Chapter 1 / Episode 1

• The Establishing Series Moment: Rentarou tries to confess to a girl, her response?
  Asakawa: [in a sweet voice] You're so sweet, and kind to everyone, but... [in a sudden adult voice] For some reason, I feel like throwing up just imagining you as a lover. I'm sorry!
  Rentarou: (Crying like crazy) And now I'm the one who wants to throw up after hearing a response like that!!!
• The face Rentarou makes when moaning about the incident to his friend. According to the friend, Rentarou looks like a sick alpaca.
• When the friend asks Rentarou how many times has the latter been rejected, Rentarou asks why he would ask something like that when he just got rejected. The friend just felt like asking since it was their last day at school.
  Rentarou: And now all the days I've spent with you are ruined.
• Rentarou says he's been rejected 100 times, prompting the friend to say he should grant him the title of "Love Hero." After Rentarou says he was eight months old when he first confessed to someone, the friend says he should call him a monster instead.
• While wondering why Rentarou was rejected so much, the friend lists many of Rentarou's positive qualities, causing Rentarou to ask if the friend is into him or something.
• The friend assures Rentarou that his rejection streak is bound to grow even more in high school. Rentarou is so insulted over this that he calls him Anonymous Friend "A". Then again, given the series lacks a fourth wall...
• The God of Love admonishes Rentarou for repeating everything he says due to taking up so many panels, complete with near-identical art each time as Rentarou gets more intense in his repetition. Right away, we know this manga has No Fourth Wall.
  • In the anime, the God instead tells him that if his lines get cut due to how much episode one is adapting, people online will complain about it.
• After the God of Love tells Rentarou the latter will encounter 100 soulmates in high school, the God of Love's thoughts reveal this is because Rentarou poured all of his "love luck" into his fortune, which is why he had that huge rejection streak.
  • In the anime, this is skipped (quite literally) when a mouse clicks on a "skip" button, going straight to Rentarou asking if it'll be okay to burn down the shrine if the God of Love is lying, to the God of Love's horror.
    God of Love: (gasps) Some of my lines just got cut!
• Rentarou's skepticism towards the God of Love leads him to ask if he would mind if the shrine burned down.
  God of Love: I know it sounds suspicious, but how is it normal to threaten a god!? Damn this virtual generation!
• The story skips ahead to Rentarou's first day of high school so the readers don't have to wait.
• Rentarou has a Crash-Into Hello with two girls in the hall, both of whom trigger a ZING!! when he looks into their eyes, indicating they're his soulmates.
  • One of the girls flirtatiously acts like she hurt her leg and asks Rentarou to escort her to the nurse's office.
    Flower-haired girl: Owie... I'm sorry, but it seems like I hurt my leg. Could you... carry me all the way to the nurse's office...?
  • The other flusteredly follows suit.
    Twintail girl: As if I wanted you to carry me because I hurt my leg!!
  • Rentarou buys the charade and starts beating himself up. Literally. Both of the girls stand up to get Rentarou to stop, which he notices. They're immediately back to their legs being "hurt."
  • Helping both girls walk at the same time causes Rentarou to remark that he looks like the injured one.
• On the way to the nurse's office, the two girls, Hakari Hanazono and Karane Inda, try to introduce themselves simultaneously.
  Rentarou: Could you guys not talk over each other!?
• They then overhear two other girls talking about a school rumor that pink four-leaf clovers guarantee an accepted love confession, prompting the duo to run off in search of one.
  Hakari: I just remembered I have to take care of something.
  Karane: Me too.
  Rentarou: What about your legs!!!?
• In the anime, the typical shot announcing the end of the school day is suddenly replaced with another shot saying "And Four Hours After That", complete with a popping sound.
• Rentarou spends four hours after school helping a teacher search for his contact lenses, and he's shocked to see Hakari and Karane searching the school courtyard for pink four-leaf clovers after the same length of time. A text box points at Rentarou saying he did the same thing for contact lenses.
• Rentarou tries to get into the girls' good graces by buying each of them a can of juice.
  • When Rentarou assumes Karane was looking for a four-leaf clover, she claims she was actually looking for a place to relieve herself.
    Rentarou: Hiding your embarrassment just made this a whole lot worse. You okay?
    • Karane then says that Rentarou offering her a drink is so creepy that her stomach acid or something is going to flow backward, but she'll drink it so it won't go to waste.
      Rentarou: You're being so unreasonable that even I can tell you're forcing yourself!
    • Seeing Karane fight up gratitude for the juice leads Rentarou to identify her as a Tsundere.
    • After Karane thanks Rentarou for the juice, she runs off while saying, "Don't think I'm thankful for this!!" much to Rentarou's confusion.
  • Hakari tries to get an Indirect Kiss from Rentarou by claiming she can't finish the juice by herself and requesting he drink half of it for her. Rentarou says he thought this might happen, so he got a 190 ml can for her along with the 350 ml one. Hakari then claims that it's hard for her to finish the 190 ml can because it still has an extra 15 ml in it.
    Rentarou: Is 15 ml really that big of a deal!?
    • After Rentarou drinks a bit of the 190 ml can, Hakari tries to drink it, only to end up spilling it on herself. When the can slips from her grasp and spills all its contents on the ground, Hakari screams in despair as she falls to her knees while the puddle of juice has a winged halo flying away. The anime even plays Toccata and Fugue in D minor for the scene.
      Rentarou (sub): You loved the juice that much!!?
      Rentarou (dub): "Wow! I had no idea you were so thirsty!!?"
• Right after Hakari confesses to Rentarou, Karane returns to the courtyard and drops a bunch of cans in shock. When Rentarou asks about the drink cans...
  Karane: I-It's not like I wanted to give you something in return, but didn't know what flavor you preferred and ended up buying every single kind, got it!!?
  • Which, of course, tells Rentarou that she wanted to give him something in return, but didn't know what flavor he preferred and ended up buying every single kind.
• Karane then chastises Hakari for upstaging her before also confessing to Rentarou.
• Rentarou attempts to invoke a commercial break so he can decide which confession to accept.
  Karane: You wanna get your butt kicked!!?
  • This actually works in the anime since his statement is followed by the commerical break.
• At first, Rentarou is amused by the idea that a boy who racked up 100 rejections would find himself being forced to decide between confessions from two different girls. But in a matter of hours, he's left a whimpering mess as he can't decide which confession to accept, which prompts him to return to the shrine to ask the God of Love for advice.
• The God of Love informs Rentarou that people normally only have one soulmate, but a very important matter came up when Rentarou was born that caused the God of Love to accidentally add two extra digits to Rentarou's soulmate count, which is why Rentarou has 100 soulmates.
  • What was the important matter that came up? Castle in the Sky was playing on Kinyo Road Show. When Rentarou calls out the God of Love for watching TV while working, the latter tries to defend himself by claiming it was his first time watching it and it was during the part where the characters were debating whether they should chant "balse" or not. Rentarou acts like this is a perfectly understandable reason before Suddenly Shouting, "AS IF, MORON...!!!"
  • The anime resorts to Writing Around Trademarks for this scene, where it's called Fortress in the Sky, it's Balus instead of Balse, and the characters themselves are pixellated to the point of being unrecognizable. Instead of just accidentally adding two digits to Rentarou's soulmate count, the God of Love was giving the movie a 100 out of a 100, complete with a flower border. Rentarou asks why the God of Love put his score there, before pointing out if it's just one soulmate per person, why doesn't the God of Love just print that on the form, too? There's also text on the screen saying, "An easy task involving just putting down "1" on each sheet."
• Rentarou initially settles on secretly two-timing both girls. When he gives them his answer, he instead asks both of them out at the same time. It then cuts back to the moment when Rentarou first thought of secretly dating them, revealing he immediately beat himself up yet again for considering such an idea.
• Karane lays into Rentarou for believing in the pink clover superstition. Hakari points out she's going to end up taking the both of them down too (seeing as how they spent four hours the day before looking for them themselves). The anime features a boomerang flying in from off-screen which curves around and hits Hakari on the head. Hakari doesn't react at all even though the boomerang got embedded in her head.
• Karane thinks Rentarou was trying to fake sincerity by looking for pink four-leaf clovers, but Rentarou says he wasn't trying to deceive anyone. Hakari has to hold Karane back from taking a swing at him, telling her not to get carried away after the panel of her being smug.
• Hakari and Karane both get a nosebleed after Rentarou tells them he got the pink four-leaf clovers for them because he wanted to make them happy.
• Hakari quickly warms up to the idea of Rentarou dating both of them at the same time, and Karane resigns herself to going along with it as well. The chapter ends with a reminder that there are still 98 more girlfriends to meet.

Chapter 2 / Episode 2

• Rentarou is so excited to finally have a girlfriend that he talks about it to a telephone pole. In the anime, the pole actually starts sweating.
• The anime opening (introduced in Episode 2) has a lot of funny scenes.
  • Each of the girls is writing a love letter to Rentarou. Hakari, Karane, and Kusuri (in her older form) do it normally, while Shizuka is consulting a book and Nano is writing a complex equation on a whiteboard.
  • While Rentarou is stretching, he gets hit by 100 hearts that knock him onto the ground. He flinches and gets launched into the air in a choppy manner like an old fighting game, complete with a visible health bar.
  • As Hakari, Karane, and Nano head to school, Shizuka realizes that she's running late and tries to rush while Kusuri, now in her child form, is applying a chemical to her letter, only for it to explode.
  • Rentarou gets to school before the girls, only to realize that he forgot his backpack, so he rushes out of the school with enough force to create dust clouds. Along the way, he stops to pick up a small hair off Hakari's shoulder, catches Karane when she slips on a Banana Peel (with the peel landing on his head), helps Shizuka cross the street, carries Nano fast enough to keep up with a bus while Nano is calmly reading a book, and upon meeting Kusuri, who's covered in soot with messy hair and torn clothes, he cleans up her appearance. The banana peel is still on his head while he's helping Shizuka and Nano.
    • That Rentarou has to carry Nano at all suggests that for all her efficiency, she lost track of time and ended up missing the bus.
  • At school, Kusuri is nuzzling her face against a container that's labeled Premium Kusuri Oil. One of the ingredients is sildenafil citrate, the chemical name for Viagra.
  • When Rentarou opens his shoe locker, the girls' love letters to him spill out. Hakari's has a glamour photo of herself, Karane's is decorated with cats, Shizuka's is pretty normal, Nano's is written like an algebra equation, and Kusuri's is adorned with Pentarou and badly singed. Rentarou gets a love throb after reading them.
  • While Rentarou is headed to the roof, the door opens to reveal the Vice-Principal with an Overly-Long Tongue. She tries to grab Rentarou, only for him to smoothly sidestep around her.
  • After Rentarou meets up with the girls, they all proceed to feed him. While most of the girls offer him normal food, Kusuri gives him fish oil pills, a bottle of tablets, a canned drink (where he swallows the can), and one of her drugs. Near the end, Karane is giving him something while it's still in a wrapper while Nano offers her entire bento box. By the time he's eaten everything, Rentarou has a massive Balloon Belly.
• In the anime, Karane tries to tell Rentarou she'll talk to him if he ever wants to talk to someone, only to rapidly tap Rentarou's chest while saying, "Wacha-cha-cha-cha-cha! Y-You Are Already Dead, okay?!" Rentarou asks if she attacked his pressure points.
  • The English dub made the reference more blatant by having Karane utter the original Japanese phrase.
    Karane: Don't fight back! Omae wa mou shindeiru!
• Hakari holding Rentarou's hand causes her to describe the weather as "muscular and manly".
  • In the anime, Hakari imagines herself really excited as a ghostly afterimage of her floats above - and Karane sees the ghost.
• Karane holds Rentarou's hand under the pretext of shocking him if she gets zapped by static electricity.
  Rentarou: That'd make you a Biridere^note Biri refers to a zap sound, and reference from the series Toaru, not a Tsundere.^note The subtitles for the anime call her a "zingdere" instead.
• The trio start calling one another by their first names with and without honorifics, and by the time they get to school, their banter is mistaken for arguing. In the anime, their Sickeningly Sweethearts behavior causes both a telephone pole and the school building to sweatdrop.
• The girls tell Rentarou about the Vice-Principal of the school, who is giving a student a deep kiss as punishment for running in the halls. In the process, they discover that Rentarou has never kissed a girl before, meaning whoever kisses him first will get Rentarou's Sacred First Kiss.
• When Karane notices there's a cat on the school rooftop, she sprouts a cat's tail and ears.
• In the anime, after Rentarou calls Hakari and Karane's food the best in the galaxy, Karane asks, "How galaxy-brained are you?!"
• Karane keeps poking Rentarou in the eye with food when Hakari plays a variety of food games with Rentarou.
  Rentarou: (thinking) You got a grudge against my right eye or something...!!!?
• Rentarou sneezing as a result of Karane's hair brushing his nose causes the girls to pretend he's sick as an excuse to kiss him.
  • Before Karane can kiss Rentarou, Hakari knocks her away with her breasts.
  • Hakari claims that her household checks body temperature by kissing.^note Seeing what her mother is like when we meet her suggests that this line is Foreshadowing.
    Rentarou: I don't even think a hostess bar would get into some weird culture like that!!
  • Karane yanks Rentarou away before Hakari can kiss him and claims you have to do CPR to check his temperature. Then she orders Rentarou to faint.
• Rentarou quickly catches on to what the girls are trying to do, and he explains that he spent the previous night developing a convoluted game to blindly get a kiss from both girls without any of them knowing who was kissed first.
• When Karane points out how easy it is to cheat, Rentarou secures a "failsafe" via Pinky Swear, because he thinks breaking a pinky swear really will lead to a person getting a needle stuck in their eye and going blind.
  Karane: HOW PURE ARE YOU...!!?
  • During the ritual, Rentarou promises to take the needle in the eye if either of the girls break the promise.
• The game doesn't go as planned, as they keep screwing up in increasingly embarrassing ways.
  • Rentarou ends up groping Hakari's chest blindfolded, with a footnote popping up saying that how he figured out it was Hakari will be kept a secret to avoid embarrassing Karane. And Hakari is far less bothered by it than he is, saying he can go further.
  • The cat from before spots Karane's underwear and starts rubbing against her there. She thinks it's Rentarou and starts beating on him (starting with a kick to the crotch) before she takes off the blindfold and realizes who the actual culprit is. When Rentarou tells Hakari they have to start over, his face is seriously messed up while Karane is looking away in shame.
  • Some of the other failures include Hakari accidentally pulling down Rentarou's pants and underwear, and Karane performing a Kinniku Buster on him.
  • The anime adds some new scenes, like Hakari and Rentarou in a 69 position, Karane performing a German suplex on him while the cat watches, and Rentarou almost falling off the roof while Hakari and Karane pull him up.
• Rentarou decides to Take a Third Option by invoking the wrath of the Vice-Principal.
• The anime has Karane telling the Vice-Principal that kissing your students is against the law. Little does she know...
• The Vice-Principal is driven away by Hakari claiming an inspector is approaching. As she runs off, she mentions she needs the job to continue getting kisses from men at the host club. Then she runs into the boy she drenched earlier that day.
  Vice-Principal: Found one. (jumps)
  Male student: Not again!
• The trio ultimately decides to have a three-way kiss. (It was actually Rentarou's first idea, but he rejected it since the girls would kiss each other in the process.)
  • Rentarou's narration says the kiss looks like they're summoning a UFO.

Chapter 3 / Episode 3

• Rentarou and the girls visit the school library, with Hakari hoping to find some recipe books. Karane tries to get ahead on that front, but insists she isn't looking to create new dishes for Rentarou.
  • Rentarou tries to get them to stop fighting by reminding them that they'd already kissed each other.
• Rentarou thinks Girlfriend #3 is using the book to talk because they're in the library, so he tries to use sign language to tell her what he's looking for. This only confuses #3.
  #3: "Why do you not speak with your mouth?"
  Rentarou: You're one to talk!!!
• Despite how tiny she is, #3 gathers multiple stacks of books for Rentarou that probably weigh more than she does.
  Rentarou: (thinking) That's some dedication!!!
• Rentarou tries to check out ALL the books #3 collected for him, only to be told that he needs a library card, and he'll have to wait a week before he can get one.
• #3 lets Rentarou borrow her book, Circlet Love Story, before introducing herself as fellow classmate Shizuka Yoshimoto. When Rentarou reads it at his house, he gets so invested in it that he's got tears in his eyes.
• Rentarou managed to read the entire book in just one night, and Shizuka lends him the next book in the series the following day.
• Upon noticing how tired Rentarou is, Hakari kisses him on the cheek while jokingly saying she'll share her energy with him. Not only does this actually work, when Rentarou hugs her afterward, Hakari herself becomes exhausted.
• Karane offers to share her energy too, but she ends up head-butting Rentarou.
  Rentarou: Who'd give energy with head-butts...!!?
  • His response afterwards (in the English dub):
    Rentarou: Thank you anyway, my little battering ram!
    Karane: Don't objectify me!
• Rentarou spends several nights in a row typing out the full text of Shizuka's favorite book by hand just to let her quote it in a text-to-speech app for her phone, when a sensible person would download an e-book or Kindle version for said app.^note The anime undermines the latter point slightly, as Shizuka mentions that Circlet Love Story was never released in a digital format.
• Poor Shizuka is trembling like crazy when Rentarou introduces her to Hakari and Karane as his newest girlfriend.
• Crunchyroll's translation of Karane's reaction:
  Did your damn brain rot away?! Did. Your. Damn. Brain. Rot. Away?!
  • And in English:
    Did your already dumb brain rot away?! It's either that, or you wanna diiiiiie!
• While Karane is understandably outraged, Hakari thinks Rentarou is so kind to still date them even though he's fallen in love with another girl.
  Karane: Okay, I need a case of antipsychotics for this. Like, right now.
  Crunchyroll Subs: Somebody stop this brainrot epidemic!
  English Dub: It's a frickin' brain rot epidemic up in here!
• Rentarou states that his feelings for them haven't been divided to Shizuka. He uses an analogy of discovering a new oil field to explain his newfound love. Karane chastises him for this.
  Karane: Don't compare the feelings you have for your lovers to fossil fuels.
  English Dub: Love sounds a lot less sentimental when you compare it to fossil fuels.
• Rentarou swears to the girls that he'll commit Seppuku if he fails to make them happy, and he already ordered a knife off of Amazon. His art style also changed a little.
  • Karane, Shizuka, and the manga are disturbed. Hakari is still crying Tears of Joy.

Chapter 4 / Episode 4, Part 1

• Rentarou tells the girls about how Shizuka communicates through her favorite books. And tells them to go to Chapter 3 / Episode 3 for more details.
  Karane: Don't cheat your way out an explanation with such a straight face!
• When Rentarou muses on breaking the ice, the example shown is two salarymen who become friends by having a shounen fist-fight.
• Rentarou and his girlfriends play a game of Old Maid, where first place gets to tickle last place. And they immediately skip the actual round.
  Rentarou: Old Maid is an overwhelming, dreadful grind of a game, and we finished it without even giving it a panel.
• Karane trying poorly at acting disappointed that she ended up in last place with Rentarou at first.
  Karane: (Blushing) Pfft!! Bring on yer penalty game or whatever! Legoo!!
  Hakari: That's a big smile you've got there.
  • When Rentarou starts tickling Karane, she lets out some restrained grunts as her eyes fill with tears.
    Rentarou: This is making me look like I'm doing some real questionable things here, don't you think...!!!?
• Hakari starts taking off her school jacket when she ends up last. Karane buttons her back up and bans taking clothes off.
  Hakari: Boo...
  • In the anime, Hakari manifests another ghostly afterimage that smiles as she says she lost. Then it disappears back into her body and she starts pumping her fists in the air and shouting "Woohoo! Let's go!". A sweatdropping Karane points out she's saying the quiet bit out loud, but this does absolutely nothing to stop Hakari, who starts removing her jacket, leading into the above.
  • Getting tickled by Rentarou causes Hakari to drool and giggle ecstatically, prompting someone to ask if there's a drug case going on here. Then Hakari stops Rentarou from tickling her because she was close to "lizzing" at that moment, which is laughing so hard that you pee yourself. The anime refers to it as "Ecsta-pee".
• Shizuka uses her text-to-speech app to laugh when Rentarou tickles her, which she does on repeat.
  "She laughed aloud." / "She gave a hearty laugh."
  • At first Rentarou finds this weird, but he keeps tickling on anyway just to see her laughing face. Hakari notes that Shizuka's also being considerate to anyone near the area this way.
• Karane and Hakari become determined to win the next round and have their chance at tickling Rentarou. Shizuka wins instead.
  • When it's Shizuka's turn to tickle Rentarou, she just pokes him. He still laughs when she does this, although he's probably faking it to make her feel better.
    Shizuka: "How is this?" / "Does that suffice?"
• Hakari fears that her cute act doesn't appeal to Rentarou as much as Shizuka's natural innocence. She declares Shizuka (a natural-born smol floof) to be a more formidable foe than "that bird-brained Karane-san."
• Rentarou suddenly goes to the bathroom after saying he laughed too much. Hakari wonders if he lizzed, while the narration just says "*Nope."

Chapter 5 / Episode 4, Part 2

• Chapter 4 is called "A Flirtatious Chapter". This one is called "With the Truth, Comes an Even More Flirtatious Chapter".
• After Karane angrily asks Shizuka why she's holding back, Hakari suggests it's because Karane is yelling. Karane then yells about when she ever does that.
  Hakari: Ignorance really is bliss.
• When Shizuka admits that she's terrified, Karane tearfully asks Hakari if she really is that scary, although it turns out Shizuka wasn't afraid of Karane herself.
  Hakari: I'm surprised you're so concerned about that...
• Karane starts banging her hands on Rentarou's chest after he says how cute her embarrassed face is. Rentarou initially laughs before realizing just how much it actually hurts.

