Overview

Rentaro Aijo was rejected 100 times in middle school. He visits a shrine and prays for better luck in high school. The God of Love appears and promises that he'll soon meet 100 people he's destined to date. But there's a catch—once destiny introduces someone to him, the two must happily love each other. If they don't, they'll die. What will befall Rentaro and his 100 girlfriends in high school?

Critical Reception

What critics are saying

Score 85 /100

The 100 Girlfriends Who Really, Really, Really, Really, REALLY Love You is widely regarded by critics as a charming and effective subversion of standard harem anime tropes. By leaning heavily into satire and self-awareness, the series transforms a potentially tired premise into a hilarious and surprisingly heartfelt viewing experience that resonates with its audience.

Reviewers consistently praise the show's "inscrutable alchemy," noting that its willingness to embrace ridiculous situations and eccentric character dynamics is precisely what makes it work. Rather than sticking to traditional genre conventions, it successfully functions as a parody that is both funny and socially aware, establishing a unique identity that keeps viewers engaged.

“It all works to make something undeniably charming and funny—landing as the perfect finale to this season.”

“The 100 Girlfriends Who Really, Really, Really, Really, Really Love You knows its audience and pokes fun at everything about the harem genre.”

“Its more of a comedy and a parody than a true harem that we're used to. 100 Girlfriends is openly satirical and hilarious.”

Why fans love it

This 2023 animation leans heavily into the absurdist side of high school romance. After Rentaro Aijo experiences a century of rejection, a divine intervention sets him on a path where dating is not just a preference but a life-or-death requirement. The mechanics of the show rely on the promise that every destined bond brings a fatal consequence if the relationship fails, turning standard school life dynamics into a frantic sprint toward mutual affection.

Wataru Katoh leads a large ensemble cast that balances the frantic pace of the premise against the tropes of the romcom genre. By focusing on the sheer volume of partners, the series moves quickly past quiet flirtation into a chaotic landscape of synchronized dating. The tone remains committed to its own internal logic, treating the high-stakes ultimatum as a standard hurdle within the comedy format rather than a somber plot point.
