I think people have this weird idea that people can only ever date or kiss their soulmates, which is just not how the setting works as presented.

The repeated implication seems to be that they are also soulmates with each other.

Also hakari's mother has two soulmates

It helps this is a series without any real overarching plot, or any need for a core group; they can just pull in whoever they need for this week's story and they're sorted. They don't even need Rentaro for some stories; the girls are more than capable of carrying things on their own. (That's not saying he's unnecessary, just that he's not the center of everything.) Not anywhere close to that point in the anime, though.

A side-effect of the girls staying relevant has been that as the count's gone up, the time between girlfriends has too - right now, at 26, we're at one new girlfriend per volume, which means there'll likely be one more before the year's out.

gently caress knows what things are going to look like once we hit the 50s, let alone the 90s.

I made some charts as I was reading the manga:



I tried to do some basic calculation on how much longer it would take to get to 100 and it's like 6-7 years.

I'm guessing it might start to get multiples at once.