Volume 1 Extras

• The moment the God of Love racked up Rentarou's soulmate count by two figures.
• The three-way kiss actually summoned a UFO.
• The dagger Rentarou ordered for his emergency Seppuku plan was intended to be as painful as possible before death.
• Hakari checked to see if she really did pee herself after Rentarou tickled her.
• Rentarou recounts the first time he confessed to a girl... when he was 8 months old. Karane calls him a monster just like Anonymous Friend "A" in Chapter 1, which Rentarou points out.

Volume 2 (Chapters 6 - 14 / Episodes 5 - 9a)

Chapter 6 / Episode 5, Part 1

• In the anime, the girls flash back to Rentarou explaining that his phone's important to him because it contains his pictures and memories with them, which caused them to collectively hngh, and a caption pops up saying "A New Flashback...". When they hngh at the memory too, another caption pops up saying "The Hngh Strikes Back".
• The school's scores came up. Hakari ranked 25th, Karane got 87th, and Shizuka got 44th. Rentarou, who gives them each pats on the heads, got 88th. The scoreboard identifies #4 as Nano Eiai, who ranked first place in the entire school.
• When the class has to draw pictures of onion cells observed through a microscope, Nano initially opts to just copy the picture in her textbook instead. After Rentarou urges her to do it properly, Nano obliges... by using a microscope on her textbook.
• For someone as logical as Nano, it's a real shock when she treats the cut on Rentarou's finger by sucking on it, since a method like that could have made it worse, which Nano herself realizes later.
  • The anime carries this even further by drawing out the finger sucking scene and even showing us Nano's tongue licking all over Rentarou's finger.
• Karane has so much trouble operating the microscope that she starts acting like a tsundere to the cells.
  Hakari: What are you trying to compete with this time...?
• Nano writes down the Pi formula on a marker board to take her mind off of Rentarou. At first, it works. Then she writes it down over and over. Before long it's spread to the walls.
• After Nano realizes she's fallen for Rentarou, she asks him out. When Rentarou accepts, she immediately turns him down.
  Rentarou: WHAT KIND OF SICK JOKE IS THIS...!!!?

Chapter 7 / Episode 5, Part 2

• Nano once again writing down the Pi formula on a marker board while talking to Rentarou with a blank face. In her head.
  Nano: Aijou Rentarou likes me! 3.1415926535…..
• When Nano meets Rentarou at the amusement park, she assumes his blissful reaction to seeing her in casual clothes is a sign that he's sick. She suggests they go home, even though she just got there.
  Rentarou: We're not leaving yet. Can you not be so obsessed with max efficiency?
• Rentarou's date with Nano at an amusement park is a mash-up of her deconstructing every attraction. To the point where you'd think she'd never even heard of amusement parks at all.
  • While Nano is riding a merry-go-round, she calls it a horseback riding training machine.
  • When Rentarou takes her picture and asks her to say cheese, Nano questions what cheese has to do with anything.
  • As Rentarou and Nano enter a haunted house, she makes her thoughts on them clear.
    Nano: Ghosts and monsters are unscientific beings. They don't exist.
    Rentarou: I'm sure they'd be really upset to hear you say that. You know, if they did exist.
    • Jump Scares and zombies have no effect on her.
      Nano: What are you getting so worked up about? They're all human.
      Rentarou: Who wouldn't get goosebumps in a situation like this!? Even if they were humans!?
    • Nano is so unimpressed with the haunted house that she thinks the "haunted" part should be taken out.
      Rentarou: Wouldn't that just make it a regular "house," then?
  • She can't comprehend the notion of finding tea-cup rides fun just by riding in them either. And compares it to brainwashing with spinning and music.
    Rentarou: What kinda nightmare tea party are you talking about!?
  • Nano tries to confirm her route in a huge maze with an overhead view.
    Rentarou: But that's the whole point of it being huge!!!
    • When they run into a dead end, Nano gets annoyed and says the maze should have been made with just the correct path.
      Rentarou: But that's the whole point of it being a maze...!!!
    • As they continue to traverse the maze, Nano says if humans were equipped with fully automated functions, they could get through the maze without a thought, and life in general.
      Rentarou: But that's the whole point of a human being a human!!!
• After Nano dries her tears with Rentarou's handkerchief, she says she'll return it once she disinfects it. Rentarou asks if she's going to lick it as an Imagine Spot of Nano licking the handkerchief appears saying, "Saliva has antibacterial properties," referring to the time Nano performed Finger-Suck Healing on Rentarou. Nano stutters a bit before saying she's just going to wash it.
• Doubled with Heartwarming, Nano straight up kisses Rentarou at the end of their date. Compare this to the scheming and pitfalls his first girlfriends went through just to accomplish that.
• By the end of the anime's episode, the narrator is very excited for the following episode:
  Narrator: Swimsuit episode incoming! Let's freakin' go!

Chapter 8 / Episode 6, Part 1

• When Rentarou reiterates his promise to commit Seppuku if he can't make his girlfriends happy, Nano tells him that poisoning himself would be a more efficient suicide method.
  Karane: What's with you and quick and easy deaths, huh...!!?
• Nano wants to go to the amusement park with Rentarou again. When Karane points out she just went there yesterday, Nano says that was before they started dating. They haven't gone as lovers yet.
• Rentarou imagines himself as a muscular angel after seeing Hakari, Shizuka, and Nano in swimsuits, complete with said angel making Raoh's death pose.
• In response to Karane saying she's chilly, Nano suggests a spot where she can warm up. Karane thanks Nano but says there's no need for Nano to worry about her. Nano says they're not close enough yet for her to be considerate of Karane before calling her presumptuous. Karane tries to kick Nano in retaliation, who dodges her attack.
  • The anime extends this into Karane delivering a rapid-fire barrage of kicks, which Nano dodges repeatedly.
• After Hakari pushes her breasts into Rentarou under the guise that the current of the lazy river pushed her there, Nano just grabs Rentarou's hand and places it on her own breast because it's the most efficient way for him to feel feminine charm.
  • Hakari and Nano end up fighting over the Buxom Beauty Standard while making Rentarou grope them. Rentarou can offer no opinion on the matter because he passed out from a nosebleed. This leads to the two fighting over who gives him CPR, each freezing up and kissing him instead as soon as they get to it.
  • Nano (accidentally?) slaps Hakari in the face with her ponytail, while Hakari slaps her in the face with her boobs.
  • They eventually give up and agree to find a staff member to help their boyfriend.
    Hakari: Eiai-san, let's go find a staff member right away! And make sure it's a male staff member!
    Nano: A wise choice. Let us find a male staff member.
• The English dub adds a bit when Shizuka realizes she can't get out of the pool:
  Narrator: It was at this moment, lost in the chlorinated sea, that Shizuka knew, she fluffed up.
• In what's also a moment of awesome, Nano poking in the eyes of a creeper that tried to mess with Hakari.
• The narration sums up everyone's situation as follows:
  Narration: Hakari and Nano are in a whole lot of trouble thanks to some trashy men...!! Shizuka is stranded...!! Karane is complaining about being oddly chilly...! And Rentarou is knocking on death's door...!!
  • In the anime's dub instead of the usual narrator, this segment is narrated by Ian Sinclair making a surprise cameo as the narrator from Kaguya-sama: Love Is War.
    Kaguya!Narrator: Hakari and Nano are under attack by a gang of scumbags. Shizuka is still a castaway. Karane is suffering from a mysterious chill. And Rentarou is on the brink of death! What's Gonna Happen in the Water Park Arc! What happened to the original narrator?
  • Two kids are hanging around Rentarou's unconscious body, thinking he's dead. One of them is poking his head with a stick.

Chapter 9 / Episode 6, Part 2

• Just as one of the creeps is about to grab Hakari, Rentarou suddenly intercepts him, causing the creep to accidentally grip Rentarou's face. Rentarou asks what they're doing to his girlfriends, while the creep says, "Wh-... What kind of an idiot would say that while on the receiving end of an iron claw...!?"
• Rentarou tries to defuse the situation with the creeps by offering to hang out with them as much as they like. What really makes this funny is Nano made the exact same offer earlier.
  Why the hell would we wanna hang out with you...!!?
• Hakari and Nano both kiss him to prove they were his girlfriends to the group of creeps. They call them shameless in response and Rentarou reacts... well, either as much as you expect or less.
  Rentarou: HEY, TAKE THAT BACK, I'LL KILL YOU!
• The guy Nano inflicted Eye Scream onto still has his eyes poked in.
• How did Rentarou wake up? Karane told him Hakari and Nano were in trouble.
  Rentarou: SAY WHAT!!!!!?
• Rentarou quickly identifies the real reason Karane is wearing a Modesty Towel, with his comment about her staring at Hakari and Nano's breasts causing her to Spit Take.
• When he whisks it off of her, Karane hits him with a rapid series of slaps.

Chapter 10 / Episode 7, Part 1

• Rentarou gets a ZING!! from a girl in the chemistry lab, but before he can find out who Girlfriend #5 is, he literally gets dragged away by Karane on the group’s way to a pancake special for the first five couples who come.
  • Since they all have the same boyfriend, Nano suggests mixing the other four meals into a smoothie to maximize efficiency.
• When he returns to the lab the next day after school, he finds a young girl whose Verbal Tic reminds him of Nano.^note Her Verbal Tic "Yep yep" in Japanese is pronounced "nanoda".
  Imagine Spot Nano: I'm Nano. Yeppers.
  • The official manga translation uses "Aye" as her Verbal Tic, which gives us...
    Imagine Spot Nano: I'm Eiai, aye.
• The young girl, Kusuri Yakusen, bombards Rentarou with a spiel on a new drug without letting him say anything. It's a blood magnetization drug, which Kusuri promptly goads Rentarou to drink, claiming that firsthand experience is much better than hearing about a drug. Like smoking meth for one example.
  Rentarou: You speaking from personal experience there?
  Kusuri: To be honest, as a member of the chemistry club, I am inter-...
  Rentarou: ABSOLUTELY NOT!!!
  • The anime bleeps out any spoken mention of meth, with the subtitles covering up letters using asterisks.
  • The English Dub adds a Breaking Bad reference as Kusuri says Walter's famous "I am the one who knocks!" line as part of her explanation.
• After Kusuri force-feeds Rentarou the drug, metal objects start sticking to his body like a magnet. Then she explains that he'll be suffering through three days and nights of unimaginable constipation as a side effect right after he took the drug.
• Kusuri then drinks a dose of the magnetization drug with Reverse Polarity to Rentarou's dose, causing the two to get stuck hugging each other. She then explains that if her dose was the same polarity as Rentarou's, she'd be stuck upside-down from Rentarou. And would get chewed out for it since the series isn't 18+.
  • In the English dub's version of this scene, Rentaro exclaims that he has 69 problems with that.
• The drug is stronger than Kusuri thought, but the effect only lasts for 10 minutes, to Rentarou's relief... until Kusuri realizes she has to pee. Unable to separate, and having gotten into the routine of wearing diapers to avoid interrupting her experiments, she relieves herself while still stuck to Rentarou.
  Rentarou: AAAHHH! SOMETHING'S GONNA AWAKEN INSIDE ME, AWAKEN! A NEW FETISH IS GONNA AWAKENNNNNNNN!!
• After the magnetization drugs wear off, Kusuri starts running through a list of drugs she's invented. Rentarou tries to get his mind back on track until Kusuri reveals that she spiked Rentarou with a Love Potion and confesses her feelings for him. Rentarou's immediate response is to go "BLEEEEEEERRRRRRRRRRRRRRGH!!!!"
  Kusuri: What's with the "BLERGH"!!!!!!? That's just rude! How could you say that to someone's confession...!!? Do you have a shred of decency in you!?
  Rentarou: I don't wanna hear that from someone who can pee while they're stuck to someone's chest!
• When Rentarou admits that Kusuri is still cute even after she administers a neutralization drug, she realizes that his feelings for her were already high enough that the Love Potion overwhelmed him. She then confesses while prostrating herself.
• Upon standing back up, she's taken on the form of the girl Rentarou saw the day before, leading him to realize she really is his soulmate. Kusuri is actually older than Rentarou but ended up looking like a young girl after a failed attempt at an immortality drug. While the neutralization drug reverts her to her original appearance, it's not as strong as the immortality drug, and so she'll only have her older form for 10 or 20 minutes at a time.
  • She actually prefers her younger form, due to being able to see better and not having as much hair to deal with.
• Rentarou returns Kusuri's confession by prostrating himself.
• After accepting his reciprocated feelings, Kusuri realizes she needs to change diapers.
  Rentarou: CAN YOU PLEASE NOT TALK ABOUT DIAPERS IN YOUR CURRENT FORM!?

Chapter 11 / Episode 7, Part 2

• Kusuri's introduction to the girls:
  Kusuri: (drooling) Kusuri... really, really, really loves drugs, yep~ yep~♥
  Karane: Umm, are you sure she's okay!!?
  Rentarou: No need to worry, she said she hasn't done meth yet.
  Karane: GEE, WHAT A CONVINCING WAY TO PUT OUR MINDS AT EASE.
• As a token of goodwill, Kusuri gifts the girls with her drugs. She offers Karane a "boob enhancement drug," a "be honest with yourself drug," and a "become more feminine drug." Karane quickly puts Rentarou in a Boston Crab when she learns he told Kusuri about it.
  Karane: YER THE WORST, THE WORST, THE WORRRRST!!! IS THAT WHAT YA REALLY THINK OF ME, HUH!!?
  Rentarou: GHGYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!
  Karane: RENTAROU, YOU PIECE OF CRAP!!! I FREAKIN' HATE YOU...!!!!
  • Then it cuts to Karane bashfully apologizing after Kusuri clarifies that Rentarou was complimenting her.
    Kusuri: Don't get him wrong! What he said about you was... That you're slender, with a great figure! And that you not being honest all the time makes you incredibly adorable...
    Karane: I-I'm so sorry... Everything I said was a lie... There ain't no way... the thought of hating you would cross my mind... D-... Did I hurt you...?
  • On that note, Rentarou (who's bleeding from the mouth) even finds Karane's ferocity a reward.
    Kusuri: Are you a masochist?
• Kusuri gives Hakari a drug to make her sexier. By which she means that it makes Hakari sweat her clothes off. She goes from embarrassed to congratulating Kusuri when Rentarou gives her his jersey.
  • In the anime, she has an Imagine Spot of her boobs and undercarriage becoming bigger and Gainaxing wildly.
• Her drug for Shizuka gives her bunny ears. When Rentarou strokes them, it triggers a pleasurable reaction in Shizuka. Rentarou assumes it's like a dog enjoying having its ears rubbed, but the narration says he "misunderstood a bit." Shizuka then drools in pleasure when Rentarou continues to stroke them. Hakari and Karane also stroke Shizuka's ears while admiring how cute they are.
• Finally, Nano gets the "hair manipulation drug," which gives her the power to control her hair to the point where she can create hands. Then Nano uses it to pull Rentarou over for a kiss.
  Nano: I like this.
  Rentarou: I like this too.
  • Kusuri offers Nano more while informing her that taking multiple doses of the "hair manipulation drug" will increase the user's risk of going bald. Nano considers this a good thing since being bald would save her time maintaining her hair. When Rentarou asks Nano if she's sure, she asks him if he would still love her even if she went bald.
    Rentarou: Of course...!!!! I'm confident that I'd love you, even if you go bald, gain weight, or have your body hijacked by aliens!!!!
    Nano: That last one would no longer be me.
  • That said, Rentarou also says he loves Nano's beautiful hair. Nano blushes heavily before telling Kusuri she no longer needs the drug.
• Kusuri also made tea for them. A big thermos for Rentarou and a small one for the girls. Rentarou's thermos is actually a "You Can't Help But Kiss The Person You Love Drug" meant for him to relentlessly kiss her. Kusuri thought that Rentarou would take the big one because it was for males, but instead Rentarou figured it was for more people and poured it for the girls. Now the girlfriends are "Kissing Zombies."
  • Not only does she say this just after the girls already drank it, Rentarou points out he would have kissed her anyway. Kusuri's happy and leans in for a kiss, but then Kiss Zombie Karane tosses her into the air.
  • This is followed by Hakari almost pouncing on Rentarou yelling "Kiss Kiss!", and landing with enough force to crack the ground.
  • Kusuri warns Rentarou that if the girls catch him, they'll kiss him for the rest of his life. Rentarou doesn't think that's a bad thing at first until Kusuri adds they'll be like that forever if they don't take the "neutralization drug" within an hour.
• The "Resident Evil of Kissing" has begun for Rentarou and his girlfriends.
  • "Kiss of the Dead"

Chapter 12 / Episode 8, Part 1

• Another name for the event; "Kiss-Biohazard"
• Rentarou and Kusuri running away from the Kiss Zombies gets the Vice-Principal's attention. Kusuri calls the Vice-Principal a monster in terror and hits her with the "if this gets splashed on you, your skin will burn with unimaginable pain drug." This causes the Vice-Principal's makeup foundation to melt, but she's otherwise unharmed. Kusuri is so disappointed her drug failed that she starts to cry about it. Rentarou tries to cheer Kusuri up by telling her, "Everybody knows that modern science doesn't work on monsters!"
  • The Vice-Principal panics at her true face being revealed to "the humans" and crawls away to reapply her foundation.
• As Kiss Zombies, the girlfriends are still able to strategize but have devolved into saying nothing but "Kiss" for communication. Rentarou translated Nano's speech into "A pincer attack would be most efficient."
  • Shizuka still uses her app to communicate.
• Rentarou is confident that he's able to outrun the physically weak Shizuka. Then she trips on her face, and Rentarou runs back to take her to the infirmary.
  Rentarou: I've already applied a wet compress, chilled your forehead, and chanted the "Pain, pain, go away!" spell. You'll be fine now.
  Shizuka: "Kiss".
  Beat
  Rentarou: (As Shizuka climbs on top of him) I FORGOT! WE'RE IN THE MIDDLE OF A RESIDENT EVIL SITUATION RIGHT NOW!! HOW COULD THAT HAVE SLIPPED MY MIND!?
  • Thankfully, he's able to resist Shizuka's kisses and... hangs her up on a clothes hanger.
• Karane and Hakari perform a Fastball Special to catch Rentarou, with Hakari as the fastball.
  "Karane Catapult & Hakari Meteor Bullet!!!"
  Rentarou: This isn't the Universal Chojin Tag Tournament, come on!!!
• Even as zombies, Hakari and Karane still can't stop arguing with each other over Rentarou's affections.
  • Rentarou rationalizes that the potion makes you want to kiss the one you love, so he shoves his girlfriends' faces into each other as they argue in a ploy for them to start kissing each other so he can escape. And it works. Thing is... he somehow believes that their making-out session is friendship.
  • Hakari and Karane's make-out session quickly intensifies, to the point where they start French kissing each other.
    Rentarou: (thinking) This got hardcore real fast.
  • Rentarou spends a while watching Hakari and Karane kiss each other before remembering he has to get to the chem lab.
• Hiding in a locker from Nano, Rentarou is hoping that Kusuri can get into the chem lab for the neutralization drug - instead he finds out that she's in the same locker as him. The manga then announces that "Hope is Dead."

Chapter 13 / Episode 8, Part 2

• It turns out Kusuri has a single dose of the "neutralization drug" with her. Rentarou assumes she'll use it on Nano, only for Kusuri herself to start drinking it. He tries to stop her in a panic and accidentally spills the rest. Kusuri asks him what he's doing, while he wants to know why they didn't give it to Nano. Kusuri says that could have worked, too.
  Rentarou: We had other options!?
• Kusuri turns into her older form while telling Rentarou her original plan was to enter the chem lab as her older self since Nano doesn't know about it. She asks Rentarou why his face is red.
  Rentarou: W-...Well, that's because...!! (thinking) Your body's touching me... in a whoooole lot of places...!!
• Since Kusuri only drank a sip of the "neutralization drug," she'll only be in her older form for a very brief period, so she plans to tie up Nano with some rope. Kiss Zombie Nano demonstrates the ability to say something other than just "kiss" when she sees grown-up Kusuri:
  Nano: Insignifikiss.
  • When Nano spots Kusuri approaching her with a rope, Kusuri gives herself away by referring to herself in third person and gets tied up instead.
    Rentarou: (thinking) Refer to yourself in first person...!!!!
• After Kiss Zombie Nano catches Rentarou and starts kissing him, the caption and blurb that appear at the end of the chapter show up along with "GAME OVER..." The caption says, "Thank you very much for reading! Oh, Rentarou, may you rest in peace." The blurb on the other hand says, "Next page, what will be the result of this neverending "kiss"...!?"
  • In the anime, Nano breaks the doorknob off the closet door and peers through the resulting hole as Rentarou screams in fear. Sound familiar?
  • The anime version of this scene turns the joke into an Overly Long Gag, during which end credits play for about a full minute with the background music and credits occasionally distorting. Rentarou and Nano are kissing the entire time, and it's only ended when Kusuri appears and force-feeds Nano the negation drug.
• Nano is suddenly given the "neutralization drug" and passes out, revealing Kusuri, who's back in her child form, gave it to her. Rentarou correctly deduces that Kusuri escaped her bonds because she was tied up by Nano in her older form, then slipped out of them when she reverted to her younger form. Kusuri didn't even realize it, as she thought Rentarou somehow made a drug that melts vinyl or something.
  Rentarou: Wait, you didn't realize that?
• When all the girls recover, Hakari and Karane bashfully claim to not remember anything from their time as zombies, having remembered that they were kissing each other during the ordeal.
• As Kusuri apologizes to everyone for what happened, the other girls say her name, except for Shizuka, who says, "Drug ruler..."
• All the other girls gush over Rentarou in their heads after he urges Kusuri not to give up on her love of drug making.
  Nano: Amazing...♥
  Shizuka: So cool...♥
  Karane: So freakin' hot...!!♥
  Hakari: I'm wet.
  • The subtitles in the anime have Karane call Rentarou a Chad. Yes, Chadtarou is canon.

