A Look Back at the Phenomenon: From Manga to Screen
The 100 Girlfriends Who Really, Really, Really, Really, Really Love You (Kimi no Koto ga Dai Dai Dai Dai Daisuki na 100-nin no Kanojo) originated as a romantic comedy harem manga written by Rikito Nakamura and illustrated by Yukiko Nozawa. It began serialization in Shueisha’s Weekly Young Jump magazine in December 2019 and has since amassed 23 tankōbon volumes as of September 2025, with a 24th volume slated for December 2025.
The anime adaptation quickly garnered a dedicated fanbase for its unique premise and rapid-fire comedy. The story revolves around high school student Rentaro Aijo, who, after facing 100 consecutive rejections in middle school, visits a shrine to pray for better luck. The God of Love appears and reveals a divine error: Rentaro is destined to meet 100 soulmates. However, there’s a significant catch: if Rentaro fails to return the feelings of any of his destined soulmates, they will die in horrible accidents. To prevent this grim fate, Rentaro resolves to date all 100 girls simultaneously, leading to an escalating series of absurd and heartwarming romantic entanglements.
The first season of the anime premiered in October 2023, with Crunchyroll streaming the series globally with subtitles and an English dub. It ran for 12 episodes, concluding in December 2023. The highly anticipated second season then debuted on January 12, 2025, continuing Rentaro’s quest to welcome more soulmates into his ever-expanding family.
Record-Breaking Hilarity
Beyond its engaging plot, the anime adaptation has also achieved a notable distinction: it holds a Guinness World Record. The series was certified for featuring the “Longest Speech in Japanese Animation,” with a staggering 7,453 words spoken by the protagonist, Rentaro Aijo. This recognition highlights the anime’s commitment to its unique brand of over-the-top humor and character development.
As the franchise continues to expand, fans eagerly await what new girlfriends and comedic situations will unfold in The 100 Girlfriends Who Really, Really, Really, Really, Really Love You Season 3 in 2026.
