The 100 Girlfriends Who Really, Really, Really, Really, REALLY Love You (94 to Go)

The sleepover continues: Hahari dresses Rentaro up, and the girls' attempt to peep on his bath ends with the cat, a tumbling Shizuka, and a stern lecture. Rentaro then finds Hahari at the family altar, where she admits she still loves Hakari's late father. He tells her she doesn't have to forget him, and she shares her first kiss with Rentaro.

That night Hakari sleeps beside him, and the ghost of Hakari's father entrusts the two women to Rentaro and passes on. The next day Hahari announces that she has bought the school and become its chairwoman, and Rentaro runs back to the girlfriends waiting for him.

• Dress-up and the peeping plan

  Hahari's invitation to her room turns out to be dressing Rentaro up as a girl, and Nano is dressed as a prince to 'wake' him. While Rentaro bathes, Hahari, Hakari, Kusuri, Karane, and Nano try to peep and tie up Shizuka when she objects, but steam blocks the view and a furry creature in the ceiling passage sets off a panic.

• Caught peeping

  The 'mouse' turns out to be the mansion's cat, and Shizuka, struggling to get free and stop them, tumbles into the bathroom when a dog barks. The girls claim they were playing hide-and-seek, but Karane's denial gives them away, and they all get a stern lecture.

• Hahari's confession at the family altar

  Rentaro follows the smell of incense to Hahari, who is praying before a photo of a middle-school boy, Hakari's father. She confesses that she still loves him and feels she has no right to love anyone else. Rentaro tells her two true loves can coexist, and Hahari shares her first kiss with him.

• Hakari's father passes on

  That night Hakari sleeps beside Rentaro and asks him to hold her until morning. The ghost of Hakari's father appears, thanks Rentaro for freeing Hahari's heart, and passes on once Rentaro promises to make both women happy and thanks him for bringing Hakari into the world; in the morning Rentaro wonders whether it was a dream.

• The new school chairwoman

  At an emergency school assembly, Hahari appears as the new chairwoman of the board, having bought the school because she missed them. Rentaro, who had run to her mansion at lunch to see her, races back to the girlfriends waiting for him.

Recent Timeline

• Bouquet toss and Hakari's forced separation (Episode 9)

  At a flower park bouquet toss whose winner could take a wedding-dress photo with their partner, the six cooperated, and Rentaro named the group the Rentaro Family. The Gorilla Union gang's wind lifted Shizuka Yoshimoto into the air with her towel; she caught the bouquet, fell when she let go, and Rentaro caught her. Hakari won the drawing, and everyone took the photo together.

  Afterward Hakari asked Rentaro to break up. Her mother had discovered he was dating all the girls at once, confiscated Hakari's phone, arranged a school transfer, and planned to move her the next day to a place even Hakari didn't know. Guards barred Rentaro from the mansion and her mother threatened him, so Rentaro resolved to sneak in and take Hakari back, and the other girlfriends insisted on coming too.

• Mansion infiltration and Hahari's confession (Episode 10)

  The Rentaro Family slipped into the Hanazono mansion to take Hakari back. Nano cracked a nail flicking stones to open a pet door, Shizuka stayed behind alone with the guard dog, and Kusuri supplied a sleeping drug and infrared eye drops, even giving up her research-team application due that day. Rentaro and Karane braced against the walls to cross the sensor corridor and reached Hakari's room, but opening the door set off an alarm, and they were surrounded by Hahari and her guards.

  Hahari explained that she had Hakari at thirteen by artificial insemination to leave proof of her terminally ill lover's life and raised her alone, and that she wants to spare her daughter the regret she has lived with. When Rentaro wept and vowed to stake his life on Hakari's happiness, his tears washed out the eye drops and their eyes met, and Hahari, feeling love for the first time in about sixteen years since losing her lover, asked him to be her boyfriend.

• Hakari's window rescue and Hahari's blessing (Episode 11)

  A custom lie detector confirmed Rentaro's sincere declarations of love for Hakari, but Hahari refused to trust it. Then Hakari tried to jump from her bedroom window. Karane held Hahari back while Rentaro reached Hakari, told her no life could be unhappier than one without her, and asked her to stay with him forever, which she accepted. When she slipped from the ledge, Rentaro held on and fell with her into the water, and the girls pulled them out.