Chapter 14 / Episode 9, Part 1

• Nano explains who the Gorira Alliance are in a Wikipedia-esque manner.
  Rentarou: Thank you, Nanopedia.
• Rentarou shows off his Crazy-Prepared-ness for the first time when he takes out supplies for a banner from his backpack.
• One of the Goriras wants to take Shizuka home with them.
• Rentarou is shocked that the Vice-Principal is the one throwing the bouquet. According to Karane, she was an athlete in every sport, prompting Rentarou to wonder if the Vice-Principal is even human.
  • The Vice-Principal hopes the bouquet will break through the atmosphere so no one can be happy.
• The Gorira Alliance engage in some Loophole Abuse by using each other as battering rams, prompting Karane to temporarily join the group in order to fend them off.
  • The Gorira Alliance leader wonders what's with Karane's gorilla-like strength.
    Karane: I don't wanna hear that from you!!!
• When the Gorira Alliance generates a gust of wind to move the bouquet towards them, something else ends up flying along with the bouquet. Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No, it's Shizuka!
  • Rentarou believes Shizuka is flying through the air because her body is so light that she was launched by the wind generated by the Gorira Alliance, with the towel she's holding serving as a paraglider.
    Rentarou: Is she a garden fairy?
• Shizuka grabs the bouquet once she's close enough, but she starts to fall since she let go of her makeshift paraglider. Nano, Hakari, and older Kusuri try to catch her, which leads to Shizuka bouncing off their breasts.
  Rentarou: God's given airbags to the rescue.
• Karane thanks the Gorira Alliance leader for duking it out with her because she's very glad she wasn't there for the moment where Shizuka bounced off the other girls' breasts.
• With the bouquet in their possession, Hakari holds a raffle by having everyone draw chopsticks from her hands, with the winner being whoever gets the chopstick with a red mark at its tip.
  • Hakari secretly rigged the game in her favor by marking the winning chopstick with a tiny cut on the other end. To ensure she wins without arousing suspicion, she tries to have Nano pick first. Hakari predicts that Nano would pick the chopstick closest to her, so all Hakari has to do is move the winning chopstick away from Nano. The plan is completely undone when Nano instead suggests having everyone draw at the same time.
  • Despite this, Hakari still gets the winning chopstick. Hakari proceeds to say, "FWHOAAAAA!! ORORORORORORORORO!!" while thinking, "All right...! I won!", with the anime using its Running Gag of having Hakari's body saying what she's really thinking and her ghostly image saying what she meant to say.
    Karane: You're so happy that your thoughts and words are reversed.
• Kusuri, who's back in her child form, throws a huge tantrum over losing as she cries and flops on the ground.
  Rentarou: The epitome of "I don't wanna."

Volume 2 Extras

• Karane expresses disgust at Einsteinium being an element on the periodic table.
  • In the anime and official manga translation, she's struggling to memorize a mnemonic for the elements on the periodic table.
• Rentarou tries to reassure a group of children that a park mascot is real when Nano identifies it as a costumed human.
• Apparently, the wind from sticking your hand out of a car going 60 kph (35 mph) feels like boobs. (Don't Try This at Home.)
  • This is according to the creep whose eyes Nano poked in. His eyes are still poked in actually. Although he's still able to cry tears. Why is he crying? Because he can no longer tell if he can feel actual boobs or not.
    Eyeless Creep: CAN SOMEONE LET ME KNOW HOW REAL BOOBS FEEL!!!?
  • A flashback in the anime shows him sticking his hand out a car window while a younger girl sitting next to him (presumably his sister) watches on in bewilderment.
• The melon soda floats at the water park were good enough to make Karane forget she was supposed to be "feeling chilly." This is visualized as a text box saying, "The only place where you can get a melon soda float" knocking away another text box saying, "Being Chilly" setting.
• Rentarou and Kusuri reflect on how their first meeting was surprisingly casual.
• Out of curiosity, Karane asks what would happen if she took the Boob Enhancement drug. Kusuri says it would have made her breasts look like Bob Sapp's.
  Karane: His are all muscle. Real glad I didn't drink it.
• The Hakari Meteor Bullet didn't work out the first time.
  Karane: KISS KISS...!!!
• Separating Hakari and Karane from each other to drink the "neutralization drug" proves to be the biggest struggle, as Rentarou and Kusuri can't get them to budge at all.
  Rentarou: You guys love each other way too much...!!!
• Hakari sets up a Guess That Breast game, which Rentarou refuses to play and says he would quit being the protagonist if he did, forcing Karane to play in his place.
  • Karane threatens to resign as the heroine of the manga when Hakari tries to get her to play the Guess That Breast game, but it doesn't work like Rentarou's threat since there are four more heroines.
  • Hakari convinces Karane to play by pointing out that Karane can either be the judge or be judged.
  • While Shizuka and Kusuri praise Hakari for her cunning, Nano thinks Karane is just too simple-minded.
  • After Karane correctly guesses Hakari, the latter tries to get Karane to tell her how she figured out it was her. Karane makes her reasoning abundantly clear.
    Karane: It was the "I wanna tear these off in a fit of rage" feeling! That's how!!
    Hakari: Owwwww! You really are gonna tear them off! And then I'll be just like you, Karane-san!
    Karane: I'LL KILL YA!!!!
  • For the third round, Karane feels large breasts again and assumes it's Nano by process of elimination. It's actually Kusuri, who took her negation drug to revert to her original form while Karane was blindfolded. Karane claims that's against the rules, but Hakari argues that Kusuri's child form is her drugged appearance while her 18-year-old form is her true appearance.
  • Karane still has to grope Nano anyway in a throwaway round. Nano thinks it's a waste of time, but Hakari says they have to do this or else Nano's fans will get mad at Karane for trying to skip her.
  • Since Karane lost, she has to go through the penalty round, where all the other girls grope her. Kusuri compares Karane's breasts to gummy bears, Shizuka compares them to juicy fruits, and Nano just says, "A healthy human body."
• How the leader of the Gorira Alliance and Yuu met: she stopped a truck in its tracks single-handedly before it could hit him. She turned to ask if he was hurt, and... ZING!!
• The God of Love complaining about not appearing in the volume at all and demanding that everyone watch Spirited Away.

Volume 3 (Chapters 15 - 23 / Episodes 9b - 12)

Chapter 15 / Episode 9, Part 2

• When the other girls notice Hakari's absence, Kusuri speculates that she needed to pee. Cue the following conversation:
  Karane: She ain't you, okay?
  Kusuri: Hey, everybody pees... not just Kusuri... What are you trying to say, huh, yep yep...? [...] Does that mean Karane doesn't pee?
  Nano: The probability that she does pee is 99%.
  Karane: What's that last 1% supposed to mean, huh?
• When the guard goes looking for Rentarou the first time, he immediately leaves while concluding "must've been the wind" like a video game character.

Chapter 16 / Episode 10, Part 1

• Karane starts the Running Gag of "the [noun] of a wealthy family".
• When the cat of a wealthy family steals the ball Rentarou was using to hit Hakari's window to get her attention, Nano suggests weakening the cat with a kick.
  Rentarou: Hold on, Nano, animal protection groups would blacklist you for life.
• Nano unlocks the door by flinging pebbles at the lock through the pet door. Then she gives a long-winded exposition on how she managed it.
• Unable to escape from the dog of a wealthy family, Shizuka decides to sacrifice herself, complete with a Military Salute.
  Shizuka: "Over my dead body."
  • Instead of attacking Shizuka, the dog just licks her affectionately while she trembles in terror. Nano believes Shizuka is triggering the dog's instinct to protect "weaker creatures" like young animals and infants.
    Nano: The unparalleled extreme fragility of the being called "Yoshimoto Shizuka" must have surpassed the dog's own "instinct to protect its territory"...!
  • The others proceed to cheer about how weak Shizuka is, with the narrator explaining they're all praising her.
  • Nano suggests getting past the dog by having Shizuka crush its eyes. Rentarou has to remind her that the animals are still Hakari's pets.
  • Kusuri slips Shizuka a sleeping drug to knock out the dog, but due to ambiguous instructions, Shizuka drinks it herself. And then the dog knocks itself out by licking the drug from Shizuka's mouth.
• The group comes to a hall lined with infrared sensors, whereupon Kusuri reveals she has a set of eyedrops that let the user see infrared light.
  Rentarou: Okay, this convenient development is truly beyond shameless. Why are you even carrying something so specific!? The readers are gonna chew us out for this!!
  • Kusuri assumes from Rentarou's response that he doesn't want it and starts to sheepishly put it away until he tells her they will use it.
  • While Rentarou is putting the eye drops in his eyes, Kusuri warns him that there are only two drops and repeatedly urges him not to miss.
    Rentarou: Would you knock it off!? You're gonna jinx it! You do realize that this manga wouldn't hesitate to do something like that, right?
  • After Rentarou puts in the eye drops, Kusuri tells him that he'll only be able to see infrared light until they wear off.
    Rentarou: WOULD IT KILL YOU TO MENTION THAT BEFORE YOU SAY ALL THESE OMINOUS THINGS!!!?
• Rentarou has an internal monologue about how they'll succeed in rescuing Hakari as he waits for the eye drops to work. When the eye drops finally take effect, the hall is revealed to be tightly stacked top to bottom and front to back with infrared sensors.
  Rentarou: THIS IS IMPOSSIBLE, EVEN FOR TOM CRUISE...!!!!!!

Chapter 17 / Episode 10, Part 2

• In order to get above the sensors, Nano says they'll need two people with strong builds to walk along the walls by working together, but she points out the only people they have besides Rentarou are girls... before realizing Karane is here.
  Karane: Huh? What? What're ya looking at me f-...
  • The scene suddenly cuts to Rentarou and Karane tied together, with Karane protesting that she's a girl, too.
  • When Karane expresses skepticism over the plan working, Nano notes that the two people need to be in perfect sync and have perfect chemistry. Rentarou says there's nothing to worry about since it's him and Karane. Karane is so flattered by this that she decides to go through with the plan.
  • Due to not being able to see anything but infrared light, Rentarou doesn't realize that his face is rubbing against Karane's stomach. Karane is really aroused by this, to the point where she almost screams in pleasure. Upon getting past the sensors, Karane wonders if she felt like that because the house was giving off that dumb perv's smell. A chibi Hakari with a lustful look appears as the words "dumb perv" point at her.
• Shizuka, Nano, and Kusuri have run outside, when a guard passes close. They hide behind the bushes, with Nano and Kusuri meow... and Shizuka uses her app to say "The cat says 'meow'". The guard falls for it.
• When Hakari's mother Hahari finally confronts Rentarou, she thinks he's invoking something due to the effects of the eye drops, and Rentarou denies giving her the evil eye or anything.
• After Hahari tells Rentarou she gave birth to Hakari at age 13, she asks if he can figure out why she did that. He thinks it's because she loves babies more than three meals a day.
• Upon hearing Hahari's reason for trying to seize Hakari from Rentarou, he starts crying out of sympathy for her plight, but still begs her to realize that his feelings are genuine. The tears cause the eye drops to be cleaned out of his eyes, allowing him to see Hahari's face and—ZING!!
• The chapter's end tag is such:
  "NOW YOU'VE DONE IT! FOR REAL, RENTAROU!? FOR REAL, FATE!? YOU'VE DONE IT NOW!"

Chapter 18 / Episode 11, Part 1

• The dialogue at the start of the chapter:
  For the 29-year-old Hahari, who was 13 when the father of her daughter passed away, this was her first "palpitation of love" in nearly 16 years. However, she had experienced this "forbidden impulse" before, where she became infatuated to the point that she became blind to everything, and her life had been deeply tormented by this deep regret ever since. And with Hahari now facing this impulse that one could also call "fate"...
  Hahari: Rentarou-chan, please go out with me!!!!!!💙💙💙💙
  ...of course she would still go blind.
  • The English Dub's rendition:
    Narrator: (sounding serious, with the intensity growing near the end) For the noble Hahari, who lost her lover at the age of thirteen, it had been sixteen long years since she had last felt sparks fly. In her youth, the feeling overwhelmed and blinded her. It had stained the rest of her days so deeply with regret, that she had grown to despise love itself. Faced with the emotion she had detested for years, Hahari...
    Hahari: (sounding much less haughty than she had previously) Rentarou baby, end this madness and just go out with me!
    Narrator: (sounding utterly tired and unsurprised) ... Yep, Hahari was blinded again.
  • And then she tries to pass it off as a "Mom joke."
  • Episode 11 opens with a recap of episode 10, which consists solely of a "Before" moment of Hahari declaring Rentarou a sinful five-timer and an "After" of her asking him out herself.
    Narrator: (whispering) Recap over!
• Karane's reaction to Rentarou considering it. Which may or may not be the reader's reaction as well.
  Karane: THAT'S HAKARI'S MOTHER!!! HER FREAKING MOTHER!!! THAT AIN'T GONNA WORK, 'KAY?!!! IT AIN'T GONNA WORK!!!!
  • The anime has a different lead-in to that moment. Karane is snapped out of freaking out at Hahari's confession by seeing the 'ba-dump ba-dump' sound effect bouncing across the bottom of the screen. When she looks over, she sees Rentarou blushing and stammering.
• Hahari subjects Rentarou to a Lie Detector test to determine his feelings for Hakari, claiming that it will expose even the tiniest lie. Rentarou requests that she prove the machine can be trusted. Since Karane is the only person present who can provide an objective assessment, Hahari subjects her to the machine first.
  Crunchyroll comment: Subjecting a Tsundere to a lie detector test. Isn't that a form of torture?
  • The first question asks about Karane's bust size. Karane hems and haws a response, testing the machine's patience until she finally answers "B" border-lining on "A".
    English Dub!Karane: You're just as pervy as your sicko daughter, huh?!
  • Karane punches the machine, prompting Rentarou to point out that the machine is expensive.
  • Karane is next asked if she likes Rentarou. The machine registers her initial answer as false, prompting Rentarou to collapse on the floor coughing up blood. Remembering that the machine would expose even the tiniest lie, Karane gives increasingly committed answers, which the machine keeps registering as false (and causing Rentarou to cough up even more blood) until she, as acutely embarrassed as she can possibly be, says that she really, really, really, really, really loves him more than anything in the whole wide world.
    • The anime shows Rentarou reabsorbing the blood like a sponge.
  • Karane moans that the machine will destroy somebody's self-esteem someday, which the machine registers as true.
• Rentarou immediately takes Karane's place on the Lie Detector and reciprocates that he really, really, really, really, really loves Karane more than anything in the whole wide world. While the machine registers this as true, he actually did it to relieve the overflowing feelings in him before the "pest trial".
• The narrator regards the outcome as a Foregone Conclusion, so the "pest trial" is abridged to Rentarou confessing his feelings for Hakari, apexing in yet another Title Drop, all of which the machine registers as true while emoting tears of joy.
• Hahari suffers a Villainous Breakdown before attempting to dismiss the results as the Lie Detector being a machine, whereupon Karane demands her broken self-esteem back, as well as the wasted pages.
  • The machine actually starts crying as Hahari insults it.
  • In the anime, Hahari dismisses Karane's complaints, saying it's not her problem and they can skip the ending credits or something. Rentarou protests that they made a special ending just for this episode, causing Hahari to chime in and say "Whoa, spoiler alert!".
  • Becomes Chekhov's Gag when it turns out that there is, in fact, a special Hahari-centric ending song for the episode.
• When a maid (whose eyes aren't shown in the anime) barges in to tell everyone that Hakari is about to jump out a window, Karane grabs Hahari in a chokehold and threatens to snap her neck if anyone moves (in the English dub: "I'll snap her neck faster than you can say tax evasion!"). Rentarou warns everyone that Karane really is capable of doing that while looking terrified.
  Karane: WHY ARE YA THE SCAREDEST ONE HERE...!!!?

Chapter 19 / Episode 11, Part 2

• When they see Hakari sitting on the window and threatening to jump, Shizuka, Nano, and Kusuri beg her not to do it. The guard next to them still thinks they are cats.
• Hahari manages to get to Hakari's room while Karane still has her in a chokehold and is wrapping her legs around Hahari's waist.
  Hahari: Grrrrr!! I finally made it to Hakari's room...!!
  Karane: Grkrgh! A mom's strength in a life-or-death situation sure is somethin'...!!
• After Rentarou manages to re-direct his and Hakari's fall to the water fountain, the other girlfriends quickly dive in to rescue them... and Shizuka immediately sinks because she can't swim. Kusuri has to break off to rescue her instead.
• All the girls' shocked reactions to Hahari joining the harem.
  Karane: H-his girlfriend's mom...
  Hakari: My own mother...
  Kusuri: A widow...
  Shizuka: "Chaos."
  Nano: Oyakodon...
  • The subtitles have Kusuri say "MILF" and Nano say "Mother-Daughter Double Whopper".

Chapter 20 / Episode 11, Part 3 / Episode 12, Part 1

• Having been invited to spend the night at the mansion, the girls start cleaning themselves in the bath of a wealthy family and compare bust sizes. Which prompts Karane to re-dress, leave, and grumble how those "fat sacks" will get in the way of a fight to make herself feel better.
  • The anime decides to tag Karane leaving as a "strategic retreat".
• After meeting up with Rentarou, the memories of climbing past the sensors with Karane resurface when he points out she's showing her stomach, prompting her to vigorously rub her face against his stomach as payback.
  Karane: W-... Well!? Embarrassin', ain't it!!?
  Rentarou: (Thinking) I'm more happy than embarrassed hereeee!!!!
• Karane really gets into the mood while cuddling with Rentarou, to the point where she starts kissing and even licking his stomach.
• Kusuri walks in on the duo and thinks they were sumo wrestling. (They were verrrry close to doing something else and tumbled to the floor as soon as she came in.) While she tries to engage Rentarou in the sport, Karane bemoans her rough-up of Rentarou, blaming it on the mansion smelling like the Hanazonos.
  • The anime adds to this by showing Karane imagining the Hanazonos with succubi tails saying "Welcome to the club!".
• When Hahari undresses the girls to change them into the pajamas she provided, Hakari and Karane object while Nano just calmly says, "The odds of this inevitably happening are 99%."
• Hahari and Rentarou Squee in delight at the sight of the girls, followed by Hahari chastising Rentarou for screaming at this hour despite doing so herself.
• Shizuka and Kusuri trigger a Cuteness Overload in Hahari and Rentarou, especially when the two of them both kiss Rentarou's cheeks.
  Rentarou: I feel like the great beyond is calling for me...!
  Karane: It is calling for you...!!
• Hahari gets a nosebleed from watching the proceedings, leading her and Rentarou to retrieve some water from the kitchen. On the way, she drags Rentarou to her room, where the two are quickly stripped naked and start making a considerable amount of noise.
• In the anime, Hahari buys out the ending sequence, which she revamps into a Dream Sequence of herself and Rentarou in a fairytale sequence with the other girls serving as background characters. The title of her song roughly translates as "I bought today's ending, so you can do whatever you like♡". It's every bit as insane as you think it is.
• The rest of the girls are playing cards and wondering where Hahari and Rentarou are, until a scream from the latter leads them to rush to Hahari's room, thinking she's getting a head start on getting Rentarou's virginity.
  Hakari: No cutting in line, Mother! / Not so fast, I have been here since Episode 1!
  Kusuri: Only Kusuri is allowed to deflower Rentaro! / Hey, Rentaro is Kusuri’s to deflower!
  Nano: I don’t think Aijo Rentaro can be deflowered. / I would conjecture that he has more of a stone than a-
  Karane: It doesn’t matter! I bet she doesn’t even know what she’s talking about! / Doesn’t know what she’s saying! She’s a chemist, not a biologist!
  Shizuka: [slight whimper as she runs after them]
  • As it turns out, Hahari was forcing Rentarou to cross-dress. The girls go from being mad at Hahari to lavishing her with praise. Their reactions also cause Rentarou to pass out from embarrassment.
• Hahari comes up with a solution to revive Rentarou: dress up Nano as a prince and have her kiss "Princess" Rentarou. Hakari, Kusuri, and especially Shizuka are captivated by Nano's appearance, with the latter drooling and taking pictures with her phone while calling Nano "My knight...!"
  Nano: Someone coming to their senses through this method is pure absurdity... Something is truly wrong with this world...
  Hahari: What a sacred scene...
  Hakari: Mother, don't be so vulgar. You're drooling...
  Karane: Says you. You're also drooling...
  Shizuka: "Says you, who is also..."
  Kusuri: Says Shizuka, who's also...
  • The Madroolshka Dolls.^note Matryoshka dolls. Or as the anime subtitles put it, Droolception.
• Having recovered from the fainting spell, Rentarou leaves to take a bath in shame.
  Kusuri: (thinking) He's sulking...
  Nano: (thinking) Cute...
• Mei makes her first appearance providing Hahari with a coil of rope as she and Hakari head off to peep on Rentarou taking a bath. Both are drooling as the manga dubs them a "Pink perv mother-daughter combo."

