One new girlfriend shakes up the entire family, while another faces her biggest challenge yet. Season 3 Episode 2 blends nonstop comedy with heartfelt moments as Chiyo discovers what truly makes Rentaro's unusual family special.
The episode 2 of The 100 Girlfriends Season 3 starts with Rentaro officially introducing Chiyo Iin as his newest girlfriend. He politely asks everyone for permission to welcome her into the family, and Chiyo nervously introduces herself as a first-year middle school student and Rentaro's cousin. Her introduction immediately shocks the others, who can't believe Rentaro has added another girlfriend with such an unexpected family connection. Despite the surprise, the group quickly welcomes her with warm smiles, making it clear that every new member is accepted without hesitation.
Before Chiyo has much time to relax, her strict personality takes over. The moment she notices Hakari's short skirt, she rushes over and insists on fixing it because it looks improper. Hakari panics as Chiyo adjusts her uniform, complaining that she won't be able to use her charm around Rentaro if her outfit changes. Chiyo, however, refuses to listen because keeping everything neat is far more important to her than fashion.
Her obsession with order doesn't stop there. She notices loose ribbons, oversized socks, eyelash extensions, long bangs, hair clips, and messy hairstyles across the group. One after another, she attempts to correct every detail she considers untidy. Some girls desperately try to escape, while others argue that their appearance is perfectly fine. The frantic chase turns into complete chaos as everyone runs around the room trying to avoid Chiyo's relentless attempts to fix them.
Nano enters the situation with her usual calm logic when she offers part of her lunch after someone mistakes Chiyo's repeated complaints for hot dog. She explains that she's already full and eating more would be pointless, but Chiyo immediately criticizes her for wasting food and reminds her to respect the life that was sacrificed. Nano counters with cold scientific reasoning, dismissing ideas like heaven, only for the conversation to take another absurd turn when someone presents what appear to be angels, leaving Nano completely speechless for once.
The confusion continues when Chiyo confiscates Kusuri's collection of suspicious medicines because she believes they're dangerous. Kusuri instantly begins acting as though she's suffering from withdrawal, desperately begging for her drugs back while everyone scrambles to calm her down. Even Mei isn't spared from Chiyo's criticism after she notices the maid driving with her eyes closed, immediately pointing out that the habit is illegal and dangerous. Every person Chiyo encounters seems to have another habit she feels compelled to correct.
Things become even stranger when Iku suggests a bizarre game involving bats, and Hahari willingly participates after hearing it might help Mei open her eyes. The ridiculous contest escalates into repeated swings, loud reactions, and enthusiastic encouragement, leaving Chiyo horrified as she watches everyone enjoy something she considers completely unreasonable. Even Rentaro isn't spared when she accuses him of being wrong for dating so many girls at once. Rentaro honestly answers that he loves every one of them too much to choose only one, but Chiyo has absolutely no idea how she could ever fix a situation like that.
Watching everyone continue their strange behavior at the same time completely overwhelms Chiyo. One girl wants someone to cut her into pieces, another begs for a wiener, another demands drugs, while someone else keeps trying to force open closed eyes. The overwhelming mix of bizarre conversations, strange habits, and nonstop shouting convinces Chiyo that everything has fallen into complete disorder. As she looks around, she begins questioning whether trying to force everyone to change has only created even greater chaos than before.
Chiyo finally reaches her limit and breaks down, believing she has created a scene straight out of hell. Looking around, she declares that everyone in the group is completely messed up. However, as soon as she loses her glasses and starts crying, every member immediately stops what they are doing to comfort her. They help her search for the glasses, check whether she's hurt, and reassure her until she calms down. One of the girls explains that Chiyo becomes especially anxious without her glasses, revealing a much more vulnerable side of the normally strict newcomer.
As Chiyo watches everyone rush to help her, her opinion slowly changes. Moments earlier they looked like a collection of hopeless troublemakers, but now she realizes they genuinely care about one another. Even though their personalities are unusual and their behavior often appears chaotic, every action comes from kindness. Chiyo apologizes from the bottom of her heart, admitting there was never anything truly wrong with them. Instead, she realizes she judged everyone before taking the time to understand them and concludes that she was the one acting out of line.
Hakari decides to prove Chiyo's realization by kissing Rentaro in front of her. Chiyo is immediately shocked because the action seems completely improper from her point of view. Hakari calmly explains that this is simply how the Rentaro Family expresses love, and that everyone is genuinely happy living this way. Karane reluctantly agrees before joining Rentaro as well, showing that despite all their arguments and embarrassment, they all share the same feelings. Watching their smiles makes Chiyo realize that what looked wrong at first actually brings everyone happiness.
