Episode Summary

The Holy War of Love and Soul

At a flower park bouquet toss, the girls team up for the wedding-dress photo that is Hakari's childhood dream, and Rentaro names the group the Rentaro Family. Karane takes on a biker gang leader, Shizuka is blown into the air and catches the bouquet, and after Hakari wins the drawing, everyone poses together.

Then Hakari asks Rentaro to break up and leaves. At her family's mansion he learns that her mother has discovered his multiple relationships and is moving Hakari away, and her mother threatens him while guards bar the gate. Rentaro resolves to take Hakari back, and Karane, Kusuri, Nano, and Shizuka all join him.

• The Rentaro Family

  At the flower park Hakari recommended, whoever catches the bouquet wins a wedding-dress photo with their partner, Hakari's childhood dream. The six agree to cooperate and draw lots for the photo afterward, and Rentaro writes 'family' on a towel as their banner, naming them the Rentaro Family.

• Gorilla Union and Shizuka's catch

  The leader of the Gorilla Union biker gang wants the photo with her boyfriend, and when the gang excuses its rough play as 'training', Karane declares herself a member and holds the leader back. The gang's wind lifts Shizuka, cheering nearby, into the air with her towel; she catches the bouquet but falls when she lets go, and Rentaro catches her.

• Drawing and group photo

  Hakari secretly marked the winning chopstick, but Nano's idea of everyone drawing at once spoils her plan, and Hakari wins anyway. She offers her place to the crying Kusuri, who declines because she would enjoy seeing the two people she loves together, and everyone takes the photo together.

• Hakari's sudden breakup

  Hakari thanks Rentaro, asks him to break up, and leaves in a waiting car. Using the address on an envelope she once sent him, Rentaro reaches her mansion, where Hakari tells him by phone that her mother found out about his relationships, took her phone, arranged a transfer, and is moving her tomorrow. Her mother threatens him, and the guards turn him away.

• Resolve to bring Hakari back

  Rentaro decides to sneak into the mansion and run away with Hakari, asking the others to wait for him. Karane, Kusuri, Nano, and Shizuka all insist on coming, and the Rentaro Family sets out together.

Recent Timeline

• Pool harassment and the lazy river rescue (Episode 6)

  Men harassed Hakari and Nano while they looked for help for the apparently unbreathing Rentaro, until Rentaro arrived and declared both girls his girlfriends, refusing to kiss them as proof, which drove the men off. Shizuka Yoshimoto drifted to an island in the lazy river and was brought back safely after Rentaro found her. Karane lost confidence in her swimsuit and withdrew, until Rentaro reassured her of her own appeal and she rejoined the group.

• Kusuri's drug, love potion, and kiss-urge crisis (Episode 7)

  Kusuri's new drug magnetized Rentaro's blood iron, binding him to her, and caused three days of severe constipation she only warned him about afterward. She admitted putting a love potion in his tea because she fell for him at first sight, and Rentaro answered with his own genuine feelings. She was revealed to be the chemistry club president he had glimpsed the day before, and her true form returned briefly after she swallowed antidote while giving it to him. When the teas were switched, four girlfriends drank a drug causing an irresistible urge to kiss a loved one and gained extraordinary physical ability. Kusuri warned the effect would become permanent within under an hour without the antidote, and Rentaro resolved to deliver it in time.

• Kiss-zombie chase and cure (Episode 8)

  Hakari, Karane, Shizuka Yoshimoto, and Nano became kiss zombies, and Rentaro and Kusuri ran for the chemistry lab to make the counteracting drug while evading them. Kusuri was caught and tied up by Nano, but Rentaro drew Nano away until Kusuri's body shrank back and slipped free of the rope; she cured Nano and then the other three. Nano and Shizuka remembered everything and apologized, while Hakari and Karane claimed to remember nothing.

• Bouquet toss and the Rentaro Family (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.

• Hakari's forced separation (Episode 9)

  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.

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.

• 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.

• The Hanazono family

  Hakari's family is extremely wealthy and lives in a mansion with a fountain in its garden, watched by security guards. Her mother bends everything to her will with money, confiscating Hakari's phone, arranging her school transfer, and setting her move for the very next day.

Clue Board