Chapter 21 / Episode 12, Part 2

• Nano, Kusuri, and Karane join the perverted mother and daughter in peeping on Rentarou. Kusuri because she's never seen a man's privates before, Nano to prepare for the first night, and Karane because she doesn't wanna get one-upped by anyone. Not because she's interested or anything.
  • The Hanazonos are genuinely astonished that Karane caved in so easily.
    Hakari: (thinking) We barely even did anything.
    Hahari: (thinking) She's so simpleminded, it's actually scary.
    • Or, as the English dub puts it:
    Hanazonos: (thinking) She's easier than we are...
• Something Nano says in the anime, and Karane's response to it:
  Nano: It makes sense to observe your partner's body, to alleviate tension and prepare for what is to come.
  Karane: Come?!
• The only one who doesn't approve is Shizuka, who attempts to stop them but gets tied up in a blanket. The manga is quick to point out how she looks like a sushi roll.
  • "Hooray! It's Sushizuka-chan!"
  • The girls (mainly Hahari) try to pass this off as protecting the pure Shizuka from sin. Something Karane calls them out for even though she's still going with this.
• Rentarou already anticipated that the girls are planning to peek on him. His preparation for that? A towel around his waist.
  Narration: That's right, he's a boyfriend who's decent among decent. One who has become the king of decency.
• The girls' first attempt at peeping on Rentarou involves dropping Kusuri down with a rope so she can watch him from the window. Rentarou catches a glimpse of her, but thanks to the bath's steam, all he sees is a Creepypasta picture and gets spooked.
• Shizuka's... interesting fantasy of what she thinks would happen if the girlfriends peeped on Rentarou; all of them (Rentarou included) are tied by the ankle to Karane's waist and dragged through the city streets to be executed. Ending with Shizuka crying near their gravestone.
  Rentarou: How could I be such an indecent boyfriend, letting my girlfriends see me nude...!! Sentence me to be dragged across the city streets before executing me.
  Hakari: What sinful girlfriends we are, hunting Rentarou-kun down all because we gave in to a moment of lust...!! Sentence us to be dragged across the city streets before executing us.
  • Despite being the one dragging them in this scenario, Karane somehow ends up dead too.
  • Shizuka, still tied up, manages to move by rolling herself to the bathhouse.
• As their second attempt, the girls try traveling through the attic above the bath. (Escorted upstairs by Mei.)
  Karane: Wait... why am I going first?
  The perverted mother and daughter: (smiling) Because it's scary.
  • The cat of a wealthy family follows them up. He brushes against the girls, causing them to panic, believing that a mouse is crawling over their bodies.
  • Kusuri tries to spread some poison while Hahari says, "Kusuri-chan, no!! You'll kill us all!!!"
  • Despite barely changing her expression, Nano is just as creeped out and recites the Pi formula to stay calm.
  • Rentarou can hear the girls' crashing, bumping, and screaming from the ceiling, but thinks that ghosts are trying to make contact with him.
    Rentarou: FORGIVE ME!!! FORGIVE MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!
• Shizuka has managed to roll her way to the bath, but unfortunately she comes across the obstacle of stairs. She tries to prepare herself to roll down.
  Shizuka: (thinking) One... two... I need... a bit more time to get ready... let's not go on three... but 30... okay... after I count to 30, I'm going. I'll definitely go.
  • Then the dog of a wealthy family shoves her down, rolling into the water to move her out of their way.
    Dog: Woof (Hey, you, outta my way.) (As Shizuka is screaming) (You didn't need to be so dramatic about it... I just wanted you to move.)
  • The anime offers up a footnote announcing what the dog of a wealthy family's about to say.
    Dog: Bark. (Excuse me, could you move aside?) (as Shizuka rolls down the stairs) Whine. (That's a bit over the top...)
• Rentarou gets spooked one last time by Shizuka crashing into the water and rises from it as what he initially thinks is a Stringy-Haired Ghost Girl. Also, the priceless baby-like look on his face as he screams.
• Shizuka successfully manages to thwart the other girlfriends' perverted antics... but it is far from the way she wanted. She ends up getting a glimpse of Rentarou's junk, before passing out from a horny nosebleed.
• Shizuka can't take all the credit though. While taking Shizuka to get an ice pillow, Rentarou runs into the other girls after they got out of the ceiling, and asks them what they were doing. They claim they were only playing hide-and-seek and, as Karane says, not trying to peep on him in the bath or anything. Cue a frustrated Face Palm from the other girls.
  Narrator: And just like that, the perverted mother-daughter combo and their accomplices were lectured severely by the king of decency. Good boys and girls should never peep!
• Shizuka uses her phone to talk in her sleep.
  Shizuka: "As much as I love Mr."... "giraffe"... "I love... Mr."... "elephant"... "even more."
  Chapter end quote: She really, really, really, really, really loves Mr. Elephant.♥

Chapter 22 / Episode 12, Part 3

• Hahari and Rentarou's bashful reactions to touching hands during a card game prompt Karane to tell them to stop acting like they're in a romcom and pick a card.
  Nano: Actually, this manga should be acting a bit more like a romcom.
• Hahari excuses herself from the game, and after a while, Kusuri wonders how long it takes her to pee.
  Shizuka: "I believe"... "she did not say anything about going to"... "pee."
• Rentarou finds Hahari at a shrine for a young boy who turns out to be Hakari's father.
  Hahari: I... absolutely adore cute things, you see... like younger men... and Rentarou-chan and Rentarou-chan and Rentarou-chan...
• Later that night, when everyone is sleeping together:
  • Kusuri is sleeping on top of Hahari with her face in the latter's cleavage, with the latter looking uncomfortable.
  • Hakari tries to get closer to Rentarou, provoking Karane into a paranoid fit of jealousy... until Hakari mentions that she was restless about being taken away from Rentarou.
  • Later still, Hakari and Karane somehow ended up hugging and kissing each other in their sleep, even though Rentarou was between them. Both of them believe they're kissing Rentarou, who still thinks they're living out a strong friendship with one another.
• As he leaves to go to the bathroom, he crosses paths with the ghost of Hakari's father, who lambasts Rentarou for stealing his lover and daughter before realizing that Rentarou isn't scared of him.
• Even though Rentarou isn't married to Hakari, he still calls the ghost father-in-law.
• When Rentarou thanks Hakari's father for Hakari's birth and for making Hahari happy, he's so touched by Rentarou's kindness that he ends up moving on to the afterlife because he can feel his regrets of dying and leaving them being blown away. Rentarou cries in despair at his disappearance while shouting "FATHERRRRRRRR!!!"
  • Everything about Rentarou's encounter with Hakari's father becomes even more hilarious (and a little sad) when you remember that because of his age when he died, Rentarou is older than him.
• All of a sudden, Rentarou finds himself in front of the cat of a wealthy family, who's puffed up and spooked by Rentarou's outburst. Rentarou can't tell if what he just experienced was a dream or not.
• The next morning, Rentarou and the other girls head to their homes to retrieve their uniforms before leaving for school. Hahari's solution for spending time with Rentarou? Buy out the school to become the new chairwoman.
  Narration: And so, the lovers each went back to their normal everyday lives. But did you really expect things to go back to normal, especially in this manga? Good joke.
  • Which was unnecessary, considering that Rentarou detoured back to the mansion before going to school.
• During the anime's epilogue, the Vice-Principal pounces on her favorite victim, and Rentarou sidles on by trying to avoid her attention.

Chapter 23

• The chapter is called His Name. But the first page is titled "Meth's Name" with the girls doing a spoof cover of the movie.
• Hakari gathers the haremettes on the rooftop to explain that couples tend to enter a "fatigue stage" after dating for three months. Since this is the final chapter of volume 3, Hakari considers this equivalent to three months' worth of dating. Nano considers the duration to be six months based on Young Jump's publication schedule, while Hahari notes she's only been dating Rentarou for five chapters.
  • As a result, Kusuri has been tasked with producing a "Reborn As A New You Drug" to "blow this fajita stage away".
    Hakari: It's "Fatigue stage," Kusuri-senpai.
  • However, the drug-making process goes wrong and triggers an explosion on the rooftop. How does Kusuri respond?
    Kusuri: Ah, Kusuri screwed up, yep yep. Sorry.
  • Rentarou rushes up to the roof thinking there's no way they could have anything to do with it and sees a large smoke screen enveloping the girls. When the smoke clears, the girls realize they've all swapped bodies.
  • Zenzenzense, the main theme of a certain anime they're spoofing, starts playing, leading to whoever's in Hahari's body to frantically wave her arms as she demands the music stop playing Zenzen*se, or else JASRAC^note Japanese Society for Rights of Authors, Composers and Publishers will have their heads.
  • Rentarou straight up compares this scenario to Your Name, obliviously dodging the spoof names.
• One of the girls (Karane) comments on feeling heavy in their new body (Hahari), and the original body demands to know who said that.
• To list off…
  • Hakari ends up in Nano's body. Rentarou figures out whom she is immediately due to her acting clumsy as an excuse to hug him. Hakari is actually surprised and disappointed.
  • Kusuri ends up in Hakari's body and dares Rentarou to guess who she is. Except that she gives herself away by referring to herself in the third person, just like last time.
    Rentarou: Have you learned nothing from the kissing zombie arc a while back?
    • When Kusuri needs to pee, she tries to do it right there, until Hakari reminds her that her body isn't wearing a diaper, leading to Hakari shoving Kusuri to a bathroom.
  • Hahari ends up in Kusuri's body. Rentarou can tell by how she embraces being in the body of a cute youngster. While Hahari is rolling around all over the place, she says she can frolic around without a care in the world.
    Rentarou: I recall you doing that quite often in your normal body, though...
  • Karane ends up in Hahari's body. Rentarou knows based on her flustered reaction to being caught massaging her own breasts.
    Karane: I-I-I just thought that… it'd be a good idea to massage them so I could burn some fat and make 'em smaller, that's all!!!
  • Shizuka ends up in Karane's body. Rentarou is too freaked out by the chirpy smile on Karane's face to immediately guess until the person in Shizuka's body hands Shizuka her phone.
    Rentarou: It's like she's completely snapped or something...!!
    Karane: The hell's happening to my image!!?
  • Nano ends up in Shizuka's body. Even without process of elimination, Rentarou hearing her use the word "inefficient" from Shizuka is enough. Plus he's disturbed by the cold lifelessness in Shizuka's normally vibrant eyes.
• Shizuka suggests that headbutting each other will bring them back to normal. She tries it with Kusuri and, suffice it to say, it does not work.
  • Which just makes the actual Karane and Hakari complain about them injuring their bodies and that they'd make each other (Hakari and Karane respectively) dumber than they already are.
• Hahari suggests that kissing their prince Rentarou will cure them, which Nano hypothesizes is just her wanting to kiss Rentarou. Turns out, this works.
• Although Rentarou was initially disturbed by how dead Nano's eyes looked in Shizuka's body, when Nano is about to kiss him, he calls her a "cool" Shizuka. Nano even lifts Rentarou's chin as she kisses him.
• When Kusuri hugs Rentarou, she says the front part of Hakari's breasts feels good from touching Rentarou and starts drooling and trembling in pleasure.
  Rentarou: Your sexual impulse is awakening.
  • Kusuri says it feels like something is coming out, and she doesn't think it's pee. Rentarou quickly kisses her before she can get a thrill off of that.
  • In response to what they just saw, Karane calls Hakari a lewd schoolgirl while Hakari protests that she's just a bit sensitive.
• High-Pressure Blood sprays out of Rentarou's forehead from how cute Shizuka is in Karane's body. Shizuka is understandably worried.
  Rentarou: Don't worry. This is just my brain sweating. It's my brain's sweat.
• Karane punching Rentarou with Hahari's body doesn't have the same effect as Karane's normal punches.
• Hakari, or "Lovey-dovey" Nano, takes her sweet time as the last girl to be switched back, holding onto Rentarou and gazing at the "lights of romance" that Rentarou points out is everyone's souls flying through the air.
• Rentarou mentally screams when Hakari says she loves him.
• After everybody recovers, Rentarou says he prefers everyone in their normal bodies, and all the girls go for another round of kisses in their normal bodies.

Volume 3 Extras

• Some of Hakari's photos were edited. As in, she took pictures of herself naked with some carefully placed edits to hide anything explicit.
• "So, these are the bell peppers of a wealthy family...!"
  Rentarou: Are we in Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind right now?
• The other girls avoid the security guards by pretending to be cats. Even with Shizuka selecting passages talking about cats, the guard still falls for it.
  Shizuka: "Mewling could be heard."
  Guard: Tsk, that cat again?
• The girls still pretend to be cats while trying to dissuade Hakari from jumping along with the guard, and the guard still thinks they're cats despite Shizuka "talking".
  Shizuka: "You meowst keep living!" "You meowst!"
  Guard: This isn't the time for your yowling, you stupid cat!
• Rentarou's face can be fully enveloped in Hahari's I-cups! They're the equivalent of Karane taking about 60^*compared to other brands doses of Vitamin π!
  Karane: I'LL KILL YA!
• Hahari tried to remove Rentarou's briefs, but he was successful in defending the final threshold.
• The Hanazonos wonder if they're going to get a naughty punishment for trying to peep on Rentarou, drooling at the thought of it.
  "These two required an additional talking-to."
• When Rentarou meets Hahari in her office looking beat up, she asks him what happened. He says he was mediating a quarrel with Hakari and tripped into her chest. While Hakari was concerned, Karane was more concerned with knocking him around.
  • After Hahari pampers Rentarou for a bit, she says he deserves some "breast time" while lifting her shirt.
    Rentarou: IS THIS A DOUJIN, NOW?
  • Hahari says it's fine since it's a little reward for the bonus chapter and a reward for the readers who bought the volume.
  • When Rentarou actually seems to take Hahari's offer, it turns out it was All Just a Dream as a result of Hahari and Kusuri falling asleep while playing house, with Kusuri against Hahari's chest. Hakari is in the background facepalming in embarrassment.
• The girls notice Hakari and Karane Covered in Kisses in the morning.
  Karane: Just what're y'all staring at?
  Hakari: Is there something on my face?
  • Rentarou is crying Tears of Joy in the background, still thinking that what happened last night is a sign of friendship between them.
• Kusuri and Hakari are both jealous of each other's bodies now that they've switched back.
  Kusuri: (thinking, while hugging Rentarou) Mmmrm. Rubbing the tips against him doesn't feel good anymore. Hakari has it good with her body.
  Hakari: (thinking) She can just casually rub against him and it's no big deal. Kusuri-senpai has it good with her body.

Volume 4 (Chapters 24 - 32)

Chapter 24

• While shopping for a lunch to replace the bento he gave to Kusuri, Rentarou crosses paths with a middle schooler shopping at the high school store, who turns out to be Girlfriend #7.
  #7: There's no school policy that says middle school students can't come to the high school side's school store.
• #7 doesn't have her wallet to pay for the fried egg on toast, so Rentarou offers her half of his. #7 tries to protest, only for her stomach to say otherwise.
• As soon as she starts eating, #7 goes deliriously happy.
  Rentarou: (thinking) Who the heck are you!!?
  Rentarou: (speaking) Is that a favorite of yours?
  #7: Nah... but don't get me wrong, it's just that the guys sitting behind me were talking about Laputa^*fried egg on toast, or Laputa pan, is a dish that debuted in the movie Castle in the Sky, you see. And hearing them made me start craving this.
  Rentarou: Well... that sure is a sneaky way to get people to eat fried eggs on toast.
  • #7 then explains that her body digests food really fast, which causes her to think about food almost constantly and get angry whenever she gets hungry. Even seeing or hearing about anything that bears any resemblance to some kind of food will make her want to eat it.
    #7: Looking at a chalkboard makes me suddenly wanna eat tonkotsu shoyu ramen stacked with tons of seaweed. Being in the same room as someone named Yamazaki^*Yamazaki Baking is a Japanese food company and the world's largest bread-baking corporation. makes me wanna eat bread.
    Rentarou: That's a rough one.^*Yamazaki is also a very common surname in Japan.
    #7: And just seeing an apple makes me wanna eat a Mac.
    Rentarou: That's a different kind of apple.
• As #7 heads back to her school, Rentarou asks her name, but her returning hunger causes her to brush him off.
  Rentarou: Your energy consumption rivals Kirby.
• Meanwhile, the rest of the girls trade lunches with Kusuri to get a taste of Rentarou's bento.
  Kusuri: Rentarou's bento is so good, yep yep~!
  Hakari: I'll trade you some of my tamagoyaki for a bite!
  Karane: I'll trade ya some of my fried chicken!
  Shizuka: "Trade with"... "onigiri."
  Nano: Supplements.
  Hahari: I have shark fin soup!
• The next day, #7 is hungry for a menchi-katsu sandwich, due to them appearing in a popular TV drama series. But for that same reason, the store is sold out of them.
  • She then sees Rentarou shopping with her.
    Rentarou: There's no school policy that says high school students can't come to the middle school side's school store.
• Piecing together that #7 is hungry for a menchi-katsu sandwich, Rentarou mentions that the high school side's school store is also sold out of them. #7 decides to go to the convenience store, and Rentarou suggests she buy a katsu sandwich, since it's similar to a menchi-katsu sandwich.
  #7: How the hell are they similar? They're as similar as smooth and chunky peanut butter...!!
  Rentarou: Are they really that different?
• #7 tries to go shopping off campus despite school policy forbidding it, but all of the stores in the area are sold out of menchi-katsu sandwiches.
• Rentarou catches up to #7 and takes her to the high school kitchen, where she is presented with a menchi-katsu sandwich. Rentarou explains that he improvised a recipe using food that was available in the store after doing research, and he burned himself due to cleaning the meat with water and then frying it.
  Rentarou: My life flashed before my eyes for a second there...
• Touched by his sincerity to appease her appetite, #7 finally introduces herself to Rentarou. Her name is Kurumi Haraga. She then asks that he not add "chan" to her name... because now she's hungry for chankonabe.

Chapter 25

• By now, Karane is no longer surprised by Rentarou collecting girlfriends.
  Karane: Yeah yeah, what is it this time? Another Mad Scientist? Someone who's given birth before?
  Rentarou: The hungry type.
  Karane: Don't make it sound like she's some new class a game introduced!
• Kurumi bluntly tells the other haremettes that she doesn't plan on getting along with any of them; only Rentarou.
  Karane: Oh-ho...? Well, ain't that one hell of an intro.
• Kusuri and Hahari worry about getting along with Kurumi, but Hakari knows that the harem includes former enemies and believes everything will be fine.
• Nano says even though they're fellow girlfriends, getting involved with each other without good reason is inefficient. After the other girls express hurt over what Nano said, she adds that she spends time with them because she likes them. The other girls are so touched by this that they envelop Nano in a Group Hug, with Nano asking what's going on.
• Realizing that some people just don't like being part of a crowd, Rentarou proposes signing up the family for an eating contest in order to break in the new member. Kurumi and Kusuri are quickly sold on the dessert prize, but Kurumi wants to participate separately.
  • However, middle school students and below are required to be accompanied by a guardian. As such, Kurumi asks Hahari to pretend to be her guardian since the former's parents are working on the day of the tournament.
    Hahari: I'll do it if you call me mommy.♥
    Kurumi: SCREW THAT...!!!!
• On the day of the tournament:
  Announcer: No need to explain the rules here!! It's simple! Just eat, eat, and keep on eating, and you win!!!
  Karane: What a load of calories...!
  Announcer: Now then, allow me to explain the rules.
  Karane: THOUGHT YA JUST SAID THEY DIDN'T NEED EXPLAINING.
  • Said explanation is superimposed over drawings of the announcer in a wet shirt.
    Karane: THE HELL'S UP WITH THAT BACKGROUND...!!!?
    Announcer: Since the rules are so simple, we thought people would prefer some sexy drawings from Nozawa-sensei, rather than diagrams.
• Kurumi says she'll participate in every round, prompting Karane to lash out at her for devaluing them.
  Rentarou: If you're gonna hit someone, hit me instead!!
  Karane: That ain't enough to get me to snap 'n beat up someone, 'kay? How short-tempered do ya think I am?
• Rentarou decides to participate in the preliminary round with Kurumi. All the girls serve rice to Rentarou and Kurumi during the round, with Hahari being overly motherly to Kurumi.
  Kurumi: I don't remember asking you to act like my mom.
  • Kurumi becomes tempted by the side dishes, which won't contribute to the team's score. But Rentarou comes up with an idea and serves Kurumi some side dishes anyway. Literally halfway through her saying that she doesn't understand what Rentarou is doing, she's already chowing down.
    Karane: Yer desire for food's overtaken yer logic.
  • The other contestants are also confused. One of them calls her stupid, and Rentarou demands to know who said that with Hakari holding him back.
  • Karane asks Rentarou to explain himself, whereupon Kurumi starts making a big show about how tasty the side dishes are. This leads the other contestants to start grazing on the side dishes.
  • Rentarou explains that Kurumi can easily digest the side dishes better than the other contestants, meaning that he'll have an advantage in eating only rice. Karane is baffled that Rentarou can eat so much rice and nothing else, and Rentarou explains that all of his girlfriends serving him rice gives each bowl a different flavor.
    For he is a monster who just love, love, loooves his girlfriends. And it's pretty much the same for them, too.
  • Right before the preliminary round ends, almost all of the contestants have gotten full and are horrified by Kurumi and Rentarou still eating after all this time.
    THEY'RE MONSTERS...!!!! THEY'VE GOT MONSTERS IN THIS TOURNAMENT!!!
• After the end of the preliminary round:
  Announcer: Now, why waste pages drawing out a bunch of calculations? Let's just jump straight into announcing the results!
  Nano: Quite logical.
  • Rentarou's family came in third place.
    Karane: Don't go announcin' us right off the bat!! Is this really okay? We're the protagonist's team here.
    Rentarou: Come on, please don't get mad here, Karane-san. You should be happy!
    Karane: For real, quit treatin' me like I've got a short fuse.
  • Second place is the Gorira Alliance.
    Karane: Those guys again...!?
    Hakari: And here I thought they would definitely never show up again...
  • First place is one person: Takeko Superdeluxe.
    Her size makes her look like someone straight outta the One Piece world...!!!
    Nano: "Takeko Superdeluxe" is the current world champion and top prize money winner of competitive eating.
    Rentarou: SAY WHAT...!!?
    • Nano is actually trembling while talking about Takeko Superdeluxe.
• The final panel is another shot of Takeko Superdeluxe towering over everyone, with one person asking, "Is this perspective really the same as the one above us?"

