<p>I see there are 7 anime series including OVAs and I was wondering if the anime and manga are aligned perfectly.</p>

<p>What I mean is, did the anime end before the manga and do I have to continue with the manga after the series? If I have to continue, which chapter do I start at? And has the manga finished?</p>

Has the anime for To Love-Ru caught up with the manga?
