There is this strange feeling when you open To Lala-RU and it looks like a goofy school comedy, but your brain already knows: someone is going to get fucked in a way that ruins a relationship they didn't even know they cared about. The game throws you into the shoes of a very average guy in a very anime high school, surrounded by girls that clearly do not understand basic physics because their tits and asses are way too much for those tight uniforms. You click thinking it will be light parody, like watching To Love Ru clips on YouTube while scrolling Twitter, and suddenly you are staring at Lala riding some dude in a classroom like she is proving a theorem about gravity with her pussy. It feels familiar and wrong at the same time, like opening WhatsApp “just to check something” and ending up deep in an ex's Instagram stories, knowing you shouldn't be there but staying anyway. The 3D models are almost too clean for how dirty the situations get, which is kind of interesting if you like that clash between plastic anime shine and raw, messy sex. I don't, and then I do, and then I don't again.

What got me was how the game slowly plays with the netorare thing without screaming about it. At first it looks like a goofy school life story, everyone in uniforms, halls, classrooms, Lala being this chaotic alien princess parody who clearly has no idea about consent in a normal sense, just pure horny curiosity. You follow the male protagonist, thinking you are here to get your dick wet with her, and the pacing tricks you. There is this one scene in a quiet corner of the school, late after classes, where she is supposed to be “testing” some sci‑fi gadget. He is there, you are expecting the usual corny hentai setup, but then the scene twists and the device basically ends up being an excuse for her to get mounted by someone else while your guy just stands there, half hard, half useless. Watching her bounce on another cock in that school uniform, tits slipping out, her moaning his name while the protagonist is in the frame but meaningless, hit me harder than I expected. It is not super violent, not screaming, just matter of fact: you were never the center. The game actually tries to be funny during all this, with dumb alien tech jokes that mostly fall flat, and that weirdly makes the sex feel even more cruel. Porn with laugh track. You click through dialog that looks like a bad Discord shitpost, and then the camera drops right between her legs, full vaginal penetration, the kind where you see the lips stretch and your brain goes quiet. It pretends to be a relaxing parody, but the more scenes you unlock the more it feels like watching a philosophy experiment about jealousy, except the experiment keeps cumming on Lala’s face. The choices barely matter, the routes are thinner than they pretend to be, some transitions are clunky as hell and I still kept going, because every time I thought “ok I got it, same thing again” the game punched me with another angle where the protagonist is in the room but not really in the story, like when you are in a group chat and everybody is flirting around you. In the end I closed it and opened Spotify, but my head kept replaying that stupid classroom scene with her in the uniform, knees on the desk, skirt up, his hand on his useless hard-on while she screams for the other guy. Weirdly relaxing. Not relaxing at all. I am still not sure which.