Inspired by what she has witnessed, Chiyo shyly asks Rentaro if she can kiss him too because she wants to understand this family's way of loving one another. Rentaro accepts, and after the kiss Chiyo admits there was never anything wrong with either the kiss or the people around her. Rentaro jokingly comments that the entire family really is a mess, but since Chiyo has accepted them anyway, everything works out. The others happily welcome her as an official member of the Rentaro Family, and Chiyo gratefully accepts her new place among them.
The episode then shifts focus to Meme and Mimimi as they head toward the school rooftop. Mimimi continues attracting attention everywhere she goes and confidently states that people naturally admire her beauty. Meme, who constantly hides behind her long bangs, admits she could never be as comfortable with attention as Mimimi is. Their conversation is interrupted by Toruru, the editor-in-chief of the school newspaper, who eagerly announces that she wants to feature Meme in the next issue because the mysterious girl whose eyes are always hidden has become fascinating material for a story.
Toruru proudly reveals that she even trained herself to improve her photography skills so she could finally capture Meme's face. Despite all her effort, Meme's incredible ability to disappear from sight prevents the reporter from getting a proper picture. Even so, Toruru refuses to give up and publishes an article about the mysterious student anyway. Rentaro later learns about the article and is furious that Meme's privacy has been violated without permission. He even gathers nearly every printed copy of the newspaper to stop it from spreading further before confronting the newspaper club.
Before Rentaro can act, Hahari steps in as the chairwoman of the school board and calls Toruru into her office. She firmly explains that publishing private information about students without their consent is unacceptable and warns that another incident could suspend the entire newspaper. Toruru quickly fights back by presenting photographs that could also embarrass Hahari and the other students if released publicly. The unexpected counterattack leaves Hahari speechless and unable to continue pressuring the reporter.
Realizing the situation has become more complicated than expected, Rentaro and the rest of the girlfriends promise to protect Meme together. Everyone volunteers in their own unique way, whether by standing in front of cameras, shielding her physically, or confronting anyone who tries to invade her privacy. Although Meme appreciates everyone's kindness, she feels guilty about causing so much trouble for them and wonders if she should simply accept having her picture taken instead.
Instead of giving up, Meme decides she should become better at avoiding cameras through training. The group immediately supports her determination, but Toruru proves surprisingly persistent. No matter how quickly Meme escapes or where she hides, the reporter continues chasing after her with incredible determination. Even with everyone's help, Meme struggles to improve and eventually loses confidence, believing she'll never become skilled enough to avoid the camera forever.
At that moment, Mimimi steps forward with an unexpected lesson. Wearing an outfit that Meme knitted herself, she asks what Meme thinks of her appearance. When Meme shyly admits that Mimimi looks beautiful, Mimimi reminds her that the outfit is beautiful because Meme created it. She tells Meme that someone capable of making another person look that stunning possesses far more talent than she realizes. Her heartfelt encouragement gives Meme the confidence she has been missing and helps her believe in herself again.
Renewed by her friends' faith, Meme puts the plan into action when Toruru appears once again. While Mimimi naturally attracts everyone's attention with her overwhelming beauty, Meme quietly slips out of sight. Toruru repeatedly attempts to photograph Meme using every trick she can think of, but every picture ends up focusing on Mimimi instead. Despite standing right in front of the reporter several times, Meme successfully diverts all attention away from herself through perfect misdirection.
The episode ends with Toruru finally admitting defeat for the day after failing to capture Meme's face. She decides to use the beautiful photographs of Mimimi instead, while everyone celebrates Meme's success. Rentaro explains that misdirection works by directing people's attention toward something even more eye-catching, making Mimimi the perfect partner for Meme's strategy. Mimimi proudly names the technique Misdirection Beauty Flow, but the celebration takes another funny turn when she unexpectedly realizes just how naturally beautiful Meme really is. Overwhelmed by the discovery, Mimimi excitedly chases after the embarrassed Meme, asking her to reveal the secret behind her beauty as Meme disappears once again.
Episode Verdict
Season 3 Episode 2 delivers a great balance of outrageous comedy and surprisingly heartfelt character growth. Chiyo's journey from judging the Rentaro Family to accepting their unusual way of expressing love gives the first half genuine emotional weight, while the second half shines by focusing on Meme's confidence and the creative teamwork between her and Mimimi. The episode never loses its fast-paced humor, but its strongest moments come from showing that acceptance, trust, and believing in your friends matter far more than appearing normal.