Chapter 26

• Rentarou assumes from the announcer's claim of the eating contest being a long-established one that the first round will be ramen or hot dogs. The first round? Bubble tea.
  Rentarou: (This is basically pandering to selfie culture...)
  • Rentarou regroups with the other girls, feeling nauseous from the preliminary round.
  • Kurumi reiterates her intention of participating in every round, prompting amazed comments from Kusuri and Shizuka.
    Kusuri: You got a stomach like Dora*mon, yep yep.
    Shizuka: "I'm fairly certain the thing inside that"... "cat-like weapon"... "is not a stomach."
  • Shizuka volunteers to participate in the first round. After ten minutes, nearly everyone comes down with cramped jaws, but she keeps going. Rentarou realizes that she's used to chewing a lot due to having a tiny mouth. Like a squirrel. Shizuka's comically puffed-up cheeks are what sell it.
• The next round is ten pieces of sushi. Nano volunteers. Kurumi is slowed down by her need to savor her food, while Nano swallows each piece whole.
  Karane: Hold up, are ya... even chewing?
  Nano: Chewing is inefficient.
  Karane: Is yer throat made of a special alloy or somethin'?^note Unless your throat is made of a special alloy, please do not imitate this.
  • Nano gets full after nine pieces of sushi, causing Takeko to take first place.
    Karane: What's wrong, Nano...!?
    Nano: I ate too much... I feel like I'm going to throw up...
    Karane: But you only had nine pieces of sushi!!? It's 'cause yer always goin', "Nutrient-wise, supplements are more efficient," and that made ya a light eater...!
    Kusuri: Is your stomach as tiny as a medaka's!?
    Nano: Medakas have no stomach...
  • As the Gorira Alliance starts to catch up, Nano runs off and climbs up the announcer's podium, invoking her Primal Fear in order to stimulate her appetite, allowing Rentarou's team to take second place and leaving the Gorira Alliance in third. Everyone watching compares Nano to Rapunzel. Nano is unable to climb back down, forcing Rentarou to rescue her.
• The third round is "insanely spicy mapo tofu". Karane and Kusuri both volunteer for this round.
  • The food is spicier than they expected, prompting Karane to wonder if an idiot made it as a sick joke and Takeko forfeiting the round, calling it an insult to food.
  • The Gorira Alliance trained for this by setting off fireworks in their mouths.
    Karane: Are there only idiots in this place!?
  • Kusuri, however, shows no reaction other than convincing herself it's curry.
    Kusuri: Kusuri has to drink dangerous drugs that end up as failures all the time, yep yep.
  • Karane finally manages to push past her sense of taste when the Hanazonos wound her pride with her earlier overconfidence. Rentarou's team earns enough points to catch up to Takeko and Karane can be seen massaging her undercarriage.
• The fourth round is cake. The Hanazonos decide to take this round.
  • Hakari tries to demotivate the Gorira Alliance by saying she's worried she'll put on too much weight from eating so many sweets. While it does stop the Gorira Alliance, it also stops Hahari and Hakari herself.
  • The Hanazonos start eating again when Karane points out that the weight they'd put on would go to their chests. They apparently thought their breasts weren't big enough for Rentarou and push forward.
  • The manga is quick to point out the fact that Karane knew this. "For unknown reasons", indeed.
• Rentarou gives all the girls head pats while Kurumi and the Head Gorira wonder how they lasted for this long. Rentarou claims it's the Power of Love.
• As the final round approaches, Kurumi asks how long Rentarou is going to keep petting the other girls.
  Rentarou: Actually... I have to keep petting them or else... they're all gonna puke...!!
  Kurumi: So, looks like all of you really were forcing yourselves, huh. Where's that Power of Love now, hmm?
  • Kurumi points out that Rentarou still has his own nausea to worry about, which he brushes off, stating in a matter-of-fact fashion that his stomach won't feel better until his girlfriends do.
    Kurumi: On what principle?
    Rentarou: The Power of Love.
  • Rentarou's dialogue is printed with a thinner font as he says this.

Chapter 27

• The story thus far... they ate a ton of food.
• The final round of the tournament is ramen, with the points being doubled for this round. Neither Kurumi nor Takeko have lost momentum.
  Announcer: It's like they're D*sons!!
  Karane: What're ya tryin' to say? That they're vacuums that don't lose their suction?
• All of the Goriras are full due to everyone participating in every round, leaving only the leader to participate. However, the announcer says that teammates can jump in as they wish, and so all the Goriras jump into the final round... and are swiftly carted away in a fleet of ambulances.
  Announcer: We hope to see you again!!
• It's soon revealed that Takeko is secretly hiding a giant tank under a mask made of papier-mâché, thereby allowing her to cheat in the tournament.
  God of Love: This whole thing's on the level of Zorori.
• When Kurumi starts to feel full, she berates herself for not trusting the rest of the family more, partly because she's afraid she'll cost them the match, and partly because it would have allowed her to eat way more of the delicious ramen. Fortunately, everyone in Rentarou's Family jumps in to help her out.
• Takeko soon realizes that her tank is full, leaving her with no choice but to actually eat the ramen to be able to win.
• Eventually, both teams reach their last bowl with one bite remaining... And everyone is on the floor from exhaustion.
  Announcer: Both teams... are basically covered in blood...!!
  • Kurumi struggles to finish the last bowl by herself, so she's forced to feed the last bite to Rentarou per his instruction. Her face is in priceless emotional pain while he's just enjoying it.
    Kurumi: (Luminescent Blush) Say... A-... Ahhh...♥
    Rentarou: Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhh~♥
• Takeko and Rentarou finish at the same time, but Takeko throws up (with the vomit pixellated), leaving Rentarou's family as the winner.
• Rentarou and the girls receive gelato for dessert as their prize.
  Kurumi: Y-... y-yum yum~!!
  Hakari: Yum yum~!!
  Karane: What, it's so good that it stole all yer vocab?
  Shizuka: "Yum"... "yum."
  Karane: YUM YUM~!
• Kurumi apologizes to everyone for how rude she was to them earlier.
  Karane: Huh? Why're ya being so polite all of a sudden? Sounds gross.
  Hakari: I'll translate what she really means, "Just be yer usual self...!!"
  Karane: Could ya not make up translations for me?
  • Karane proceeds to glare at Hakari while the latter has a coy expression.
• After the tournament, Kurumi calls Rentarou behind the building to thank her for bringing her there and allowing her to grow closer to everyone perhaps. This leads her to start thinking about "pear halves",^note originally "duck soup" but before Rentarou can start looking for pears, Kurumi gives him a big kiss.
  Kurumi: I-... I might not hate this...
  Rentarou: Umm... you know I'm not a pear, right...?
  Kurumi: I'm not thinking about pears here.

Chapter 28

• Hakari's narration at the start:
  A stern personality combined with authority. Sometimes strict, sometimes kind. That is how she raised me. She's my mother, and I hold her in high regard.
  Hahari: Everyone, I made baby clothes for you! Please try them on!!!!
  But now, she's completely changed from the mother I once knew.…
• Rentarou actually tries to put on the baby onesie before Hahari explains that Kusuri developed a "become a baby drug."
  • Kusuri also has enough of the "neutralization drug" to ensure a safe experiment.
    Karane: Why're ya calling it an experiment?
  • Kusuri then explains that if they take the neutralization drug within an hour of taking the "become a baby drug", their bodies will be stressed too much and they'll die.
    Karane: THAT'S WAY TOO FREAKIN' RISKY!!!
    Kurumi: And who'd wanna wear those clothes in the first place?
• Hahari throws a childish tantrum about wanting to play mommy.
  Hahari: (crying Ocular Gushers) ...I WANNA PLAY MOMMY!!! I WANNA PLAY MOMMY!!! PLAY MOMMY! PLAY MOMMY! PLAY MOMMY! PLAY MOMMY!
  Shizuka: "She has even lost her words already..."
  • Nano remarks that Hahari has some kind of psychological illness, while Hakari lashes out at her mother.
    Hakari: Why are you acting so childish in front of others...? Would you please consider your own daughter's feelings a bit...!!?
    Hahari: Hakari... ...you're right. I really should think about your feelings here. But Hakari... while I am everyone's mommy... know that I'll always be your mommy above all else...!
    Karane: I don't think she's talkin' about jealousy here.
• Kusuri attempts to defuse the situation by playing fetch with a nearby cat using the baby drug vial.
  Shizuka: "Humans, that is"... "a game for" "dogs."
  • Predictably, the vial breaks when the cat fails to catch it. Unpredictably, the drug envelops everyone on the roof except Rentarou and Hakari, with the former tackling the latter away from the smokescreen.
• Upon seeing the other girls as babies, Hakari comments that it's like she and Rentarou did some babymaking. And a lot of it.
• Rentarou compares the baby girlfriends to angels while being carried off by real angels.
  Hakari: Those are the original ones.
• Baby Shizuka crawls away in a rush all of a sudden. When Rentarou catches her, Shizuka is scared out of her mind.
  Rentarou: I'm not gonna eat you, I'm not gonna eat you.
• Even as a baby, Nano is The Stoic and capable of inflicting Eye Scream on Rentarou.
  Rentarou: This is efficient in repelling sexual harassers.
• As Rentarou rolls around in pain, baby Kusuri is about to drink one of her drugs. Rentarou stops her before that happens, holding Kusuri and Nano in his arms and the drug in his mouth. When Shizuka crawls away again, Rentarou chases after her, too.
• Baby Karane joins baby Kurumi in sucking on Hakari's breasts.
  Hakari: Y-... you too, Karane-san...? Please... stop... we promised... to stay as friends... didn't we...? In my dream...
• When Kurumi and Karane start arguing over sucking Hakari's breasts, Hakari yells at them to stop fighting, causing them to cry. Hakari tries to cheer them up by offering her breasts, while Hahari climbs up Hakari's back and starts petting her head.
• The baby girlfriends find the sight of Rentarou getting thrown across the ground to be amusing. He ends up doing just that over and again to entertain them until they fall asleep. On the other hand, he's so badly injured that his face and parts of his chest are pixellated.
• After all the girls are restored, Hahari whines about having been turned into a baby with everyone else.
  Hahari: YOU'RE KIDDING ME!!! EVEN I GOT TURNED INTO A BABY!!! AND I WANTED TO SEE EVERYONE AS A BABY SO BADLY, TOOOO!!!
  Kusuri: This is bad, yep yep. Hahari's the only one whose mental age didn't go back to normal.
  Shizuka: "Ehh, that's how she's always been."
• Hakari apologizes for lashing out at her mother.
  Hahari: ...Hakari... no, I should be the one apologizing... I've been reflecting on how over-the-top I've been acting, too.
  Karane and Kurumi: Then what was that just now?
• Hakari tells Hahari that she shouldn't hold back, but then Kusuri finds some more "become a baby drug" in her spare diapers.
  Hahari: THEN LET'S USE THEM RIGHT AWAY! I WANT TO CHANGE ALL OF YOUR DIAPERS! CHANGE DUR DIAPERS!!!?
  Hakari: NEVER MIND! GET BACK ON TRACK TO HAVING SOME SELF-CONTROL, PLEASE!!!!
  Hahari: SORRY!!!! BUT COOLDOWN PERIODS DON'T APPLY TO MOMMY!

Chapter 29

• Having heard from her horoscope (Aries) that her lucky item is a flightless bird decoration, the Vice-Principal is chasing down an escaped ostrich, hoping to stuff it and fulfill her fortune by getting a huge amount of money and an ultimate deep kiss of happiness from the Delivery Host Club. The ostrich is crying in terror as it runs away from her.
• On the page where everyone is dressed as their roles for Kusuri's game, Hakari and Shizuka are dressed as mountains.
• Meanwhile, on the rooftop, Rentarou is wearing nothing but his swim trunks. Kusuri is curious, the Hanazonos are openly drooling and everybody else is blushing. Rentarou's non-committal explanation has Nano deciding just to forget it and move on. Because she assumes that he's trying too hard to please them and wants to leave things as they are.
• The girls are surprised at how similar Rentarou and Pentarou's eyebrows are.
• Kusuri making her Pentarou toy climb Shizuka ends up tickling her, causing Shizuka to "laugh" again by having her phone say, "She laughed aloud."
• Pentarou falls off of Shizuka's book and onto Hakari's bosom. Cue Kusuri's narration:
  Kusuri: Good thing there was a soft mountain there to break his fall, yep yep! A little more to the left [where Karane is sitting], and that would've been a whole lot worse, yep yep!
  Karane: You callin' me a plain or something, huh?
  Kusuri: A plain? It's more like a wasteland than a-
  Karane: At least I've got shepherd's grass growin' here.^note A plant that can grow in even the most desolate regions. Wanna see for yerself, huh?
  Hahari: Can I? I want to look at your shepherd's grass, Karane-chan!
  Karane: SHADDUP AND BACK OFF, MOUNT EVEREST.
• When Kusuri has Pentarou climb down Hakari's breasts, Hakari imagines a little Rentarou in Pentarou's place.
  Little Rentarou: Whew, we've got a whole lot of boobs here!
  • Hakari then pretends there's a tiny cave under her skirt, but Karane puts a stop to that, to Hakari's disappointment.
• Kusuri's not happy with Karane being a killjoy and decides to have some fun at her expense:
  Kusuri: Whoa!! The Straight Man monster, Karagon, showed up!!
  Karane: Huh?
  Kusuri: It's a being whose straight man routine knows no bound... It's the strongest and most vile monster who tries to destroy every funny man.
  Karane: Sounds more like that thing's just tryin' to maintain order.
• Genie Kusurin decides to take down Karagon, but unfortunately, in her child form, Kusuri is much too weak to land anything on Karane:
  Karane: Yer gonna get hurt, y'know? So knock it off, 'ka-
  Kusuri: Grrrr!! This is like going up against a wall, yep yep...!!
  Karane: (sends Kusuri flying) EXACTLY WHICH PART OF ME IS A WALL!?
  Kusuri: Uh-oh, it lost its composure.
• Kusuri decides to ask Mother AI-san (Nano), the administrator of the world, how to defeat Karagon:
  Karane: Don't give up on the conception of the world you've built. It ain't like this manga at all, with its outrageous drugs, fourth-dimension stomachs, and things that rival Mount Everest.
  Hahari: Karane-chan, please don't bury your head in the sand. My boobs are real.
• To get to Mother, Pentarou needs to ride a genie, and with Genie Kusurin defeated, that means it's time to ask Genie Kurumin for help. When Kurumi refuses to play along, Kusuri tries to force-feed Pentarou to her while pretending Kurumi is trying to eat Pentarou.
• After Pentarou "avoids" being eaten, Kusuri pulls out a piece of Hi-Chew.^note A Japanese chewy fruit candy
  Karane: Y'really think someone as stubborn as Kurumi would give in for one Hi-Chew?
  (Kurumi's stomach rumbles, and one Answer Cut later...)
  Kusuri: (now sitting on Kurumi, who's on her hands and knees) LET'S GO!
  Kurumi: (embarrassed, with stars in her eyes) Grr...!!
  Karane: What are ya, some lady knight of the modern age?
  Hakari: It's amazing how she finds faults in others so easily...
  Karane: Ya say somethin' over there?
• Nano suggests taking down Karagon by targeting her carotid artery, prompting Karane to ask, "Ya really tryin' t'kill me?" Kusuri's attempt to attack Karane's carotid artery just tickles her and makes her laugh. Rentarou and Hahari both gush over Karane laughing, with Hahari taking pictures with her phone. Karane tells them to stop being annoying while throwing Pentarou at their heads. The Pentarou toy actually has a tear in its eye when this happens.
  Hakari: Getting accustomed to the monster role, aren't you?
• Nano tries to show how it's done.
  Nano: Allow me to demonstrate. (Nano's hand approaches Karane's carotid artery.)
  Karane: You ain't demonstratin' squat.
• The next plan Nano suggests is to block Karane's respiratory system. Kusuri drinks the "neutralization drug" and goes through "sudden stock transformation footage" to assume her older form, before subjecting Karane to Marshmallow Hell. Kusuri got the idea from Hahari doing it to Rentarou.
• Karane's oxygen and pride levels drop to the point where she surrenders.
  Hakari: Uh-huh, uh-huh... that seemed to be pretty effective. I'll give it a try next time.
  Shizuka: "To him or her?"
  Hakari: Both.
  (Kurumi sweatdrops.)
• When Kusuri starts to play with Pentarou again, she suddenly stops as she blushes and stutters. It turns out 18-year-old Kusuri is embarrassed to be playing with dolls.
  • Shizuka blushes as a text box points to her saying, "The person who was quite enthusiastic to be playing with dolls at the age of 15."
• After returning to her child form, Kusuri is bemused as to why she's so embarrassed by playing with dolls, while Karane wonders how her personality hasn't collapsed, what with her mental age being such a roller-coaster.
• The only reason Kusuri thinks Hahari is the most princess-like of the current harem is because she saw her wear a dress in her own home... but Hahari doesn't know that.
• Hahari rewards Pentarou with a Briefcase Full of Money, to the bewilderment of everyone else.
  Kurumi: Hopes and dreams don't exist...
  • Suddenly, a gust of wind blows the money off the roof, along with Pentarou. Everyone is more worried about Pentarou. Except for Rentarou.
    Rentarou: THAT'S YOUR MAIN CONCERN HERE!!!?
• We finally learn why Rentarou was wearing his swim trunks. Rentarou heard from his horoscope (Taurus) that his lucky item is his school-issued tight swimsuit. If he was wearing his blazer, the wind would've blown him back too hard to catch Kusuri (Aries) after she jumped off the roof to catch Pentarou.
• Kusuri kisses Rentarou before declaring Pentarou and the prince lived happily ever after.
  Karane: THAT AIN'T PENTAROU! IT'S YOU, AIN'T IT!!?
  Hakari: And the prince already has a lover! Her name is the fairy Hakarin!
• Meanwhile, the other Aries is actually on the verge of death from getting kicked in the head by the ostrich.

