That's five really's (important)


ANN: Rentaro Aijo is a hopeless romantic – emphasis on "hopeless." Before starting high school, he'd already confessed his love to 100 different girls and was rejected every time. But a trip to a local shrine of the God of Love brings him good fortune, of a kind. Due to a clerical error in the heavens, Rentaro is guaranteed to find that special someone – 100 of them, to be precise. He is destined to have triple-digit soulmates, and it's up to him to find them all, cherish them all, and keep this Love Hectogon stable, lest disaster befall him and his many, many, many, many loves.

I like this manga a whole lot, it's very funny, silly, and irreverent while also clearly a labor of love for the artist/writer duo. To steal someone else's comparison it kind of feels like it has a similar relationship with harem romcoms that Gintama has with shounen action and therefore you can take it as seriously as that (so not very). One episode in so far the anime adaption has been great and has wasted no time inserting in humor that takes advantage of now being animated which bodes very well for what it will try to do in the future (or perhaps more interestingly will have to change).


It's on Crunchyroll on Sundays.

Remembering that I never liked the vice principal jokes
But then also remembering the payoff/solution at the end so it's all good

Rentarou not the only one with the two hands after all

I'd say Hakari should get some self-respect but her self-esteem is clearly already plenty high

In Hakari and Karane's case, it's based on their meeting Rentaro simultaneously, the idea being they established a soulmate connection with each other as well as Rentaro.

Also, the creators love putting in gags about how Hakari associates Karane with being her true love. Yeah, it may be a bit, but it's the kind of bit where you strongly suspect they're serious.
IMO it's pretty earnest

Anyway actually great episode, they managed to fit in little character arcs for everyone while also doing fully right by all the necessary pool episode tropes and highlights

For now I think it's fine, though if someone were to make one that'd obviously be fine. For me at least as much as I like the manga I never really felt to post about it regularly until there was an event big enough like the anime. Obviously people should just be like, cool about not spoiling who the actual future girlfriends are, and that'd be true whether there was a manga thread or not.

I remember most of the major beats from these early chapters but notably not Hakari's final line in this ep so I lost it a little bit when it hit.
