The short story collection To Love Ru -Trouble- Short Story Collection Parade went on sale on October 2. It gathers one-shot stories from the To Love Ru series, including one in which Rito Yuki splits into multiple copies every time he sneezes because of an invention by Lala. Kentaro Yabuki, who draws the manga with scripts by Saki Hasemi, promoted the release on his official X account. The volume costs 616 yen in the Jump Comics DIGITAL line. Separately, all chapters of To Love Ru -Trouble- Darkness were free to read in the browser version of Shonen Jump+ until 4:59 a.m. on October 3. COMIC ZIN, which received many inquiries, set a limit of one copy per person at the in-store register for the new book's release day. The store said repeat purchases by the same customer are prohibited and it may ask suspicious customers to leave.
Both the author and the retailer treat the release as a bigger event than a single bonus card suggests. The book is the first new To Love Ru volume to ship in 9 years, and Kentaro Yabuki marked the day on his official X account, where he wrote "Have a darkness-filled night" while pointing readers to the free run of To Love Ru -Trouble- Darkness. The free reading period stayed open in the browser version of Shonen Jump+ only, and the same post carried the cover reveal for the short story collection along with the note that it gathers one-shots starting with the latest one published in Jump GIGA.
COMIC ZIN went further than a purchase cap. The ZIN bonus is an illustration card, and the store said it plans to keep it coming for at least three months. Bonuses are already set aside for restocked copies, and the store is pressing the publisher for more stock. Anyone who wants the card is told to watch restock notices before visiting, since the store also reserved the right to halt sales at any time if staff judge the situation could disrupt operations.
The original To Love Ru ran in Weekly Shonen Jump from 2006 to 2009. Its spin-off, To Love Ru -Trouble- Darkness, followed in Jump Square from 2010 to 2017 across 18 volumes, with Lala's twin sisters Momo and Nana transferring to Sainan High School and Momo pushing a "Paradise (Harem) Plan."