Chapter 30

• While everyone is eating cookies together, Karane and Nano try to feed some to Rentarou, with the former accidentally putting a cookie in his eye again.
• The girls start complimenting each other's eyes, with Rentarou repeatedly interjecting with "I think so too!"
• Kusuri says Karane has strong eyes that look like a carnivorous animal's. Karane questioned if that was really a compliment.
• Hakari, despite living in the same house as Mei, admits that she's never seen her eyes and says she's always smiling. Then Hahari casually reveals that Mei's eyes are rainbow-colored.
  Karane: HOW IS THAT EVEN A REAL THING!?
• Mei kept her eyes closed so much that her facial muscles stopped responding at will. And has apparently never even noticed until Hahari asked her to open them this chapter.
  Mei: I wonder if my expression has become stuck from constantly smiling like this.
  Hahari: Not sure I'd be calling that a smile!
  • Mei's eyelids are shut so tight that not even prying them with her fingers (so hard that there's even a creaking sound) can make them budge.
    Kusuri: Gyaah! Stop before I get nightmares!
  • Unable to even pry her eyes open, Mei almost runs off to get a scalpel!
    Hahari: It's fine! You don't have to show them to me!
    Mei: Understood.
• Hahari says that Mei can sometimes be diligent to an outrageous degree. Kusuri asks Mei what she would do if she were asked to drink potassium cyanide.
  Mei: I would pour it down the hatch.
  Nano: You pretty much seem like an android.
  Karane: You're not one to talk.
• Kurumi lampshading how manga characters have their Eyes Always Shut when asking Mei how she's able to see.
• Shizuka suddenly raises her arms while having her phone say "Boo!" which doesn't even startle anyone. Shizuka blushes when everyone looks at her.
  • Rentarou realizes Shizuka was trying to scare Mei into opening her eyes, so he has an over-the-top reaction to make her feel better.
    Rentarou: Whoa! You scared me half to death!!
    Karane: Gah! You're the scary one here!!
  • Mei supports Hahari's back so the latter doesn't tip over from her nosebleed.
• Kusuri suggests scaring Mei by using the "getting-splashed-with-it-will-melt-your-skin-and-hurt-like-hell-drug" on her. Mei says she would gladly oblige if Hahari commanded it, but Hahari immediately says she would never.
• Nano decides that the most efficient way to shock Mei into opening her eyes is to suddenly shank her with a box cutter. Mei is still completely unfazed and calmly bows, thanking Hahari for the privilege of serving her, even before she (and the audience) learns that Nano retracted the blade.
  • Meanwhile, Shizuka starts crying out of relief that Nano didn't actually kill someone. Nano actually gets flustered trying to explain that Mei was never in any real danger, and both of them get comfort hugs from Rentarou a few panels later.
• Kurumi offers Mei a steamed bun, under the impression that it's so delicious that it would have to get her to open her eyes.^note Karane contemplates that it might have worked if it was spiked with wasabi or Tabasco.
  Karane: THAT'S JUST YOU!
  • Mei looks for Hahari's approval to eat it.
    Kurumi: What are you, her dog?
  • On that note, Kusuri plays fetch with Kurumi using a cookie. Seriously, Kurumi even eyes the cookie like a dog.
• Hakari pushes Karane (literally) into kissing her mother to make Mei open her eyes in happiness. Because what makes Hahari happy makes Mei happy. Karane asks why Hakari can't do it herself.
  Hakari: But wouldn't that lead to incest?
  Karane: How far are you planning us to go!?
  Hahari: (nervously) Please... be gentle with me...
  Karane: This family needs to shut the hell up!
  • Despite Karane's objections, she nearly goes for it anyway when Hahari's smell reminds her of Hakari. Just before it happens, Hakari quickly changes her mind and angrily pushes Karane to the ground.
    Hakari: WHY ARE YOU ACTUALLY GOING FOR IIIIIT!?
    Karane: WHAT DO YOU EVEN WANT ME TO DO!?
  • Rentarou tells Hakari she shouldn't toss people around even if she feels jealous. Hakari panics as she tries to deny feeling jealous while Hahari is crying over not getting to kiss Karane.
  • Hahari cheers up when Kusuri and Shizuka hug her, but seeing Hahari happy just causes Mei to shed a tear in happiness.
    Hahari: OH, LORD BUDDHA! I HAVE ATTAINED SALVATION!
• Rentarou suggests getting Mei to open her eyes by making her laugh. The Imagine Spot of Mei laughing straight up looks like Light Yagami pulling an Evil Laugh. Too much, honestly.
  Rentarou: I bet there are people who laugh with their eyes open.
  Karane: Yeah, they're called villains!
• How does Rentarou get Mei to open those bright eyes? By recounting a humiliating incident as if it happened to him, prompting Mei to laugh at him, before revealing that it actually happened to Hahari.
  • With Mei's Oh, Crap! face comes a look at Rentarou's face and—ZING!!
• After the girls realize that Mei has fallen for Rentarou, they offer to welcome her into the family, but Mei refuses to date Rentarou based on the fact that her master is also his girlfriend. Then Hahari orders her to be honest about her feelings, and she promptly asks Rentarou on a date.

Chapter 31

• The fact that Mei's able to drive with her eyes closed.
• Mei asks Rentarou if there are any places he'd like to go. Rentarou says he wants to go somewhere Mei likes. Mei says she likes Hahari and is about to go to the Hanazono mansion until Rentarou stops her. Then Mei says she likes Rentarou and tries to go to his house until he stops her again.
  Rentarou: Are we going on a real estate tour!?
• To get Mei to eat what she wants, Rentarou tells her he wants to eat her cooking. He assumes she won't be able to cook since they're at the park, so she'll have to compromise.
  Mei: Understood.
  Rentarou: No I don't think you have.
  Mei: (walking away) Please, just a moment.
  Rentarou: Uhhh...! No, I'm totally starving! I need something to eat in the next minute, really!
  Mei: Understood.
  Rentarou: No, I don't think you have!
  • In just 40 seconds, Mei presents a lunchbox packed with food to Rentarou. Rentarou asks Mei if she used a time machine, to which she says that is not one of the ingredients in the lunch.
  • It turns out Mei was so excited for her date with Rentarou that she made lunch for him in advance. She didn't tell him about it earlier because she wanted him to choose what he wanted to eat. Rentarou is touched by her "innocent, modest grace."
  • Mei filled the lunch with egg-based foods, which is Rentarou's favorite. She knew about it because Hahari told her.
    Rentarou: (thinking, with tears in his eyes) Those are some real employee benefits, right there...!
• Under Hahari's request to act as Rentarou's maid during their date, Mei asks if he has any orders for her. The manga lampshades the possibilities that would occur from a high school boy giving orders to a beautiful maid. But fortunately, the boy in question is Rentarou Aijou.
  "Here is a rough estimate of his thought process. (A diagram of Rentarou's head showing "Love" texts flooding his head, with "desire" at the center) Truly frightening."
• Rentarou obliges Mei and asks her to bring him a cherry blossom branch. When she hands it to him, Rentarou nervously smiles and sweats profusely as he realizes what he just did with her.
  Rentarou: (thinking) Uh... something about this feels wrong... Oh, I see. This is... how you play with dogs! THIS IS HOW YOU PLAY WITH DOGS!
  • Mei is even presented with dog ears and a wagging tail.
    Rentarou: (thinking) Any scumbag that'd treat women like dogs deserves to perish.
• Rentarou makes a point of Mei's loyalty and orders her to not help him at all. He compounds on this further by showering Mei with compliments about how the way Mei stands near him makes him happy and secure, making her move further and further away from him until she drives back to the Hanazonos' house.
  Hahari: Meido, were you not supposed to be acting as Rentarou-chan's maid today?
  Mei: I am currently complying with Aijou-sama's orders.
  Hahari: (phone rings) Huh?! Hello... hm...? For Meido?
  Mei: Hello. This is Meido speaking.
  Rentarou: Uhm, when I started wondering what you were up to, you got my heart throbbing.
  • This causes Mei to open her eyes in shock.

Chapter 32

• The title: "Soaking Maid Party". Thankfully it doesn't get as explicit as you'd think. Hahari dresses all the girls in maid outfits to celebrate Mei joining their ranks. Then she gets the idea of a water gun free-for-all. Note that she has hearts in her eyes while she declares this.
• The losers of the game make cute and sexy poses for some reason.
  Hahari: WHEN THEY ARE SOAKING WET, THE WORLD CUTS TO A PURE FANSERVICE SHOT!
• Karane questioning why they'd dress up as maids is followed by Rentarou thinking about how cute all the girls would look. There's a panel focusing solely on Karane before cutting to her and the rest of the girls in their outfits.
• Kusuri hits Rentarou with a "moe-moe-kyun beam" that engulfs him in an explosion.
• Karane bends backwards like she's doing the limbo to dodge a shot from Mei. The good news is the shot flies over her chest. Bad news is that she realizes why it flew over her chest, and her pose leaves her open to get taken out by Kusuri. That and Hakari coming to "compliment" her.
  Hakari: Impressive as always, Karane-san! There's no doubt that would've hit me cleanly!
  Karane: Oh-ho-kay, if ya wanna die so much, I'll gladly oblige!
• Hahari takes out Kurumi by tossing a luxury anpan over to her and shooting her in the head as she catches it.
  Kurumi: I'm powerless when my head is wet...
• Shizuka's description of Nano and Mei's shootout.
  Shizuka: "It's like a completely different" "genre" "over there!"
• When Nano decides to attack Shizuka, the former gets a face shrouded in shadow and Glowing Eyes of Doom as she runs toward the latter, triggering an unusually unsophisticated response from Shizuka.
  Shizuka: "Oi, ya tryna gimme a heart attack!?"
  • Shizuka frantically shoots all over the place as Nano approaches her while her phone repeatedly says, "I must ask that you take your leave."
  • Just as Nano is about to shoot Shizuka, the former suddenly gets water splashed on her head. Since some of Shizuka's shots were aimed upward, the water fell down onto Nano. Nano apparently forgot that they weren't using real guns along with the laws of gravity, much to her embarrassment.
  • As Kurumi congratulates Shizuka, she realizes the latter is wet, too. Some of the water Shizuka shot ended up hitting her as well.
    Kusuri: Hoist by her own squirt gun, yep yep.
• Hakari took no effort whatsoever in taking her mother hostage. Hahari, as she says, got careless:
  Hakari: Mother, I'd like to hug you from behind. Mind turning around for me, please?
  Hahari: For real!? Yay!
• Hakari is the last one to go down, and the only one Karane calls out for posing.
  Nano: Say that again after reviewing your own page.
• Everyone got wet by the end of the round, but Rentarou declares everyone the winner, and he gets wet after kissing all the girls. And the Hanazonos managed to get even wetter than they already were. The God of Love pushes the corner of the page away to say, "That's an awful punchline!"

Volume 4 Extras

• Cue another picture of the announcer in a wet shirt.
  The hell's up with this cut-in...!?
  Announcer: Since it's the end of the chapter, we thought everyone would appreciate a brand new sexy drawing from Nozawa-sensei.
• Karane wants Rentarou to stroke her behind. Hakari wants him to stroke her crotch.
• After the Baby Morph Episode, Karane and Kurumi, who sucked on Hakari's breasts while they were babies, found themselves drooling whenever they see Hakari's chest for a while afterward.
• The Vice-Principal suddenly comes back to life to French kiss the paramedics as she is rushed to the hospital in an ambulance. Apparently, her kisses suck the life out of people and dry them up. One paramedic is so terrified he bangs on the door to try and escape.
• Mei was initially content to just be a mistress for Rentarou.
• The extra story depicts how Mei and Hahari first met.
  • Hahari greets Kurumi with a perverted laugh while drooling. Kurumi says she'll sell the audio to the PTA, while Hakari is clearly embarrassed in the background.
  • Mei says the story of how she met Hahari was so heartrending that it clashed with the manga's tone, causing it to be cut. Kusuri initially assumes that means Mei doesn't have a past.
  • Upon hearing the first details of Mei's Dark and Troubled Past, one person says that's a lot of words you'd never hear in a romcom, a second asks if something that insane was actually in the original story, and a third says thank you to the editor.
  • Why did Hahari rush out to save Mei in the first place? Hahari says, while drooling, that she thought Mei was just too cute.
    Karane: You oughta have taken that to your grave!
  • Mei's reaction to learning this is, "I am well and truly not worthy of such praise...!" Karane's reaction to this is, "To hell with this dumbass master-servant pair!"
• Mei attempts to obey Rentarou's order to do nothing by leaving the volume altogether. Rentarou follows by ripping through the book's pages.
• The God of Love got soaked so he could show up twice in the volume.

Volume 5 (Chapters 33 - 41)

Chapter 33

• All the girls realize the number the eating contest from the previous volume did on them, except Kurumi, due to her being a Big Eater, and Mei, who wasn't in the harem during that time.
  • Hakari and Hahari look the most horrified of all, no doubt because of all the cake they ate.
  • Kusuri is checking her weight while in her older form, which suggests that she tried to cheat the weighing scale by growing bigger.
  • The girls tell Rentarou they'll be doing some secret "cuteness training" for a while. They force Kurumi to join them to avoid arousing suspicion, while Kurumi almost lets the real reason slip.
  • Rentarou buys the charade and contemplates that they'd be in Guinness before long.
• After Iku gets a ZING!! with Rentarou, she gets so flustered that she asks him to join the girls' baseball club.
• Iku is searching for eight new members (basically her whole team) for a practice game. And a loss will disband her club. Rentarou notes that this happens in manga, not real life.
  • The reason the baseball team is facing disbandment is because the team's determination to win the national championship led the rest of Iku's team to travel to America and train where the sport was invented. For a year. Leaving Iku as the sole remaining member.
    Rentarou: (thinking) There's tunnel vision, and then there's this...!
• Iku is counting her practice swings in the tens of thousands, and Rentarou wonders if her counting's glitching out.
• Iku details the pain she's feeling from her constant exercising, culminating in her saying, "Haahhn, it hurts so much!♥"
  Rentarou: You sure that sentence warrants a heart symbol!?
• Even though Iku is so exhausted that she falls to her knees, she still wants to keep working and hurt more, right up to her breaking point.
  Rentarou: I think we're past this being stoicism and well into masochism instead.
• After Rentarou offers to help Iku, she tells him to do practice swings on her stomach.
  Rentarou: Who in their right mind would join such a horrifying club?
• The next day, Iku believes she's fallen in love with Rentarou and is about to greet him until she sees him holding hands with Nano. When Iku confesses her feelings to him later, Rentarou actually turns her down. The pain of having her heart broken arouses Iku to an unimaginable degree, and she even thanks Rentarou for showing her this kind of pain. Then Rentarou suddenly vomits blood.
  • Rentarou noticed that Iku was watching him and Nano holding hands in the hallway... and that Iku was aroused from getting her heart broken. He figured that she confessed to him to get rejected and get off from the pain of that too, so he played along with it just to make her happy before accepting her for real. Although even pretending to reject her proved to be too much for him.

Chapter 34

• Iku's introduction to the girls.
  Iku: To establish my ranking... if it would please you, each girlfriend with seniority is free to paddle me with a bat.
  Karane: No uhh, let's not!
  Hakari: If you let Karane-san do that to you, your bottom would be wholly obliterated.
  • Kusuri, on the other hand, takes that offer.
  • And Rentarou's description of her.
    "Iku is a baseball player with a very stoic work ethic... and she enjoys experiencing pain, so yeah, bear that in mind."
  • While everyone is greeting Iku, Hahari straight up asks what color Iku's panties are. To the left is Hakari, who looks disgusted.
• Karane asks why the school's chairwoman (Hahari) can't do anything about the disbandment.
  Hahari: (Acting huffy) Don't act like I'm some irresponsible woman who simply throws money around to get her way...
  Hakari: Excuse me?
  • When Hahari answers that she can't out of fairness to the other students, Shizuka and Kusuri tearfully praise her as a model educator.
    Kurumi: Yeah, let's not get carried away. No way.
• Rentarou's answer for how the girls are supposed to win against an actual sports club. To which no further arguments were made.
  Rentarou: The most important part of sports is teamwork... bonds... or in other words love! AND ON THAT FRONT WE'RE THE ABSOLUTE STRONGEST!
• Kusuri wearing two pitch gloves.
  Rentarou: You're only supposed to wear one glove, Kusuri-senpai.
  Kusuri: But it's so cool...
• During practice, Hahari pitching a ball causes her breasts to start bouncing. The one catching it, Karane, pitches back in a jealous rage hard enough to launch Hahari into a wall.
• Hakari somehow catches a pitch from Kurumi with her chest by accident. Followed by Kurumi catching the return with her mouth, being reminded of an aluminum-wrapped chocolate baseball.
  Kurumi/Hakari: How exactly are you catching it...?
• While practicing throwing, Shizuka tries to pitch to Mei, but she ends up throwing the ball straight to the ground in front of her. Shizuka tries to retrieve it, but Mei gets to it first while sporting dog ears and a tail.
  Mei: It is quite alright. It is only a matter of chasing the ball down. Or rather, it is my distinct privilege to chase it down.
  • Mei is about to pitch to Shizuka until she notices the latter is petrified in terror, so she rolls the ball instead, to Shizuka's relief.
    Rentarou: Please don't jump ahead to practicing rollers on your own.
• When it's time to start practice swings, Kusuri is holding two bats and another in her mouth. Because it's cool. She can be seen doing Zoro's Oni-Giri attack a panel later.
• Rentarou tells Karane not to hold her bat like it's a weapon, and Kurumi, who's drooling with a Growling Gut, that it's not a novelty chocolate bat.
• The mere act of playfully swinging a bat makes Shizuka spin.
  Rentarou: Centrifugal force!
• Everyone is exhausted from training. Especially Kurumi, who's lying on her face against the ground and drawing "anpan" into the dirt. She's (literally) dragged into the school by Mei afterward.
• The next day, most of the girls are feeling very sore from practice, with Nano lamenting why she's a being of imperfect flesh and Kurumi twitching in dread at the thought of having to practice again. Except for Kusuri, who's as energetic as always.
  Hahari: The benefits of youth...
  Mei: Is this what you refer to in always saying "little girls are a national treasure?"
  Hahari: No, it's not. Though they are national treasures.
• Yesterday, Iku told everyone that she was going to stay behind for a bit to practice some more. When they meet her, she's still there doing practice swings, and counting in the hundred-thousands.
  Iku: (shakily) Ahh... everyone...? Evening! What's up, at this time of night?
  Karane: THE TIME OF NIGHT CALLED MORNING!?
  Kusuri: Even now, Iku is... still living in yesterday, yep yep...!
  Kurumi: It sounds kinda cool when you put it like that.
• Iku's eyes are so blurry from exhaustion that she says it looks like Rentarou has eight girlfriends. One person points out that part's accurate.
• When Iku collapses, Rentarou dives in front of her to cushion her fall, scratching his face a bit in the process.
• As everyone watches Iku as she sleeps in the infirmary, Mei asks, "Why would she go so far... if she was not commanded to by her master...?" Kurumi finds it worrying that Mei would think this was fine if it was given as an order.
• Take a good look under the bed when Rentarou drops in on Iku in the nurse's office.
  • Iku refuses to stop pushing herself despite working to the point of collapse. She restates as much to Rentarou as he tries to argue against it until he finally cuts her off with a simple observation.
    Rentarou: Right now, class is still in session...
    Iku: (despondent) I don't know what to say to that...
  • Iku asks why Rentarou is there if class is still going. He says he was so worried about her that he's been leaving to use the restroom every five minutes to check on her. He even went through about two liters of water between each class to keep his charge up. Iku gets a throb from hearing this.
• After everyone trains with Iku until it's nightfall, they resolve to keep training while Rentarou tears his clothes off to reveal he's wearing a loincloth.
  • Hahari hid underneath Iku's bed to secretly take pictures of her sleeping face, and she heard why Iku was training so hard before telling everyone. Mei praises Hahari's love for her students and calls it the height of compassion. Kurumi thinks it's more like the height of madness.
  • Someone asks Rentarou why he's wearing a loincloth. He just dismisses it as a trivial matter.

Chapter 35

• Rentarou recruited three sisters to fill the remaining positions on the team, but right before the game starts, all three of them caught a cold, and none of them know who caught it first.
  • Rentarou asks the opposing team's manager if Hahari, Kurumi, and Mei can fill in for the missing players, and she agrees.
• The name of Rentarou's school is revealed to be Ohananomitsu University Associate High School.
• The Opposing Sports Team is from Jurassic High, and all of its players have appearances and names based on dinosaurs.
• The opposing team's pitches are powerful enough to knock the bat out of Karane's hands. The catcher (Rapko) announces her and the pitcher's (Terano) nickname, despite Karane telling her not to give themselves a nickname, is "The Double Dragon Battery," with Double standing for "DOn't U Believe Losing's Escapable." Karane refuses to call them that.
• When Karane strikes out, she gets so fed up with the blatant cheating that she shouts "Screw this manga!"
• The side notes explain a number of baseball terms, treating such knowledge as Serious Business.
• Karane shouts "EXTINCTION METEOR!" when she succeeds in hitting Terano's "Tyranno Cannon" pitch.
• Rentarou and the girls manage to outsmart the opposing pitcher by bunting the balls, and they play with such ferocity that the Jurassic High players are terrified.
  • Kurumi starts eating the base when she's called safe.
  • Kusuri does an Unnecessary Combat Roll to catch the ball and succeeds.
  • How are they doing so well all of a sudden? By going "Super Smitten" after they found out Shizuka was mocked by one of the players in an attempt to invoke the mercy rule.

Chapter 36

• Just as Kusuri is about to be tagged out, she reverts to her child form and manages to dash under the first baseman's glove. The baseman accuses Kusuri of doping, but Kusuri insists her drugs don't improve athletic performance, which convinces the umpire to call her safe.
• When Hahari is up to bat, Hakari motivates her by offering her a kiss on the cheek—from Karane, which Karane doesn't approve of. After Hahari bunts the ball, she trips on her way to the base and slides there. It looks like Hahari is out since none of her hands are touching the base, but when the dust clears, it turns out her breasts are touching it, which gets her called safe. Mei is in tears as she tries to run to Hahari with a first-aid kit, but Karane holds her back.
• Shizuka manages to bunt the ball by holding the bat backward and clutching it to her chest. Despite the awkward stance, she manages to hit the ball with the handle because the pitches are that predictable.
• Seeing Shizuka desperately running to first base reminds the baseman of her dog that passed away, causing her to lose focus and miss the catch. When Shizuka gets called safe, the baseman hugs and congratulates Shizuka while calling her by her dog's name, much to Shizuka's confusion.
• The Tyranno Cannon: Full Burst is so powerful that when Iku hits it, the force is strong enough to blow her clothes off, except for her underwear. When Rentarou catches Iku's home run, the impact creates an explosion that cracks the ground and also blows his clothes off, save for his underwear.

