Haruna Sairenji

Description \ Bio

Haruna Sairenji is the second female protagonist of To Love Ru. She is in Rito's class and is the girl of his affections. Haruna has similar feelings for him, having been attracted to him because of his kind, gentle nature since junior high, but believes them to be unrequited and has not built up the nerve to confess to him. Despite her growing love for Rito, her friendship with Lala causes her to suppress her feelings since she doesn't want to hurt Lala who also loves Rito. However, with some encouragement, she eventually tells Lala of her feelings for Rito which Lala accepts, stating that Haruna is her rival for Rito's heart, while still remaining friends. In the anime, there is a running gag where Rito is about to confess to her, only for something (or someone) to come between them. They finally confessed to each other in Chapter 75 & 76 within gym storage. Haruna is affiliated with Sainan High's tennis club and also is left handed. Haruna has blue hair and purple eyes, she has quite a cute complexion which most boys seem to like. She always wears a red vertical hair clip on the left of her head. According to Sawada Mio, Haruna's measurements are B79-W56-H82. Despite being considered physically attractive for a girl her age, she often feels inferior being surrounded by girls like Lala and Yui, who are far more developed physically. A highly responsible person, Haruna's personality can sway her classmate's hearts to vote for her as their class representative, even when she did not run as a candidate. Haruna is also a very kind, understanding and patient person, to the point that she's polite to everyone around her, especially to Rito. Despite his perverted clumsiness, she always forgives him in time. However, she does occasionally slap him for it out of fear, even though she is fully aware that he does not do it on purpose, but she forgives him very quickly. In the beginning, she had feelings for Rito, but did not express them until she started hanging out with Lala, after which she started showing signs of jealousy. This did not prevent her from becoming good friends with Lala. Once when she was intoxicated off of Deviluke herbs, she couldn't help but cling on to Rito (while half naked and wet) and said that he's all hers for the moment (Darkness Chapter 26). Haruna secretly enjoys Rito's kindness; one time he found her when she had been turned into a cat by one of Lala's inventions and, unaware that it was Haruna, started playing with her, which she claimed was like being in heaven. It is her genuine wish to be with Rito, though her shyness and Rito's clumsiness stand as the obstacles for her to advance. As the series continues, she begins to fantasize the moment where she found herself being with Rito romantically, but quickly shakes them off and blushes. It is hinted that Haruna is a perverted girl as well, because she even thinks about ecchi moments with Rito in secret. She has a severe fear of ghosts and the supernatural with the exception being Oshizu Murasame, but only for a while. When frightened, she has a habit of grabbing the nearest thing around her – typically Rito – and swinging wildly, in an attempt to get rid of whatever frightens her.
