    It was canceled cause of the authors marriage difficulty, popularity wasn't the issue.

    The common consesus in the TLR threads is that, Yabuki had to quit because he can't be a full time mangaka for a weekly series and taking care of his little girl (she's three) at the same time (now that he has full custody).
    Here's the rest of the article(long read).

    Why To Love-RU cancelled

    The common consesus in the TLR threads is that, Yabuki had to quit because he can't be a full time mangaka for a weekly series and taking care of his little girl (she's three) at the same time (now that he has full custody).

    Ataru was asking about how much TLR was Hasemi, Yabuki, and the editors... Well, according to the Manga Brain (a special section dedicated to interviews with a mangaka in WSJ), Yabuki usually discusses the story with Hasemi over the phone on Wednesdays, then spends half a day doing the preliminary draft on Fridays... Have another in-depth discussion with both the editor and Hasemi in the afternoon, and finish up the final product on Tuesday morning (Tuesday afternoon is his free time).

    - There is this person called Nakamura Ine who is quite famous on the Nico Nico website (a large Japanese online community somewhat like Youtube), who turned out to be a minor (last year in high school) and also insinuated that he has something going on with a Kashiwagi Shiho.

    - Now this Shiho was the wife of Yabuki Kentaro, the author of To-Love-Ru. She met Yabuki when he was looking for assistants, seduced him and ended up becoming his wife and gave birth to a daughter.

    - But she hardly did any house work, neglected her daughter, and spent most of her days in front of a computer spending time in Nico Nico etc.

    - January 2009, when Yabuki was sick with flu and bedridden, she kidnapped her own daughter and disappeared, and it turned out that she left her daughter at her parents' place while she was doing this and that with Ine.

    - February 2009, Yabuki 'begged' Shiho to return for the sake of their daughter, and Shiho did return to Tokyo, but few days later she dropped out once again with the girl, this time taking a notebook computer and Yabuki's credit cards. Yabuki later stopped the cards, but a large sum of money was already taken out.

    - Yabuki looked for them everywhere, but to no avail. March 2009, Shiho demanded a divorce on the grounds of personality clash and a large chunk of Yabuki's assets, but when the evidence of her infidelity was discovered on her computer, she then changed her stance and demanded money in exchange for the custody right of the daughter.

    - Realizing it would take over a year to settle things, Yabuki accepted her conditions and got the daughter back.

    - Haruna Sairenji was based on Kashiwagi Shiho, and there is a reason why her role was reduced dramatically since volume 13, and Yui getting more prominent. And apparently Shiho has sued/demanded more money for the character of Haruna recently.

    - A comment of Yabuki's while this was all happening:
    [While I was working hard on a manga that was focused on taking young girls' panties off, another man was taking my wife's panties off.]

    - I forgot to mention that following the dispute over Haruna's character right, Yabuki feared his daughter getting hurt by all the debacle, so he accepted Shiho's demand yet again and ended the series prematurely.


    Nakamura Ine, the famous guy in the horse mask performing music on nico, has admitted on his blog that he had extramarital relations with Kashiwagi Shiho, the wife of ToLoveru artist Yabuki Kentarou. On his blog he apologizes deeply once more to Yabuki and also to all that have been affected by this.

    Kashiwagi Shiho had started getting in touch with the musicians on nico douga and got to know Nakamura Ine among others, and she had collaborations with them by helping them draw the art for the music they post up (under the handle name of Ume).

    Kashiwagi and Yabuki are apparently now currently divorced since early this year (the extramarital relations happened before the divorce) and Yabuki has the custodial rights to their 3 year old daughter.

    The entire issue was spotted and dug up through mixi and there was a very long battle as 2ch posters tried to find more evidence and confront Nakamura and Kashiwagi. There was a lot of unconfirmed info so I hadn’t posted about it till now.

    There is still a lot about what happened between them, so interested parties that understand Japanese can read the wiki.

    He had announced that he will be joining the Ouzoku Band but now he’ll leave them instead, and he’ll delete his mixi account, his blog, and all of his and Ume’s videos from nico douga.

    You guys got a fansub group to recommend for Setokai Yakuindomo? The translations that i find tend to be kinda weak since i can kinda tell sometimes that there's a joke going over my head which could have been easily explained through better translation.

    Wow, didn't know all that shit happened to Yabuki. That's pretty fucked up. I always thought it was canceled due to low ratings.

    Damn, so if TLR ended up going Ruto would've gotten with Yui? That would've been awesome lol. She was my favorite after the last half.

    I use Ayako

    Ah, it was always near the bottom of the reader polls Jump has within the magazine, which Jump uses sometimes to determine which series to cut for new ones. Wasn't sure how well the manga volumes were selling though.

    Looks like a fight between Ruumaru subs which actually translates the jokes so that i understand what;'s so funny and Ayako subs which has better translation except for the jokes they dont explain which ryumaru does.

    I don't really need the jokes explained but I think Ayako does explain some of them anyways.

    The jokes don't really need explanation...I've never heard a joke and been confused.

    Shiki 5
    Toru's death was a bit too fast to have any meaning, Masao on the other hand...so glad he's going to die. If he makes a return like Shimizu I'm going to be pretty annoyed though. God what a fucking weird character he is.

    I want more of that little girl who showed up, she was really interesting, and Natsuno. He seems pissed more than anything like he's dead set on avenging Toru or figuring out what's going on at the very least.

    I take it to mean more that Yui was becoming more of Lala's rival, cause there has to be a rival interest in these series. But man.. that ending was such garbage.. Even if it was rushed, it could have had more (any) closure at least rather than the cop-out for a decision..

    Also, anyone have any word on a sub of the 2nd Eden movie? Haven't been able to find one yet

    Now, I can't understand a lick of Japanese so can someone here help me out? I'm pretty sure this is the same VA as Ritsu in K-ON and it sounds like she mentions Ricchan at :38.
    Can someone give me a rough translation of this scene?

    Highschool of the Dead meets both of those requirements. >.> Only a few episodes have aired so far though.