Chapter 37

• Iku opens the chapter gushing to the other haremettes about her Big Damn Kiss with Rentarou in the previous one. Hahari Squees about how love stories are always fun to hear, to which Kurumi points out that all their stories are about the same guy.
  Nano: Could this be what it means to have a "husbando?"
  Karane: Well no, he's literally our boyfriend.
• Despite Hahari saying that she hasn't told Rentarou "I love you" much lately, Kurumi points out that she harasses the rest of them by saying it to them.
  Hahari: Ahh, well... The love I feel for Rentarou-chan isn't quite like my love for all of you. My love for Rentarou-chan makes me think "I want to marry him..." and my love for all of you makes me think "I want to marry them..."
  Kurumi: HOW'S THAT ANY DIFFERENT, YOU NUT!?
• After Kusuri says she loves Rentarou, his Gibberish of Love prompts Kurumi to ask if he's beatboxing.
• Iku trembles in ecstasy as she talks about how Rentarou helps her with club training.
  Hahari: That seems perfectly wholesome...?
  Karane: To you, maybe, but not for her.
• Hakari talks about how Rentarou uses his hands to pat her on the head, embrace her, and grope her chest. Karane immediately performs a German suplex on Rentarou as she demands to know what he's been doing while she isn't looking, Rentarou proclaims he's innocent, and Hakari apologizes as she said something she dreamed about by mistake.
  Rentarou: (while comforting Hakari and Karane) It's okay, neither of you are at fault. It's the author that's messed up in the head.
• Hahari accuses Karane of not taking things seriously because of the way she's been knocking Rentarou around recently. Thanks to the Ambiguous Syntax, Karane asks, "What, you want me to kill him next time?"
• Karane's "I love you" prompts a rant from Hakari, who thinks it's a copout to only say she just loves "everything" about him and not something specific. Recognizing that her daughter's being a killjoy, Hahari casually shoves Hakari's face into her chest before she can go on.
• With each declaration of love his girlfriends give him, Rentarou erupts into Ocular Gushers out of overwhelming joy. They get stronger each time, and by the time it gets to Karane he almost floods the roof.
• Rentarou responds to all the girls' declarations of love by citing every little thing that he loves about every single one of them - which completely floods the entirety of his text boxes. Across a two-page spread.^{Click if you dare}I love every single one of you from the tops of your heads to the tips of your toenails and I love Kusuri-senpai's energetic innocence and I love how cool

excuse just to stay in our company and I love how Karane is always folding her arms and I love how totally simple and honest Kusuri-senpai is and I love the way Nano sucked on my injured finger that one time and I love how clear Iku makes everything and I love the way sweat flies off of Shizuka-chan's head whenever she's worrying about something and I love Hakari's undue concern over her weight and I love Hahari-san's gorgeous and mature hairstyle and I love the smile Mei-san always has on her face and I love the pure gusto that Kurumi stuffs her face and fills her cheeks with and I love the sweater with the droopy sleeves that Karane wears and I love Kusuri-senpai's short little bangs and I love the way Nano's calm, cool, and collected demeanor makes my heart throb and I love how much Iku cares for her comrades and I love the way Shizuka-chan's legs flap around when she does the flutter kick and I love how soft Hakari feels when I hold her close to me and I love the sexy beauty mark Hahari-san has right under her eye and I love the way Mei-san is nice to absolutely everybody and I love the way Kurumi rolls her eyes and I love how handsy Karane gets when she's all fired up and really, I guess I just love every single thing about every single one of you...!
  • If you zoom in to read through it, some of the things Rentarou loves about his girlfriends include how Kurumi stops Karane from working herself to death as the Straight Man to the manga's insanity, and how they've all become totally desensitized to Kusuri's insanely-powerful drugs.

Chapter 38

• Most of the girls sing a song that reflects their personality in some way, with Kusuri, in particular, singing the theme song of her favorite show Pentarou. Rentarou offers praise for all of them, including Shizuka, who's still trying to pick a song.
• Kusuri secretly gave everyone her "makes-you-super-sensitive-to-cuteness drug" so they'll gush over her, but Shizuka gets to act first. When Shizuka starts singing, her sheer cuteness combined with the drug causes everyone to feel like they're being blown away, with the people who succumb to it getting launched into the wall making Yamcha death poses.
• When Nano is about to pass out, Iku offers to hit her butt so she'll stay awake. Even though Nano accepts her offer, when Iku is about to hit her, Nano reflexively snatches Iku's bat and hits her in the butt instead.
  Karane: Are you running a fully automatic self-defense system!?
• Mei decides to shield everyone when Shizuka is about to sing the chorus. The experience causes Mei to see herself in a childish drawing where everything has Shizuka's face, which she believes is the world Hahari sees. Mei succumbs shortly after.
  Mei: Aaah, to know a world so sublime.
• Kusuri offers to give everyone a drug that deafens them, except it's her "makes-your-ears-rot-and-fall-off" drug. The accompanying Imagine Spot shows Hakari smiling as her pixellated ear falls off, saying "Oh dear."
  Hakari: Use that on yourself, first.
• When only Hakari and Karane are left, Hakari laments she'll never have Rentarou's baby and she'll have to settle for Karane's instead. Karane insists she'll be the mother, followed by Hakari saying she was just joking and asking Karane not to declare her desire to bear her child. Karane says she meant Rentarou, leading to Hakari telling Rentarou that Karane wants to have his baby. Karane can only scream in fury before getting blown into the wall.
• Rentarou manages to withstand Shizuka's singing by joining her, but hearing both of them sing causes all the other girls to burst through the wall and get launched out of the building.

Chapter 39

• Rentarou meets #10, Mimimi Utsukushisugi ("What a Mi-mi-mouthful...!"), who immediately "grants him the exclusive right to court her" and takes him off to give him a makeover. All while ignoring Rentarou's attempts to respond.
  • Also, expressing envy towards him for being able to date herself, followed by her pulling a mirror out of nowhere and admiring her own face.
• The clothes Mimimi picked out for Rentarou cost "a truly exorbitant sum," to Rentarou's shock. Mimimi offers to pay for it, but Rentarou insists on paying for it himself while noting that even a speck of dirt on his white clothes would be a One-Hit Kill.
• Rentarou sees Mimimi eying his chocolate syrup. He offers some, but she fears spilling it on her clothes and getting sapped of her strength.
  Rentarou: You don't exactly look like Anpanman.
  Mimimi: That hero is a beautiful one too, is he not...? He who purifies the wretched avatar of filth...
  Rentarou: I think I'm gonna have to disagree with you there.
• Mimimi's reaction when Rentarou calls her beautiful? A satisfied and cute, puffed-up "But of course!" expression.
  Rentarou: (thinking) Well, reactions like this are less "beautiful" and more plain cute.
• When a guy gets annoyed by Mimimi's boasting and tries to ruin her clothes with his drink, Rentarou blocks it, ruining his clothes in the process. This gets the attention of a security guard, who's really passionate about his work.
  Security Guard: HEY! WHAT'RE YOU DOING!? HEY! YOU THINK A SECURITY GUARD WON'T SEE THAT!? HEY! HEEEY! YOU'RE DISTURBING OTHER CUSTOMERS! DO I NEED TO CALL YOUR SCHOOL!? HEEEEEY! IS THIS THE LIFE YOU'RE GOING TO LIVE!?
  Guy: Crap! I gotta dip!
  Security Guard: WAIT! DON'T RUN FROM SECURITY! HEY! YOU THINK THAT'S COOL!? I'M GONNA MAKE SURE YOU SEE WHAT THAT FEELS LIKE FIRSTHAND!
  • The official English translation renders the security guard’s dialogue with an exaggerated Cockney accent and dialect.
• The guy slips on the tea he spilled earlier, which even his girlfriend calls poetic justice, and bids farewell to his Sunday best, only to be saved by Rentarou pulling him up. Rentarou says he understands the guy only did that out of love for his girlfriend, and he could never hate anyone for that. The guy is so touched that he gets a throb.
  Guy: YOU'RE A REAL BOYFRIEND AMONG BOYFRIENDS, DUDE!
• After the guy apologizes to Rentarou and Mimimi and offers to pay for his clothes, which Rentarou declines since the apology is enough, the guy turns himself over to the security guard. The guard still shouts everything he says even though he decides to pardon the guy.
• Mimimi's confession is slightly shaken when Rentarou informs her that he has nine other girlfriends, not including her. She recovers quickly after rationalizing that she'd be girlfriend #10 - a milestone number.
• When Rentarou refers to his girlfriends as his family, Mimimi asks in shock if they're related, too.
• In the middle of her preening earlier, Mimimi does a Verbal Backspace and admits that one person is more beautiful than her, to which Rentarou thinks "Someone even more beautiful than her...!? What, like, Nano?" Come the end of the chapter, it turns out that's exactly who she was talking about.
  • Rentarou then apologizes to the readers for giving an accidental spoiler and hopes they'll keep reading the manga.
• After Nano accepts Mimimi's challenge to bet their place in Rentarou's family, Rentarou and Shizuka are suddenly drawn in the art style of Heidi, Girl of the Alps.

Chapter 40

• When Karane objects to Mimimi and Nano betting exile from Rentarou's family on the beauty seeking contest, Mimimi says the rules are formally recognized by the World Beauty Association.
  Karane: What kinda religion are ya talking about?
• Karane tries to get a word in while Nano and Mimimi list her beautiful qualities, but hearing all the praise eventually leads to Karane bashfully saying, "...Dahh, forget it...!"
  Hakari: It's not that bad to take a compliment every once in a while, now, is it?
• Despite all the time Nano and Shizuka spend together, Nano fails to list any of Shizuka's beautiful qualities because she keeps mentioning her cute ones instead. Nano ends up losing the round.
  Nano: A critical error has occurred in my higher brain functions...
  Kurumi: Amazing, Shizuka-senpai's so cute that she made Nano-senpai totally glitch out...
  Hakari: I can't believe her love backfired...!
• With Rentarou serving as the tiebreaker round, Mei takes his place as the referee, saying she will act as a perfectly impartial judge even if it kills her.
  Kurumi: That's a bit much.
• Mimimi calls Rentarou's eyebrows one of his beautiful qualities. Mei is about to reward her a point until Rentarou asks Mei if she's sure about that. Mei opens her eyes in shock when she discovers Rentarou's eyebrows are gone. Hahari cries in horror that his cute "browy-wowies" are gone while Kusuri asks "Who the heck're you!?"
• It turns out Rentarou shaved them off the moment Mimimi mentioned his eyebrows. Iku tries to shave hers too so Rentarou won't suffer alone, but Karane stops her because that would just make things worse. Karane is holding Iku so hard that it hurts, with Iku asking her to go harder, while Mei says Mimimi's answer is not a beauty because there are "no points for funny."
• When Nano praises the way Rentarou wears his uniform, he immediately tears his shirt and blazer off. Mei says it's not a beauty because there are "no points for crazy."
• Every time Mimimi or Nano praise one of Rentarou's qualities, he proceeds to get rid of it. When Nano praises his posture, he goes so far as to crack his own back.
• By the end of the round, Rentarou is bald, shirtless, wearing angel wings, Groucho Marx glasses with buckteeth, a sash that says "I'M A HUGE PERVERT," a short skirt, and a long snake-like thing poking out the front of his skirt.
  Karane: That's just an animal that used to be named Rentarou...!
• As Rentarou announces the results of the contest, there are close-ups of everyone, including the snake thing poking out of his skirt.
• Hakari realizes Rentarou allowed the contest to happen so Nano and Mimimi could air their grievances with each other, and Rentarou ruined his appearance on purpose so the contest would end in a draw so no one would be exiled. Hakari cries in joy as she calls it the most beautiful thing she's ever seen, but since no one else is privy to her thoughts, Karane and Kurumi just assume something's wrong with her.
  Kurumi: Get your eyes checked.
  Karane: Get your brain checked.
• Mimimi considers a tie with Nano to be no better than losing and prepares to leave, only for Nano to stop her. Nano makes a heartfelt apology to Mimimi for coldly rejecting her offer of friendship in the past and expresses a genuine desire to be friends with her. Mimimi accepts it under the guise that Nano finally sees how beautiful she is, and she will allow Nano the privilege of her friendship.
  Nano: That is not what I said.

Chapter 41

• Mimimi suggests having everyone kiss Rentarou because kissing causes the body to release hormones that enhance beauty. After Hakari and Hahari convince Rentarou to go through with it, the mother and daughter high five each other with confident looks on their faces.
• To facilitate the kissing, Kusuri gives everyone her "makes-kisses-feel-extra-amazing" lip balm. One person asks if that's just an aphrodisiac.
• When Nano takes the initiative to kiss Rentarou first, Mimimi praises Nano's efficient conduct as beautiful. Karane thinks otherwise.
  Karane: Efficient like a runaway car with brakes removed to reduce its weight!
  • The lip balm certainly lives up to its name, since when Nano kisses Rentarou, the effects are so overwhelming that Nano falls to her knees while saying "Hwew..." Mimimi is shocked on whether that noise really came from Nano.
    Nano: Is this what it means to be "weak at the knees...?"
• When Kusuri kisses Rentarou, she feels like every drop in her is gonna gush out, which leads to Kusuri peeing herself. Kusuri apologizes in a footnote.
  Kusuri: Even if I am in a diaper, I'm real sorry for doing this right up on him twice in the otherwise wholesome Young Jump, yep yep. I gotta apologize before the editor-in-chief spots this, yep yep.
• Hakari and Karane end up arguing with each other again while Hahari excitedly offers to change Kusuri's "diapy." Meanwhile, Kurumi is applying the lip balm to Mei's lips. Mei is worried her turn would postpone everyone else's, but Kurumi assures her that if they waited for "those idiots," they wouldn't be able to fit a kiss on the page.
  • Kissing Rentarou causes Mei to sprout dog ears and a tail as she collapses on her knees. Mei doesn't have the strength to stand, so she has to resort to crawling away on all fours, looking even more like a dog in the process. Kusuri even holds out her hand so Mei can shake it like a dog.
• Hahari is so overcome with lust after kissing Rentarou that she starts to strip down, causing Hakari and Karane to call her a "professional harlot" as they drag her away.
• Iku tries to stand up while kissing Rentarou, but the experience causes her legs to wobble so much that cracking sounds can be heard. Hahari fears that Iku's athletic career is on its last legs, leading to Mei pulling Iku away and bandaging her legs.
• When Karane kisses Rentarou, she hugs him so hard that she nearly breaks his spine. Karane claims she was just hugging him, but Hakari says, "Not even a monkey would buy that." Nano believes Karane was telling the truth, in that she was giving him a pro-wrestling bearhug, while Iku decides to judge for herself by having Karane hug her. Not only does Karane oblige, Iku confirms that it indeed hurts.
• Kurumi gets so enamored while kissing Rentarou that she starts to nibble on his lip. Rentarou tries to stop her, not because she's younger than him, but because Shizuka is watching them. Shizuka is covering her face while blushing like mad from the sight.
• Shizuka's kiss with Rentarou causes her to feel like she's floating away, before she really does start to float away. Rentarou is too paralyzed by the kiss to move, so Nano saves her instead. The face Shizuka has afterwards makes it ambiguous on whether she's happy that Nano saved her or dejected that her feeling of euphoria has ended.
• Hakari's mind gets so overloaded when she kisses Rentarou that she ends up scrambling "Rentarou-kun" into "Kuntarou-ren." This culminates in Hakari getting a nosebleed that launches her in the air, which Karane calls a "Nosebleed liftoff!" When Karane goes to check on her, Hakari mistakes her for Rentarou while calling her "Kuntarou-kun," to Karane's confusion. Then Hakari starts kissing her, prompting Hahari to snap pictures like crazy with her phone while Mei catches the blood gushing from Hahari's nose. Karane holds Hakari in a chokehold before asking Hahari if she saw anything. Hahari claims she didn't while secretly handing her phone to Mei, whose hands are still covered in blood.
• Everyone decides to keep kissing Rentarou until it's nighttime. The sheer number of kisses combined with the lip balm causes the girls to look like they're in a shoujo manga, while Rentarou looks like Michelangelo's David in a photorealistic style, with his nudity censored by Karane's word bubble.
  Karane: YA AIN'T EVEN A DRAWING ANYMORE!

Volume 5 Extras

• Kusuri using two field rakes on the baseball field because it's cool, and Rentarou raking while still in a loincloth.
• In response to the moment where everyone went "Super Smitten," the God of Love shows up wearing a pair of sunglasses asking if someone called for Master Roshi.
  Rentarou: Not a soul did, but here you are anyway!
• After the baseball game, everyone goes out for yakiniku together. Rapko looks sheepishly apologetic as she offers some food for Shizuka, while the baseman gives Shizuka a large pile of food while still thinking of Shizuka as her dog.
• Upon hearing all the girls shout "I WUV YOU!" Rentarou shouts "I WUV YOU TOO!" so loudly it can be heard from space.
• During the moment when all the girls were launched out of the building by Rentarou and Shizuka's singing, Rentarou zig-zagged through the air to catch all of them.
• The extra chapter is titled "The Birth of a Monster" and shows how Iku became a masochist.
  • Little Iku is a crybaby who gives up easily and actually complains about how much training hurts. Not wanting Iku to grow up into a worthless flake, her older brother Ikuya tells her she has to keep working even if it's hard or it hurts, or she'll never improve. He later realizes this was an irreparable mistake.
  • After Iku hits the baseball, she rationalizes that she got better when she kept doing it even when it hurts, so hurting is a good thing. She later practices swinging a bat until it's nighttime, thinking about how hurting is happiness.
  • Seeing a man on TV getting smacked on the butt inspires Iku to remove the front cover of an electric fan and tie a baseball bat to a fan blade, before turning it on and letting it hit her butt repeatedly. When Ikuya sees this, he screams in horror.
  • In the present, Ikuya notes it's been a while since he saw Iku do something like that, and how he once feared he accidentally turned his sister into a monster. He believes Iku turned out fine and hopes she'll live a happy life. In reality, Iku only stopped using the electric fan because it isn't strong enough for her anymore, and she has Mei smack her on the butt as hard as she can instead.
• The God of Love notices that Rentarou's appearance at the end of the beauty seeking contest looks familiar. Judging by the bald head, angel wings, and how Rentarou was trying to make himself as ugly as possible, this goes to show just how low Rentarou's opinion of the God of Love is.
• The Hanazonos whining, crying, and subjecting Karane to Marshmallow Hell, because her Straight Manning (speech bubble) blocked the "most important part" of the David-esque version of Rentarou in Chapter 41. They both came to regret this later on.
  Text: Afterwards, these two were knocked around so badly their artstyle changed.

Volume 6 (Chapters 42 - 50)

Chapter 42

• The chapter begins with a group of scientists discovering that the sun's activity is reducing. One scientist notes that even though so much time has passed since Chapter 1, there are still cherry blossoms in Japan that are in full bloom as late as Chapter 31. Another scientist asks if that's just because the author screwed up, while a third wonders if that's why that one night in Akagi lasted 19 years.
• Rentarou is wearing a wig and fake eyebrows since he shaved all his hair off back in the beauty-seeking contest. Kusuri demonstrates by removing them, to Hakari and Karane's horror.
• After Kusuri reveals she created a "hair growth drug," Hahari poses as the narrator and announces they will try out new hairstyles, which Kurumi calls her out on.
• Seeing everyone's new hairstyles arouses Hahari so much that she's drooling a waterfall.
  Hahari: Haah, egheryone'sh sho cyute I'm gushinh. (Haah, everyone's so cute I'm gushing.)
  Kurumi: Quite literally.
• When Hahari's hair goes out of control after she combines the "hair manipulation drug" with the "hair growth drug," Kusuri explains that Hahari's hair is running on her base instinct. Iku assumes that Hahari's hair will grab and stroke anything cute, but Hakari knows they'll engage in tentacle play, which is exactly why Hahari took those drugs in the first place.
  Kurumi: Right. Obviously.
  Nano: So this is the "bond between parent and child..."
• Kurumi pushes Mei and Rentarou out of the way when Hahari's hair is about to catch them, but she nearly falls down the stairs in the process. Fortunately, Hahari's hair catches Kurumi before she falls and gently puts her on the ground to stroke her... and then it subjects her to tentacle play, prompting Kurumi to call her a pervy hag.
• Everyone running in the hall gets the attention of another pervy hag, the Vice-Principal. Before she can reach them, she gets pinned to the wall by Hahari's hair, leading to someone shouting "Haaaag, nooooo!" like they're worried about her.
• Hakari pushes Karane out of the way of Hahari's hair, letting herself get caught instead. Karane grabs onto Hakari's hand in an attempt to save her, while Hakari urges her to let go. Not just so Karane can save herself, but because Hakari is in immense pain from getting her arm pulled so hard. Karane apologetically lets go and leaves Hakari to her fate.
  Hakari: KARANE-SAN, YOU DUMMYYY!
  Karane: JUST WHAT DO YOU WANT FROM ME!?
• Upon getting outside and seeing Hahari's hair capturing multiple girls, Iku says the artist has been itching for a chance to draw this, while Karane says it's the author who wants to see it.
  Shizuka: "Well now, aren't they just two peas in a pod."
• When everyone sees the car is unmolested, Nano notes that not even Hahari would lust for a purely inorganic object. Karane remarks that if it had anime characters on it, they'd be truly screwed.
• Everyone gets into the car, but it won't move for some reason. Rentarou assumes the car won't move because it's over capacity, prompting Karane to ask why the manga suddenly cares about realism. In reality, the car won't move because Hahari's hair is caught in the wheels.
• When Iku gets captured by Hahari's hair, it opts to tug her limbs just enough to hurt her instead of molesting her. It seems even Hahari's hair knows Iku is a masochist.
• Instead of following everyone else to the rooftops, Mei and Shizuka decide to distract Hahari's hair by having Mei continue to drive the car while Shizuka drinks the "makes-you-rabbit-like" drug to sprout rabbit ears. This makes Shizuka so cute that Hahari's hair only focuses on her.
• Hahari's hair wrapping itself around the planet. A "hairball" if you will.
• Rentarou, horrified by the sight of Hahari's hair engulfing the city, asks if it's all over. The ending caption answers on the same page:
  Thank you very much for reading! Please look forward to both Nakamura Rikito and Nozawa Yukiko-sensei's next projects!

