What Happened in The 100 Girlfriends Season 3 Episode 1
Episode 1 of Season 3 is titled “My Cousin’s Girlfriend”. The episode begins with a chaotic street interview segment. An interviewer goes around asking young women about their relationships. She stumbles upon Rentaro’s girlfriends without realizing they all share the same boyfriend. Each girlfriend shares stories about Rentaro’s extreme displays of affection.
One girlfriend reveals that Rentaro carried her in his arms for an entire date after her heels broke. Another talks about how Rentaro memorized entire books and scribbled notes all over his body just to keep up with her reading habits. These stories show just how far Rentaro goes for the people he loves.
The Love God also makes an appearance. He breaks the fourth wall and argues with the production team about showing characters who haven’t been introduced yet. This self-aware humor is a signature element of the series.
Rentaro’s Cousin Joins the Harem
The episode then shifts to Rentaro visiting his uncle Hiro. His uncle asks him to take care of his daughter, Chiyo Iin, while he is away. Chiyo is a serious, bespectacled middle schooler who hates anything out of order. She struggles under the pressure to keep everything organized and perfect.
Rentaro immediately notices that Chiyo is exhausted. He reassures her that she does not have to do everything on her own. This moment shows Rentaro’s caring nature and his ability to see when someone is struggling.
By the end of the episode, it is revealed that Uncle Hiro set up the meeting on purpose. He wanted to get his daughter together with someone safe, even if that someone is her cousin. Chiyo struggles to express her feelings, but Rentaro tells her he will not accept a confession unless it comes from her heart. The episode ends with Chiyo making it clear that she is ready to be with him.
Fan Reactions to Episode 1
Fans have been sharing their thoughts on social media about the season premiere. Many viewers appreciated the introduction of Chiyo and the return of the show’s signature humor. One fan on Tumblr noted how the episode followed the classic anime trope of a schoolgirl running late with toast in her mouth, only to turn it into something completely different. The self-aware comedy and the new romantic dynamics have generated plenty of discussion among the anime community.
