The latest episode of The 100 Girlfriends Who Really, Really, Really, Really, Really Love You brought a new member to Rentaro’s growing family. Season 3 Episode 2, which released on July 12, 2026, focuses on Chiyo Iin officially joining the group. But her arrival does not go as smoothly as anyone expected. The episode delivers plenty of laughs, awkward moments, and a heartfelt resolution that shows what this anime does best — mixing absurd comedy with genuine emotion.
The episode, also known as Kimi no Koto ga Daidaidaidaidaisuki na 100-nin no Kanojo Season 3 Episode 2, continues the story right after the premiere. Fans have been waiting to see how the other girlfriends would react to Rentaro’s cousin becoming his latest soulmate. The answer turns out to be a wild mix of acceptance, confusion, and total chaos.
Chiyo’s Big Introduction to the Rentaro Family
Rentaro brings Chiyo Iin to meet the rest of his girlfriends in this episode. Chiyo is a first-year middle school student who also happens to be Rentaro’s cousin. She has a serious personality and loves keeping things in order. As the class representative of her school, she takes rules very seriously.
When Chiyo meets the other girlfriends, their reactions are all over the place. Hahari welcomes her with open arms and gets a little too excited about the whole situation. Karane, on the other hand, completely loses it. She asks Rentaro if this is really going to be accepted. Rentaro breaks the fourth wall and says it is probably fine since the last episode aired without any problems. He even jokes that it does not matter if the Broadcasting Ethics and Program Improvement Organization gets involved.
The anime production committee gets shown in the episode as not wanting anything to do with that organization, which adds another layer of self-aware humor.
Chiyo Tries to Fix Everyone — And Fails
Chiyo quickly adapts to her new life with Rentaro’s family, but she cannot handle the lack of order she sees around her. She starts changing how everyone dresses, acts, and behaves without asking for permission.
First, she changes Hakari’s outfit. Then she fixes how Karane wears her socks and how Meme draws her fake eyebrows. She comments on Kurumi’s eating habits when someone tries to hand her a snack. She even grabs Kusuri’s strange collection of medicines. Mei becomes her next target after her shocking behavior gets caught on camera.
Chiyo’s effort to improve everyone ends up ruining the household. Hahari and Iku get tied up dealing with each other’s competitive nature. The whole experience turns into a complete failure. Everyone ends up frustrated, and Chiyo’s logic does not work out the way she hoped.
Rentaro tries to talk to Chiyo and asks her why she cannot just accept people for who they are instead of trying to change them. He speaks to her in a calm tone, but the damage has already been done.
Chiyo Breaks Down — Then Finds Her Place
Chiyo gets so upset after losing her glasses that she cries, thinking she ruined everything. But instead of getting angry at her, the family comes to comfort her. This kindness finally reaches Chiyo, and she apologizes to everyone. She says she only wanted to help and be accepted.
Hakari kisses Rentaro in front of the family and explains that they just do whatever makes them happy, regardless of the rules. Karane follows her example and kisses Rentaro too. Then all the other girls do the same. Chiyo asks for a kiss herself, showing her romantic feelings for Rentaro in a dramatic way.
The girlfriends officially welcome Chiyo into the Rentaro family after this moment. The episode shows that even when things get chaotic, the family always finds a way to come together.
“Oh, Chiyo’s reactions to Rentarou’s girlfriends is hilaroius. Not surprising but still pretty amusing.”
“Rentaro collecting lolis like they’re pokemon now, Chiyo stood no chance aganist this unhinged group but they’re still so sweet to each other!”
Meme Becomes the Photographer’s Target
The second half of the episode shifts focus to Meme. A photographer named Toruru from the school newspaper wants to capture a picture of Meme because she is a mysterious beauty who always tries to hide herself. Meme’s eyes are almost never visible, which makes her a fascinating subject for the photographer.
Toruru keeps failing to get a clear shot of Meme’s face without her eyes appearing in the image. Hakari wants to help, but Toruru has damaging evidence about the Rentaro family and uses it to blackmail Hahari into silence.
Rentaro and the other girlfriends step in to help Meme learn how to avoid cameras. Mimimi appears to motivate Meme, telling her that she is beautiful and talented. Meme comes up with a plan to train herself so she can evade the camera just like Toruru trained to capture her.

What Happened in the Season Premiere
Season 3 Episode 1 started with a series of street interviews that jumped ahead in the timeline. News reporters asked various girls questions that revealed new quirks related to Rentaro. The God of Love orchestrated this plot device as a form of self-irony for the anime while introducing old characters and teasing new love interests.
After the interviews, Rentaro gave an emotional speech to support his partners. He then went to visit his uncle Hiro, the same uncle he saved when he was younger. During this visit, Rentaro met his cousin Chiyo, a middle schooler overwhelmed by the pressure of keeping everything together. Rentaro noticed her tiredness and told her she did not have to do everything by herself.
At the end of the episode, Uncle Hiro revealed that he arranged the meeting for matchmaking purposes. Chiyo realized she liked Rentaro but felt hesitant to share her feelings. Rentaro did not let her confess in a way that felt forced and insisted that she tell him her feelings herself.
Episode 2 picks up from this moment and shows Chiyo officially joining the family.
New Characters Bring Fresh Energy to Season 3
Season 3 introduces two new girlfriends to the series — Chiyo Iin and Naddy. Chiyo is Rentaro’s cousin and a responsible class representative. Naddy is an energetic and free-spirited Japanese language teacher with American roots. The season carries the catchphrase “Daisuki ∞ Infinity”.
The voice actresses for these new characters were revealed during the AnimeJapan 2026 event. The teaser video released before the season premiere featured the first voices of both new heroines.
Fans have been excited about these additions to the cast. The show continues to balance its large roster of characters while introducing new dynamics and comedic situations.
