The chaotic harem comedy ‘The 100 Girlfriends Who Really, Really, Really, Really, Really Love You’ (also known as Hyakkano) continues its third season with another soulmate joining Rentaro’s ever-growing family. Episode 6, which aired on August 9, 2026, introduces Momiji Momi, a junior high school student with exceptional massage skills and an unusual obsession with touching things.
The episode follows the show’s signature formula — bizarre humour, constant fourth-wall breaks, and plenty of fan service — as Rentaro Aijo meets his newest destined partner. Momiji’s arrival brings a fresh dynamic to the group, and her unique abilities quickly make her a memorable addition to the series.
Rentaro Meets the Mysterious Masseuse
At the start of Episode 6, Rentaro investigates a rumour about a girl who provides exceptional treatments. He finds her in a sports club, where the athletes appear drained after her work. Amid the disorder, Rentaro notices a girl who remains engaged and calm. When their eyes meet, he feels a flash of recognition.
The girl introduces herself as Momiji Momi. She is a junior high school student who works as a masseuse. Momiji proposes to massage Rentaro, curious about why his body is so tense. Rentaro explains that the responsibility of caring for all his girlfriends wears him out. This knowledge intensifies Momiji’s interest in his life.
As they continue talking, Momiji starts to realise that her feelings for Rentaro go beyond professional curiosity. She has never experienced such emotions while working with other clients, and this realisation surprises her.
Momiji’s Massage Skills Take Centre Stage
Momiji’s character stands out because of her unusual ability and personality. She is a middle school student with a touch fetish. Her massage skills are exceptional, and she uses them to relieve tension and help people concentrate.
After being embraced by the group, Momiji quickly starts giving massages to the other girlfriends. The reactions vary — some fully relax, others feel embarrassed, and some confess to pain points they had ignored for a while. This scene provides an opportunity to showcase nearly all the characters introduced in the season so far.
Momiji also asks for a different type of compensation. She wants permission to touch all the tender parts of the girls’ bodies as a way of saying thank you. The girls agree, leading to a sequence where Momiji explores different body parts of her friends. It is one of the busiest ensemble scenes the episode has to offer.
A Surprisingly Meta Visit to the Manga Studio
One of the episode’s stranger detours involves Rentaro meeting the people who created the show itself. He questions the characters who appear around him and helps them improve the art that he messed up himself. This moment reflects the show’s long-term habit of acknowledging its own existence.
The visit leads to a tribute to the creator of the manga, who gets thanked by the cast in the anime. This is not a serious moment and adds an even deeper sense of self-reference to the show. Fans of the manga will appreciate this nod to the source material.
New Heroine Visual and Cast Details
Following the broadcast of Episode 6, the official X (formerly Twitter) account for the anime revealed a brand-new heroine visual for Momiji Momi. The visual shows Momiji enjoying the summer and highlights her character design.
Aoi Koga voices Momiji Momi. Koga is known for her role as Kaguya in ‘Kaguya-sama: Love Is War’ . The voice actress was announced earlier in July, along with Hana Tamegai as Yamame Yasashiki, another new girlfriend introduced in Episode 5.
The production team for Season 3 includes Hikaru Sato as director, Takashi Aoshima on series composition, and Akane Yano handling character designs. Bilbury Animation Studios is handling the animation production.

The Growing Rentaro Family
‘The 100 Girlfriends’ follows Rentaro Aijo, a high school student who was rejected 100 times in middle school. The God of Love appears and promises that he will meet 100 people he is destined to date. However, there is a catch — once destiny introduces someone to him, the two must happily love each other. If they do not, they will die.
The series has introduced many unique girlfriends across its three seasons. Season 3 has already added Yamame Yasashiki (voiced by Hana Tamegai) in Episode 5 and now Momiji Momi in Episode 6. Another new character, Kishika Torotoro, a karate club leader, has also been alluded to in the season opening and is expected to appear in future episodes.
Episode Reception and Fan Response
The episode has been well-received by fans of the series. The show’s blend of over-the-top humour, romantic comedy, and self-referential jokes continues to resonate with its audience. One review noted that the series’ greatest strength is not simply how over-the-top it can be, but how it balances absurdity with genuine character moments.
The introduction of Momiji adds another layer to the chaotic family dynamic. Her massage skills and touch fetish provide plenty of comedic opportunities, while her growing feelings for Rentaro add emotional depth to her character.