  Having seen Rentaro risk his life for Hakari, Hahari entrusted her daughter to him. Rentaro, realizing everything Hahari did was for Hakari, promised to make Hahari happy as well, and when she asked whether that was his answer to her confession, he said yes, making her his sixth girlfriend.

• Failed peeping and Hahari's confession (Episode 12)

  At the sleepover Hahari, Hakari, Kusuri, Karane, and Nano tried to peep on Rentaro's bath, tying up Shizuka when she objected. Steam blocked the view, a furry creature in the ceiling passage they took for a mouse turned out to be the mansion's cat, and Shizuka tumbled into the bathroom, so they were caught and lectured.

  Hahari later admitted at the family altar that she still loved her late lover, Hakari's father, and felt guilty for falling for Rentaro. Rentaro told her two true loves can coexist and she need not forget him, and Hahari shared her first kiss with him.

• Hakari's father passes on and Hahari becomes chairwoman (Episode 12)

  The ghost of Hakari's father appeared to Rentaro and accused him of taking both women away. After Rentaro promised to make them both happy and thanked him for bringing Hakari into the world and for giving Hahari happy times, the father's lingering regrets vanished and he passed on.

World Memo

• One hundred destined partners

  A destined partner is the best romantic match fixed at a person's birth, and most people have only one. Because Kami-sama, the god of love, made a mistake at Rentaro's birth, Rentaro is destined to meet one hundred of them in high school.

• The meeting shock

  When destined partners first meet, a jolt runs through their bodies and they fall for each other. The woman falls in love on the spot, while the man's feelings grow little by little.

• Death without happiness

  A person who meets their destined partner can be happy by loving them, but if that fails, one thing or another leads to their death, because meeting a destined partner uses up a lifetime's luck. That is why Rentaro dates every destined partner instead of choosing one.

• Kusuri's drugs

  Kusuri, the chemistry club president, invents drugs with extreme effects, such as a magnetizing drug, a love potion, a drug that makes you sweat clothes-dissolving sweat, a drug that gives you rabbit features, a hair-controlling drug, and a drug that burns the skin on contact. Her kiss-urge drug turned the girls into kiss zombies in episodes 7 and 8. She can also make a counteracting drug that cancels their effects. For the mansion infiltration she produced a sleeping drug that knocks out any creature instantly and eye drops that show only infrared light.

• Kusuri's two forms

  Because of a failed immortality drug, Kusuri usually has the body of a small child. Taking the counteracting drug restores her true third-year form, but only for tens of minutes.

• The Rentaro Family

  The name Rentaro gave himself and his girlfriends at the flower park bouquet toss, after writing 'family' on a towel as their banner. They began the mansion infiltration with the call 'Rentaro Family, mission start'. With Hahari, the family now has seven members.

• The Hanazono family

  Hakari's family is extremely wealthy and lives in a mansion with a fountain in its garden. The mansion is guarded by security staff, a guard dog, infrared sensors in the corridors, and an alarm on Hakari's door. Hahari even had a lie detector custom-built to expose the slightest lie. Hahari has now bought Rentaro's school and become chair of its board.

Clue Board

• Nano AI rumor (Episode 5)

  A rumor says Nano's extraordinary accuracy and efficiency come from her being an AI, and nothing has confirmed or denied it. In episode 10 she unlocked a pet door with pinpoint stone flicks, which Karane called the work of an android.

• Remaining destined partners (Episode 11)

  With Hahari as his sixth girlfriend, ninety-four of the hundred destined partners Kami-sama promised are still to come. Who they are and when they will appear is unknown.

• Shizuka and her mother (Episode 3)

  A flashback showed Shizuka's mother scolding her for speaking through books instead of talking like other children. How things stand between them now has not been shown.

• Ghost encounter (Episode 12)

  In the night Rentaro met the ghost of Hakari's father, who passed on once his regrets vanished. Rentaro woke wondering if it had been a dream, and whether the encounter was real is left open.
