelings as she attempts to thank Rito for saving her.  Rito, feeling shame for his intense gropefest in the previous chapter, interrupts her to apologize, and the details become embarrassing for all parties.

“I did such ecchi things”…  “like your butt”…  “and your boobies, I rubbed them all over…”

Who knew an apology could seem so dirty?

Anyway, you can probably guess what happens next.

Hey, accidents happen.  Is it just me, or has this manga become a bit extra obsessed with crotch shots in recent chapters?  Not that anyone is complaining.

We get a cute little scene here where Yami claims she isn’t all the things she secretly is.

Sending this chapter off is a brief rendezvous between Mea and Nemesis.

It doesn’t tell us anything all that interesting, although we get a nice view of Mea’s legs and butt during her convo.

This more or less brings a close to the Yami/Darkness arc.  There’s a really good chance the last few minutes in the final episode of the upcoming anime will be based on this chapter.

After this, the manga loses direction a bit, but that’s okay because the random side stories it dives into amp up the service even more than before.
