His life spirals into turmoil with the unexpected appearance of Lala Satalin Deviluke, an alien princess, who announces that she is his fiance.

Both series blend elements of romance and comedy. The romantic entanglements in To Love-Ru, especially Rito’s awkward and often unintended situations with the girls, mirror the comedic and romantic scenarios Futaro finds himself in with the quintuplets.
