Legendary ecchi series To Love Ru will hold its first-ever Genga exhibition this November to commemorate the 15th anniversary of the manga. The event will take place at Tokyo Soramachi in Sumida-ku, Tokyo from November 6 to 15, 2021.
Yabuki Kentaro, the illustrator of the manga series, commented:
“To Love Ru Exhibition in Soramachi? Is this all right?!” If you are thinking that, I’m on the same page lol Putting aside how far the event is allowed to exhibit, since digital manuscripts are widely accepted today, it’d be a really rare chance to see raw scripts! I’m giving it my all to prepare the key visual, so I hope you look forward to it~!!

The official English publisher for the franchise, Seven Seas Entertainment describes the plot of Volumes 1-2 as:
Yuuki Rito is your average high school student—awkward, shy, and hopeless when it comes to confessing his feelings to the girl of his dreams. But one day, a beautiful woman suddenly materializes in his bathtub! Her name is Lala Deviluke, an alien princess on the run from an intergalactic empire. After Rito gets unwittingly engaged to Lala, he soon finds himself sucked into a battle for Lala’s affections, as alien suitors from across the galaxy vie for her hand in marriage. Rito’s troubles have only just begun!
