## Synopsis

The 100 Girlfriends Who Really, Really, Really, Really, REALLY Love You (2023) is a Japanese seinen animated romantic comedy series created for TOKYO MX, adapted from the manga and produced by Bibury Animation Studios. Rentaro Aijo (voiced by Wataru Katoh), a boy rejected one hundred times in middle school, prays at a shrine for better luck and receives a bargain from the God of Love (Shigeru Chiba): one hundred people destined to date him will arrive, and each must be made to love him or die. Principal love interests include Hakari Hanazono (Kaede Hondo), Karane Inda (Miyu Tomita) and Shizuka Yoshimoto (Maria Naganawa), whose voice actors anchor the ensemble. The engine of the series is the escalating romantic bookkeeping of the premise, with each new suitor complicating Rentaro's life at a high school where rivals, jealousy and absurd situations pile up episode by episode. The single season runs thirty-six episodes of roughly twenty-three minutes, a serialized but gag-driven shape built around the growing harem. Its tone is breezy and self-aware, with the show openly breaking the fourth wall to comment on its own conventions. Fans of Rent-a-Girlfriend, Kaguya-sama: Love Is War and Love Is War will find the same blend of harem excess and romantic farce here.
