The 100 Girlfriends Who Really, Really, Really, Really, Really Love You Season 2: A Rom-Com Rollercoaster Continues

The wildly unique and hilariously chaotic romantic comedy anime The 100 Girlfriends Who Really, Really, Really, Really, Really Love You (also known as Kimi no koto ga Dai Dai Dai Dai Daisuki na 100-nin no Kanojo or Hyakkano) returned for its highly anticipated second season on January 12, 2025, as part of the Winter 2025 anime lineup. Based on the manga by Rikito Nakamura and Yukiko Nozawa, this harem anime, produced by Bibury Animation Studios, continues to redefine the genre with its bold embrace of polyamory, absurd humor, and heartfelt character moments. With Season 1 leaving fans enamored with Rentarou Aijou’s quest to love 100 soulmates, Season 2 dives deeper into the “Rentarou Family” with new girlfriends, wacky antics, and a surprising amount of wholesomeness. Here’s everything you need to know about The 100 Girlfriends Season 2 and why it’s a must-watch for rom-com fans.

A Recap of Season 1’s Charm

Before diving into Season 2, let’s revisit the premise that made The 100 Girlfriends a standout in Fall 2023. Rentarou Aijou, a high school student rejected 100 times in middle school, prays at a shrine for better luck in love. The God of Love appears, revealing that due to a cosmic error, Rentarou is destined to have 100 soulmates. The catch? If he doesn’t return their love, each girl faces a tragic fate. Unlike traditional harem anime where the protagonist picks one love interest, Rentarou commits to loving all his soulmates equally, forming the polyamorous “Rentarou Family.”

Season 1 introduced six girlfriends—Hakari Hanazono, Karane Inda, Shizuka Yoshimoto, Nano Eiai, Kusuri Yakuzen, and Hahari Hanazono—each with distinct personalities and quirks. The season’s blend of fourth-wall-breaking humor, absurd scenarios (like body-swapping drugs and ghost-channel adventures), and genuine emotional depth won over fans. It covered 22 chapters of the manga, ending with a tease of more soulmates to come, setting the stage for Season 2’s expansion of Rentarou’s ever-growing harem.

What’s New in Season 2?

Season 2, which aired from January 12 to March 30, 2025, continues Rentarou’s quest to meet and love his remaining 94 soulmates, with the season focusing on introducing at least five new girlfriends. Based on credible leaks and official announcements, the season spans 12 episodes in a single cour, maintaining the high-energy pacing and vibrant animation of its predecessor. Directed by Hikaru Sato, with scripts by Takashi Aoshima, character designs by Akane Yano, and music by eba, Shuhei Mutsuki, and Shunsuke Takizawa, Season 2 delivers the same visual flair and comedic timing that made Season 1 a hit.

New Girlfriends Steal the Spotlight

The core of Season 2’s appeal lies in its new characters, each embodying unique anime archetypes with fresh twists. The season introduces:

• Kurumi Haraga (voiced by Amane Shindo): A food-obsessed girl who gets “hangry” when hungry. Her introduction in Episode 1 involves a body-swapping fiasco, and Episode 2’s food-eating contest highlights her bottomless appetite and growth in trusting others, culminating in a heartfelt first kiss with Rentarou.
• Mei Meido (voiced by Suzuko Mimori): The loyal maid of the Hanazono family, introduced in Season 1 but confirmed as Rentarou’s eighth girlfriend in Episode 3. Her mysterious past and rainbow-colored eyes add intrigue, while her devotion brings both humor and warmth.
• Iku Suto (voiced by Rie Takahashi): A tomboyish athlete passionate about baseball, whose intense training scares off her team. Her dynamic energy promises comedic and romantic sparks.
• Mimimi Utsukushisugi (voiced by Lynn): The school’s most beautiful student, whose elegance hides a quirky personality. She’s a nod to the “ojō-sama” archetype with a unique twist.
• Meme Kakure (voiced by Kanon Takao): A shy girl reminiscent of Komi-san Can’t Communicate, her bangs and reserved nature make her a fan favorite for heartfelt moments.

