Haruna Sairenji[Jp. 1] is a fictional character of the manga series To Love Ru, created by Saki Hasemi and Kentaro Yabuki. Haruna is one of the series protagonist Rito Yuki's classmates, as well as the girl of his affections;[1] Haruna has similar feelings for him, having been attracted to his kind, gentle nature since junior high. She is also best friends with Lala Satalin Deviluke, an alien princess from another planet; despite both girls having romantic feelings for Rito, Lala, however, feels no jealousy and instead encourages Haruna to confess to him.

In the anime adaptation, Haruna is voiced by Sayuri Yahagi in Japanese,[2] and by Bryn Apprill and Monica Rial in the English version.[3] Although Haruna is regarded as one of the most popular characters in To Love Ru, she has received mixed critical responses: Haruna's relationship with Rito, as well as her attractiveness, have been praised, while her diminishing role throughout the series has been a point of critic.
