Where to continue after the anime

After Darkness 2 and its final OVAs, continue Darkness at chapter 55. Without those OVAs, chapter 49 is the earlier continuation. The first TV series diverges significantly; read the original To Love Ru manga before Darkness for its full continuity.

How far from the end?

100% · Not applicable
Source: Finished

The original manga and Darkness have separate numbering; the first TV series diverges and the OVAs select later stories out of order. There is no single contiguous franchise percentage.

100% is an N/A marker, not source coverage or a completed anime story.