These new additions join the returning cast, including Wataru Kato as Rentarou, Kaede Hondo as Hakari, Miyu Tomita as Karane, and others, ensuring a lively ensemble. The opening theme, “Arigato, Daisuki ni Natte Kurete” (“Thanks for Being So Lovable”), performed by the Rentarou Family voice actors, and the ending theme, “Unmei?” (“Fate?”), sung by the new cast members, capture the season’s colorful and upbeat vibe.

Plot Highlights and Wacky Adventures

Season 2 picks up where Season 1 left off, diving into absurd yet charming scenarios. Episode 1, “Her Name”, kicks off with a body-swapping incident caused by Kusuri’s experimental drug, complete with references to Your Name and other pop culture staples. Episode 2, “Begins! Heats Up! Concludes! Food Fight Festival”, centers on Kurumi’s character development during a chaotic eating contest, emphasizing teamwork and affection. Episode 3, “Can You See the Maid?”, introduces Mei Meido alongside a bizarre plot where the girlfriends (and Hahari) turn into babies due to another of Kusuri’s drugs, blending risqué humor with wholesome messages about family.

The season continues to break the fourth wall, with clever nods to anime like Castle in the Sky and even convenience store chains, all while maintaining high-quality animation and voice acting. Fans can expect more ridiculous yet smart plotlines, such as eating competitions, baby shenanigans, and Rentarou’s unwavering dedication to making each girlfriend feel loved. The manga’s faithful adaptation suggests Season 2 covers chapters beyond the first 22, likely introducing more soulmates and deepening existing relationships.

Why Season 2 Stands Out

The 100 Girlfriends Season 2 excels by leaning into its premise without restraint. Unlike traditional harem anime, where love interests compete, this series celebrates polyamory, giving each girlfriend distinct moments to shine and interact with one another. Rentarou’s genuine care for every girl—paired with his over-the-top problem-solving—makes him a surprisingly compelling protagonist. The show balances absurd humor (like baby transformations and food fights) with emotional depth, such as Hakari’s reconciliation with her mother or Kurumi learning to rely on others.

The new girlfriends add complexity to the Rentarou Family, each bringing fresh dynamics. Kurumi’s food obsession, Mei’s loyalty, Iku’s athleticism, Mimimi’s elegance, and Meme’s shyness ensure a variety of comedic and romantic scenarios. The series also pokes fun at anime tropes while delivering heartfelt messages about love and acceptance, making it both a parody and a sincere rom-com.

Where to Watch and What’s Next?

Season 2 is available for streaming on Crunchyroll outside Japan, with episodes released weekly on Sundays. In Japan, it airs on channels like Tokyo MX, Sun TV, and BS11, with digital distribution on ABEMA Premium and d Anime Store. The English dub, featuring talents like Travis Mullenix and Sarah Wiedenheft, began on January 26, 2025, adding accessibility for a wider audience.

With only 12 episodes, Season 2 covers a fraction of Rentarou’s 100-soulmate journey, leaving 89 girlfriends to meet. Posts on X and fan discussions, like those from @VincentSophuok, express excitement for the season’s climax, particularly Rentarou’s heartfelt speeches, and anticipation for a potential Season 3, though no confirmation has been announced as of July 2025. The manga, serialized in Weekly Young Jump with 22 volumes as of June 2025, offers plenty of material for future adaptations, and a mobile puzzle game and spin-off light novel add to the franchise’s growing media presence.

Final Thoughts

The 100 Girlfriends Who Really, Really, Really, Really, Really Love You Season 2 delivers everything fans loved about the first season—zany humor, heartfelt romance, and a refreshingly inclusive take on the harem genre. With new girlfriends like Kurumi and Mei, alongside returning favorites, the Rentarou Family’s adventures are as entertaining as ever. Whether you’re drawn to the absurd comedy, the colorful cast, or Rentarou’s unwavering devotion, Season 2 is a delightful continuation that proves this series is anything but a typical rom-com. Catch it on Crunchyroll and join the ride as Rentarou’s quest for 100 soulmates continues to charm and surprise.
