It aired for 12 episodes between October 6 and December 22, 2010 and would mark the beginning of the anime strictly adhering to the manga.

Although it allows Lala to specify a distance, they end up naked to school, with Rito teleporting right under Haruna's skirt, who slaps him and runs off.

Two bounty hunters, Tiger and Panther who are after Yami attach a body controlling device to Rito and use him as a puppet to attack her.

Mikan discovers their hiding spot and Lala overrides their signal with a more powerful controller and has Rito beat them.

Though initially embarrassed toward each other, Haruna and Rito start talking about their pasts but are discovered by Ryouko before they can become closer, as the unknown location was in the basement at her clinic.

Lala feeds him a relaxing drug that accidentally gets him drunk and he ends up embarrassing both Haruko and Mikan.

Rito struggles, even more, when he accidentally adjusts the settings causing him to see everyone completely naked.

As Yami always wears the same battle dress, Risa and Mio bring her to a clothes shop and try to find her a new style.

Yami finds some attractive new clothes but accidentally tears her new skirt protecting Rito from delinquents.

The stalker turns out to be a female dog-like alien who is actually in love with Maron, though Oshizu beats her up anyway as she is terrified of dogs.

Her servants, Aya and Rin, help by kidnapping Rito, who is hiding from Lala and her lethal cooking.

However, the skunk gases Run into a child then escapes and cause chaos at school by gassing everybody into children except Haruna who has to take care of them all.

Oshizu forces Rito to apply suntan oil to the half-naked Ryouko until an angry Yui intervenes.

Momo summons an alien watermelon instead-but Saki insults it, causing it to attack everyone.

Run unwillingly stars as the scantily clad villain in the next Magical Kyouko episode.

Hearing about Risa and Mio talk about a perfect body, Haruna thinks about her bust in relation to Lala and how she's failed to enlarge them, though she is happy when Rito says he values personality more than he does breast size.

After many attempts, Haruna tells Nana to stop and quotes Rito that personality matters more.

Maron tries to teach Rito how to act like a dog and has him lick Haruna as a way of showing affection.

Lala finds Rito and puts him back in his own body, offering to turn him into a cat next time.

She drinks it and, being a part plant, becomes drunk from the sugar and begins spreading pollen everywhere that immediately makes people fall in love with Rito.

Saki and the others get infected by the pollen and fall for Rito along with an entire street full of passers-by.

Risa tests Rito's reaction to girls, leading him by love hotels and to her house where she takes him into her bedroom.
