To Love-Ru: Darkness

To Love-Ru Darkness remains a steady merchandise franchise, with no new anime or manga announced in the current coverage. The most recent releases are a Taito Mea Kurosaki China dress prize figure and a short story collection, To Love Ru -Trouble- Short Story Collection Parade, which went on sale on October 2.

Synthesized from 17 Yomimono stories · updated Oct 10

Coverage of To Love-Ru Darkness across these stories is almost entirely about merchandise, and it splits into two tracks: prize figures available through crane games and lotteries, and premium scale figures sold through preorders.

Taito and Banpresto carry the prize side. Banpresto's Nyaaruz Collection adds cat cosplay figures including Run Elsie Jewelria and Yui Kotegawa, scheduled from September 15, 2026, as part of a nine-character run. Taito's Desktop Cute series puts Mea Kurosaki in a China dress at amusement facilities from September 30. Bandai Spirits runs the Ichiban Kuji lottery, which launches November 18, 2026 at 980 yen per draw, with a Yami figure as the B Prize and Momo Belia Deviluke revealed as the Last One Prize.

Union Creative dominates the scale side, mostly through its fillette and Les filles lines with sculptor Akabeko and painter Nana Moriyama. Yui Kotegawa and Haruna Sairenji appear as fillette ver. figures, and child versions of Lala Satalin Deviluke and Momo Belia Deviluke ship in early 2027. Mea Kurosaki gets a school uniform figure, Yuzuki Riko gets a 28cm figure, and the Run Elsie Jewelria Darkness Ver. returns in a renewal package. Tearju Lunatique's swimsuit figure is re-released, while FREEing's B-style line adds bare-leg bunny figures of Lala and Nana Astar Deviluke at 1/4 scale.

The one non-figure story is the short story collection To Love Ru -Trouble- Short Story Collection Parade, which went on sale on October 2, 2026, at 616 yen in the Jump Comics DIGITAL line, with a COMIC ZIN purchase limit of one copy per person. No new anime or manga continuation is reported in these stories.
