The Plot
Meet Aijo Rentaro, a guy who had no luck in his romantic life. Rejected by a hundred girls, he’s on his last straw. When he goes to a shrine to pray for a girlfriend, God tells him a cosmic error caused him to get rejected by all the women he asked out.
To make up for the error, God grants Aijo one hundred dates, but the catch? If he doesn’t reciprocate their feelings, “they’ll die in horrible accidents.” Cue the downpour of confessions as girls pour their hearts out to Aijo.
What’s the issue? He can’t choose between the girls and certainly doesn’t want anyone to die! As lightning strikes with every potential soulmate, Aijo wonders: can one person truly love a hundred others?
The 100 Girlfriends Who Really, Really, Really, Really, Really Love You is a funny, new, and entertaining addition to the otaku community. A new and exciting take on the harem genre, this manga stands out from the crowd in Jump’s lineup, delivering a humorous and hilarious read that’s made the manga an instant page-turner.
Female characters are a must in the harem genre, and The 100 Girlfriends Who Really, Really, Really, Really, Really Love You excels in this department. Each girlfriend has her uniqueness within the absurd premise, and we can’t wait to see how the anime will bring the girlfriends to life.
