Kimi no Koto ga Daidaidaidaidaisuki na 100-nin no Kanojo

Upon graduating middle school, Rentarou Aijou manages to confess to the girl he loves. Unfortunately, he gets rejected, making it his 100th rejection in a row. Having experienced heartbreak after heartbreak, he goes to a matchmaking shrine and prays with the hope of finally getting a girlfriend in high school. Suddenly, the god of the shrine appears, promising Rentarou that he will meet one hundred soulmates in high school.

Although skeptical at first, Rentarou quickly acknowledges the truth behind the god's words when two of his soulmates—Hakari Hanazono and Karane Inda—confess to him the very same day that they meet him. However, there was one detail that the god forgot to tell Rentarou: if any of his soulmates fails to get into a relationship with him, they will die. Now trapped in a matter of life and death, Rentarou decides to date all of his soulmates.

With a heart so big that it can be shared among one hundred girlfriends, Rentarou makes the most out of his unanticipated high school life, with the Rentarou family growing ever larger!

Preliminary (41/? eps)

The 100 Girlfriends Who Really, Really, Really, Really, Really Love You is a manga of absolute insanity, but this insanity works so well to deliver a very refreshing and absolutely hilarious take on the harem genre, and stands out from the rest of Jump's lineup. It is essentially a parody manga with the absurd premise of the protagonist Rentarou dedicating himself to get together with 100 girls, or else they die. He has no free time for himself as he tries his best and works his hardest for all these girls. As of writing this review there are 22 chapters available and this mad lad ...

Preliminary (14/? eps)

The 100 Girlfriends Who Really, Really, Really, Really, Really Love You is without a doubt one of the most true representations of its own title. We are about 12 chapters in and already a plethora of heroines have been introduced and conquered and I would be shocked if we didn't end up seeing the full 100 girlfriends by the end of this series.

Story - The 100 Girlfriends is built on a fairly simple and novel concept. That being that our main character, Aijou, has experienced 100 heartbreaks before seeing the God of Love appear before him and informing him that he was accidentally assigned ...

Preliminary (150/? eps)

(repost since this is more general for the manga)

While The 100 Girlfriends is often praised for being a parody of the harem genre, I personally found it to be an incredibly overrated series that leans far too heavily on the very tropes it’s supposedly satirizing. The premise alone—a guy is fated to fall in love with 100 girls or they'll die—is absurd, and while that could’ve led to some clever meta-humor or commentary on the genre, the execution falls flat. It ends up feeling more like a flashy gimmick designed to get attention rather than a meaningful twist on romcom or harem conventions.

The tone of ... the show reeks of that “hyper-kawaii" weeb-bait aesthetic that reminds me of anime culture/fans in the 2017-COVID era: loud, overly sugary, and trying way too hard to be cute or quirky without much substance. It’s the kind of show to made to flood youtube feeds of "cute compilations" of anime, as well as get people to be like "___ best girl" "___ supremacy" and cringeworthy things like that.

While I get that the show is meant to be self-aware, that self-awareness doesn't necessarily excuse the lazy writing or recycled tropes. For example, one of the most braindead scenes happens in episode 2 alone: Karane (The first introduced love interest along with Hakari, and the show's poster tsundere) is blindfolded during a school test of courage, and a cat accidentally brushes against her inner thigh. She instantly assumes the protagonist, Rentarou, touched her and beats the hell out of him. It's not funny AT ALL. it’s a textbook misunderstanding trope used for cheap laughs and fanservice, and from that scene alone, I could tell the show would be hardcapped at a 6 at best.

Speaking of Karane: she's often hailed as a fan-favorite, but I just do not like her her. That might partially be due to my general dislike for tsundere characters, especially those who rely on violent slapstick and possess little emotional depth early on. I will admit, her backstory involving her tsundere family was genuinely funny and at least tried to add some character depth, and she can be cute at times when the show pretty much devolves into post-irony.

I also really disliked Hakari. She's the "flirty airhead" archetype, constantly trying to act seductive but with zero depth behind her behavior. Her one-note obsession with being lewd comes off as annoying rather than endearing, especially since Rentarou is too terrified or spineless to respond to any of the girls’ advances. (I fucking HATE hate these type of characters. Just wait until I get to you Rito.) It turns into a frustrating loop: the girls keep throwing themselves at him, Rentarou freaks out or shuts down, rinse and repeat. It’s hard to enjoy scenes that are meant to be romantic or sexy when the guy looks like he’s one sneeze away from having a panic attack.

Which brings me to another big issue: the dynamic between Rentarou and the girls. They’re constantly trying to get lewd with him, pushing him into sexually charged situations, while he’s too scared or flustered to do anything. This makes their interactions feel forced, repetitive, and weirdly one-sided. It’s hard to buy into any actual romantic development when everything is just lewd gags with zero intimacy or sincerity.

When it comes to the humor in general, I feel like the self-awareness just gets to a point of it trying too hard, and it honestly makes me start to see things from the perspective of my friend, who hates anime. It's just such awkward and "weeb 100" humor to me.

That being said, I won’t claim that the series is abysmal, It is decent by harem standards, and there were definitely moments that genuinely got a laugh out of me. I also appreciate how the protagonist Rentarou actually tries to be emotionally honest and open with the girls, which is refreshing for the genre. But beyond that, I couldn’t find much to hold onto. It felt like another cashgrab romcom with a "parody" label slapped on as a defense mechanism.