Chapter 43

• The opening narration is surprised that the series isn't over and the ending line from the previous chapter was just a punchline.
• The announcer from the eating contest is reporting on what's happening, wondering what the substance that's covering the world is.
  Announcer: Is it a plant...!? A living being...!? And why does it smell so nice—
• After the announcer asks if this is the end of the world, she laments that she still hasn't released her debut single.
• Nano and Mimimi fight off Hahari's hair by Dual Wielding box cutters and hair brushes respectively.
• When Nano and Mimimi are captured by Hahari's hair, Rentarou is saved by Mei piloting a helicopter, with Shizuka tagging along wearing Cool Shades. Mei explains that the helicopter was originally intended for spying on Rentarou if he ever visited an open-air bath.
• After Rentarou helps Hahari get her hair under control, it cuts to Hakari and Iku still lost in ecstasy from Hahari's hair playing with them, even though Hahari stopped a while ago.
• Karane wonders what they're supposed to do with Hahari's hair. Kusuri suggests burning it, prompting Kurumi to point out the obvious flaw in her plan.
  Kurumi: That's a scorched earth tactic if I've ever heard one!
  • Funnily enough, that is how Hahari gets rid of her hair, by directing it into the sun.
• The next day, Hahari is shut up in her room, feeling guilty over all the trouble she caused. Rentarou gets Hahari to watch the news, which leads to some interesting revelations.
  • A surprising number of people want the hair to come back because it was "like being wrapped in the warm embrace of a mother."
  • It turns out that all the hair Hahari sent to the sun effectively refueled it, preventing another Ice Age from happening. That's right, Hahari's perversion actually saved the world.

Chapter 45

• Mimimi provides beauty classes for the girls, with Hahari wanting to learn how to reverse aging.
• Rentarou decides to do some light jogging, by which he means running 42 kilometers (26 miles)!
• We meet number 11, Meme Kakure, who's incredibly self-conscious about her face being shown. So much so that when a strong gust of wind lifts her skirt high enough that it shows her panties, she's more worried about keeping the bangs of her hair down. Hell, even when the wind is about to send a random sign-board flying into her, and the artist is angling it so that it can kill her.
  Meme: But my bangs...!
  Rentarou: But your bangs.
• When Rentarou saves Meme, he makes eye contact with her, but her eyes are obscured from the viewer by the "—" in the ZIN—G!!
• Meme explains why she was so concerned over her bangs.
  Meme: The feeling of people looking at me, especially at my face... is something I just can't bear... If my bangs aren't hiding me, I can't function...
  Rentarou: I understand... But your life should be the top priority.
  Meme: Yes... Very high priority... right next to my bangs.
• Rentarou comments on how memorable Meme's character design is. Turns out she deliberately looks the way she does to come off as a background character.
  Rentarou: You do know that these days eye-covering bangs draw attention more than avoid it, right?
  • Before she grew her bangs out to hide her face, Meme used to wear masks to school. Girl really doesn't know how to not stand out.
    Rentarou: I see. This is a way of life for you.
• After Rentarou calls her cute, Meme pulls a Ninja Log with a stuffed toy bear out of shyness. Since then she's repeatedly been disappearing out of his sight whenever he tries to say hi.
• Her initial disappearance also makes him start thinking about his girlfriends having superpowers.
  Rentarou: ...Is this her... "ability...?" ...Is that the gimmick this week? ...Do I need someone with dormant abilities...? I bet Mei-san would have strong powers...
  • For example, he guesses that Mimimi, who's wearing sunglasses to combat the then-dazzling sun, would have photokinesis. Out of sheer coincidence, the sun's rays reflect from Mimimi's forehead into Hahari's face.
    Rentarou: Wow, there it is. Well, I guess this ability is more ornament than dormant.
• When Rentarou checks his shoe cubby at school, he finds a letter and a stuffed Pentarou toy from Meme. Meme wrote in the letter that she knit the Pentarou toy out of gratitude for Rentarou saving her yesterday. Rentarou's Imagine Spot of Meme knitting causes his face to throb.
• Nano's description of Meme.
  Nano: A human with eye-obscuring bangs.
• While the girls are discussing her, Hakari estimates that Meme has G-cup breasts. You know, just like her. And naturally she uses this as an opportunity to screw with Karane just 'cause.
  Karane: Shaddap already with the jeeejeees! Ya pretending to be a cicada!?
• Rentarou confesses to Meme, which makes her disappear in embarrassment yet again... This time for good. The chapter ends with an empty hallway, with the narration stating that no one would see Meme ever again and that she was the one person Rentarou could not save. The ending blurb even says the manga will be retitled "The 99 Girlfriends Who Really, Really, Really, Really, Really Love You" in the next chapter... except not really. Because Rentarou responded by tearing the page out before rushing to find her.
  Rentarou: RRAAGHH! I'M GONNA FLIP THIS MISERABLE SCRIPT!
• After searching everywhere in the school for Meme, Rentarou realizes that she's been actively changing her hiding spot. The only way she could do that without bumping into him is if she always knew where he was. That's when Rentarou figures out Meme was hiding behind him the whole time.
• Rentarou resorts to shaking his head wildly in order to find Meme, while Meme apparently bounces off the walls and the ceiling to avoid his gaze.
• Hakari's breast-promotion/shaming comes back to bite her at the end of the chapter. As part of her "not-wanting-to-be-noticed" schtick, Meme wears a minimizing bra. Which snaps and reveals that her bust is even bigger than Hakari's estimate of G. Followed by her disappearing yet again off-panel.
  Narration: Her true power level surpasses even "G"—
  • To salt the karmic wound some more, Karane happily "comforts" Hakari as the latter bites her thumb in frustration.
    Karane: Don't let it get to ya!

Chapter 46

• Rentarou tries to introduce Meme like he usually does, except she's already gone.
  Karane: Ain't no one there to accept.
• Meme knitted gifts for everyone based on what Rentarou told her about them. One of them happens to be a mini diaper for Hahari, which she really enjoys.
• After Rentarou proposes they all play hide-and-seek, he seems to suggest that the winner will get a kiss from him, but it was actually from Hahari, who was hiding behind him. Rentarou tells Hahari not to add her own rules while she does a "Silly Me" Gesture.
• Hakari and Karane spend so much time arguing over who gets a hiding place that when they hear Rentarou coming, they both hide in the same spot...in a 69 position. The close contact between Hakari's thighs and Karane's cheeks arouses each other so much that they can't take it anymore and decide to reveal themselves.
• Hahari's scent and breasts remind Kurumi of sakura daifuku, stimulating her hunger to the point where she starts sucking on Hahari's breast. Hahari is so excited that she leaps for joy, scattering the table and chairs at their hiding spot. Hakari is looking away in disgust at the sight.
• When the Vice-Principal runs off declaring her intent to grab the athletics clubs' used underwear, Hahari wonders if she should fire her from her job. Kurumi says, "You can go with her."
• Rentarou realized that Meme was hiding in the Vice-Principal's hair because it looked much bigger than her usual design. Hakari points out that the Vice-Principal doesn't show up very often, so her design isn't that consistent.
• After Rentarou kisses Meme by surprise, she's so flustered that she disappears without even making a sound. Mimimi looks back and asks Rentarou what he's talking about on his own.

Chapter 47

• Mei feels that with all the happiness in her life these days, her debt to Hahari for saving her life has become tremendously large.
  Hakari: With all that you do every day, Mei-san, I'd say you've already paid it back...
  Kusuri: With interest, yep yep.
  Shizuka: "Paid back tenfold."
• Since the debt of gratitude Mei owes Hahari is so large, the first thing she thinks of when looking for a gift for the latter is land or an apartment complex because they're both large.
  Rentarou: Only grade schoolers actually wish for something large in the literal sense.
• While Rentarou and Mei are picking out clothes to buy for Hahari, Mei repeatedly gasps at the thought of Hahari wearing them, while Rentarou gasps at Mei's reaction. The shop manager gasps and cries Tears of Joy at seeing them enthralled by the merchandise. This repeats at several more stores, only with the volume turned on.
• Rentarou asks what Mei thinks she should pick out for Hahari. No right or wrong answers.
  Mei: (Happily) I shall sell my organs-!
  Rentarou: I would call that a wrong answer.
  Mei: (Quizzical Tilt) ...Was it not that "there are no right or wrong answers...?"
  Rentarou: There are exceptions to everything.
  • Rentarou then forbids anything involving organs in general when Mei thinks about selling her own to get Hahari an apartment complex. When Mei says her organs belong to Hahari because the latter saved her, Rentarou convinces Mei to not sell her organs because she can't sell them without Hahari's permission. Mei opens her eyes as she thinks, "This is true."
• Mei eventually decides on a handkerchief. Which a young girl accidentally launches an ice cream cone into after tripping over. The child offers up her life as penance. Which Mei politely declines. Because it didn't belong to Hahari yet.
  Rentarou: This kid is an avatar of accountability.
  • Rentarou questions if she would've accepted the girl's death as compensation if it had been Hahari's. Mei never provides an answer.
  • Because the handkerchief came from Belgium, Rentarou tries to go there to replace it.
• Mei finally decides on a wonderful gift for her master: Rentarou. Wrapped in a giant bow. Cue a huge Beat. Then...
  Hahari: FOR REAL!?
  Mei: For quite real, indeed. Rentarou-sama has agreed to be your present for the span of one hour—
  Hahari: (Leaps from her chair) WHOOOOHOOOOOOO!
  • Predictably, Hahari immediately pulls down Rentarou's pants, but he saw this coming and sealed himself in a chastity belt (which Hahari comments looks like Astro Boy's trunks) and will stay that way for the next hour.
    Hahari: (crying in frustration) SOMEBODY CALL FOR CHAINSAW MAN!
    Rentarou: We may both be published by Shueisha, but he's definitely not coming.
    • And any fan that's read Chainsaw Man knows that calling Denji would've probably made the situation worse.
  • The belt also has a defense mechanism set to skewer his groin if he gets aroused, just in case Hahari tries anything else. She's more appalled by the idea of that happening than the fact that he went that far.
  • Instead, she has Rentarou Dragged into Drag and do a cross-dressing fashion show. Rentarou is exactly as embarrassed as he was the last time she got him to do it, and by the end Hahari has suffered a nosebleed so bad that she's passed out in a pool of her own blood.
• Hahari asks Mei for a final gift, something she never asked for because it would be an abuse of her power and something she's asking for now as a friend: A smooch.
  Mei: (blushing with dog ears) If... If that is what Hahari-sama... wants...
  Hahari: I want, I want, I weally weally want!
  Rentarou: (Aww, such close friends.)
• And so Mei complies… and spurts out blood before she can actually kiss Hahari.
  Mei: Please, pay that no mind. I am simply being wracked with guilt at the thought of soiling your honored lips, which is causing my stomach to rend itself apart. There is nothing to worry about.
  Hahari: No, I'm pretty worried!
• While Mei and Rentarou were shopping, she got a gift for Rentarou as well: a dogū.
  • For a very brief moment, Rentarou was disappointed by Mei's gift, but he quickly decides he's too happy to care and declares he'll make it his heirloom.
  • Mei got the dogū for Rentarou because he always talked about how "closed eyes look so adorable." The narration points out he was probably talking about Mei.
• After Mei thanks Rentarou for making her so happy, Rentarou says he should be the one saying that. This results in the two of them each insisting they should be saying thanks until it turns into them saying "Me" and "I." They both laugh at the Accidental Pun.
• When Rentarou and Mei kiss, Hahari gets another nosebleed as she watches them and says, "Happily ever after!"

Chapter 48

• When Karane eats Rentarou's heart-shaped shortbread seemingly without gratitude, he asks, "Am I being mugged?"
• Karane feeds Rentarou a heart-shaped short-bread...or attempts to anyway. She's too shy to even look at him while doing it and jams one into his eye. Rentarou's not even hurt.
  Rentarou: It's tasty.
  Nano: So this is what "A feast for the eyes" means...
• After Kusuri loses to Iku in sumo wrestling (with Mei as referee), the former announces she'll reveal her true form with her negation drug, prompting Iku to ask if Kusuri is the final boss in a Dragon Quest game.
• Apparently, Iku's masochism extends to playing incredibly hard video games, as she describes the second lap of Ghosts 'n Goblins as "the absolute peak."
• As Iku and Kusuri wrestle again, Hahari tilts her head to look at Iku's butt, which only Mimimi notices.
• During the match, Iku shoves Kusuri into Karane, who just took Kusuri's "Tsundere Unmaker" Drug and isn't angry about it. In fact, Karane's polite response is mistaken for Tranquil Fury.
  Kusuri: AM I GOING TO GET KILLED FOR REAL, YEP YEP!?
  • Hakari and Hahari's horror toward Karane calling Rentarou "Kun." Also, Hahari is taking pictures of her.
• With the discovery that Karane lost her strength along with her tsundere-ness, Iku has her paddle her as a test. Karane's swing is so weak that it sends Iku into a depression and has her sulk in the background.
• Hahari suggests smooching Karane as a test.
  Kurumi: As a test for what?
• Hakari calls her mom out for harassing the "perfectly average girl". Then she lets Karane touch her breasts to fuel her own ego.
  Hahari: NOW WHO'S GOING TOO FAR AND HARASSING HER!?
  • Hahari says while taking snapshots of the two.
• Nano says that this Karane "is much less roundabout and much more efficient than the usual one."
• Upon seeing Karane knitting with Meme and Shizuka, Hahari wonders, "Is this paradise...?" before Giving Up the Ghost, requiring Mei to run off to retrieve it.

Chapter 49

• When Karane decides she wants to be a tsundere again, Kusuri makes the "tsundere maker drug" on the very next panel.
  Shizuka: "One" "panel was all it took."
  Nano: This manga is highly efficient.
  Kurumi: Highly sloppy is what I'd call it.
• After Karane takes the "tsundere maker drug," she thanks Kusuri for turning her back into a tsundere... with a cheery expression that makes it clear it didn't work at all.
  Kusuri: You ain't back even by a millimeter.
• To cover up for Karane's "tsundere loss", as Hahari put it, so that Karane's parents don't get suspicious, Meme suggests that she just act like a tsundere. Karane asks Meme to compliment her for practice, and when she does, Meme pulls her vanishing act.
  • Some of the things Meme compliments about Karane are her "wonderfully sharp eyes... and teeth..."
  • To add insult to injury, Karane acts more blatantly flattered than embarrassed.
    Karane: (smiling) It... it's not like hearing that makes me happy, or anything!
    Mimimi: Truly unimpressive.
    Hakari: I'm pretty sure she's always been this easy.
• When the above fails, Hahari offers to let Karane stay at her place. You'd assume this would simply be a kind gesture... but then you see Mei jumping up and waving to cover Hahari's speech bubble, which consists of a perverted giggle. Followed by Rentarou volunteering to visit too, and you're reminded what kind of person Hahari is.
  Mei: Ma'am, your ulterior motives are showing.
  • "And sure enough, what one may expect did indeed come to pass."
    Hahari: Karane-chaaan! Come with me to the baaath! We've gotta wash each other all over!
  • Rentarou comes to Karane's defense and tells Hahari that she'll have to kill him to get to her... but then they both bond over agreeing they couldn't fight each other and start smooching.
• Rentarou attempts to stimulate Karane's "tsundere response" through acts of affection that normally embarrass her. While Hakari worms her way in for affection.
  • After Rentarou tells Karane he loves her more than anyone else does, Karane happily says, "I love you too! More than anyone!" Rentarou proceeds to say the same thing to Karane with an equally happy face. Then Hakari says it to Rentarou and he says it again. This is followed by a close-up of Rentarou with the same expression yelling, "Wait, no! This won't work!"
  • Next, Rentarou hugs Karane and asks her how she feels. She says she feels really happy, followed by Rentarou saying, "I'm really happy too!" Hakari then squeezes herself through Rentarou's arms so he'll hug her too before she and Rentarou repeat what he just said. This ends with Rentarou in a Pose of Supplication lamenting his plan's failure.
  • Hakari drools as she thinks to herself that inserting herself into the flow of flirting allowed her to get a clean taste of Rentarou, calling it the perfect plan.
• Hakari gives a passionate speech saying the only way Rentarou can truly embarrass Karane is to grope her chest, with the text boxes stating Hakari just wants to have hers groped. Rentarou eventually relents but insists on wearing Iron Man's gloves (which are pixellated) so he won't feel anything.
  • When Rentarou starts groping Karane, she says it feels amazing, much to Hakari's disbelief.
    Hakari: What are you, a girl!?
    Rentarou: Hakari, Karane's always been a girl.
  • Hakari then has Rentarou grope her to show Karane how she should react. Her reaction is to show far more pleasure than Karane did.
    Hakari: It... it feels just sooo goooooood!♥♥♥
• While Hakari and Karane take a bath, Hakari tries to embarrass her through Skinship Grope, but Karane just feels good instead. This leads to Karane insisting that Hakari is good at this while Hakari repeatedly denies it.
• Hahari is outside the bathroom lying in a pool of blood from her nosebleed after peeping on Hakari and Karane. She's lost so much blood that Mei has to get the blood transfusion team to help Hahari. One maid's reaction makes it clear this isn't the first time this has happened.

Chapter 50

• When Rentarou tells everyone he came up with his plan to restore Karane's tsundereness while staying with the Hanazonos, Nano says there's a high chance the plan is lewd in some way while Kurumi is covering Shizuka's ears.
• After Rentarou reveals the plan is for everyone to transfuse their tsundere factor into Karane, Meme asks if that's even possible. Kusuri gives a vaguely reassuring answer.
  Kusuri: It is in theory, yep yep. So yeah, it could probably maybe work, hopefully.
  Kurumi: In other words, you have no clue.
• Rentarou warns that directly transferring everyone's tsundere factor into Karane in her current state could cause her body to fly apart. The accompanying image shows Karane's smiling, disembodied head surrounded by specks of blood. The actual Karane is shivering in terror, while Kurumi asks if it's like Vegeta's Dirty Fireworks.
• To avoid that, Rentarou will absorb the tsundere factor first so he can stabilize it before giving it to Karane. Rentarou describes himself as the Goku in this Spirit Bomb (with Hakari announcing she'll be Chi-Chi), while Karane will be Majin Buu. Considering the Spirit Bomb killed Majin Buu, Kurumi asks if Rentarou is trying to kill Karane.
• Shizuka and Iku ask if it's safe for Kurumi to participate in the transfusion process, since she has tsundere energy, too. Kusuri says Kurumi's disposition is due to the "hangry factor," so she'll be fine.
  Kurumi: Stop it with the smorgasbord of random concepts.
• Generating the tsundere factor requires all the other girls to act like tsunderes, which basically consists of them holding their finger out and saying, "It-It's not like I X, or anything!"
  • When Hakari says, "It-It's not like I desperately want to have your babies, or anything!" Rentarou seems to react badly to it. Hakari tries to backpedal and claim she really wants to have "lots of wild and crazy—" before Rentarou says it's really charming when Hakari doesn't act like her usual self.
  • Rentarou makes funny grunting noises every time one of the girls acts like a tsundere, with two exceptions.
    Kusuri: It-It's not like I whipped this up for you, or anything!
    Rentarou: THANK YOU FOR THE MEAL!
    ...
    Mimimi: It-It is, naturally, not as though I am truly beautiful, or anything!
    Rentarou: YES, YOU ARE!
  • Nano misses the point of being a tsundere by just saying, "There is no real meaning to spending time with you." Rentarou asks, "What happened to the loving dere!?" before blood comes out of his mouth. Nano fortunately gets it right on the second try (while looking the most awkward and artificial of the girls.)
• As Karane is absorbing the tsundere factor, everyone cheers her on by talking about why they want her to be a tsundere again. Nano says, "Without you, we lack key combat personnel."
• When Karane becomes a tsundere again, everyone envelops her in a Group Hug, which embarrasses her so much that she tosses them all onto the ground.
• Karane nervously says thanks to everyone, which makes everyone think she still isn't a tsundere. Hakari says she's still "beautiful Karane-san," Kusuri asks "Who the heck're you?" and Iku says "This really hurts..." with complete sincerity.
  Karane: I'm never actin' nice ever again!

Volume 6 Extras

• Mimimi getting a haircut... from Mei. Despite Mimimi's protests, Mei can cut hair perfectly too.
• Hahari's hair caught up with Mei and Shizuka... and unlike everyone else, they only get tickled (to Kurumi's irritation). Even when down to her most basic instincts, even Hahari isn't that depraved.
• Kusuri gets a hold of Mimimi's makeup tools. Mimimi isn't pleased with what she does with herself and Nano.
  Mimimi: GAAAHH! PLEASE, DESIST AT ONCE!
• Mimimi and Kusuri playing Shiritori^note  a Japanese word game where you have to say a word which begins with the final kana/letter of the last word during the hide-and-seek game.
  Mimimi: "P..." Pearls, naturally.
  Kusuri: "Y..." Yohimbine, yep yep.
  Mimimi: "P..." Perfection, naturally.
  Kusuri: "Y..." Yttrium, yep yep.
• Having decided on her present for Hahari, Mei asks the clothes service attendant to have Rentarou gift-wrapped.
  Mei: If I may ask, is it possible to have this gift-wrapped?
  Text: They did it themselves.
• Non-tsundere Karane arouses Hakari just by washing her back.
  Karane: But I'm just touching you normally!?
  Text: Hakari's entire body is sensitive due to her daily pursuit of knowledge.
• Miss "Never Acting Nice Ever Again" (Karane) kisses Rentarou and says she loves him, while Hakari and Hahari think, "What a flirt."
• Meme is incredibly shy even as a baby. When her parents keep gushing over how cute she is, baby Meme uses her teddy bear as a Ninja Log and disappears. After taking a moment to process what happened, Meme's parents have a massive Freak Out and scream her name repeatedly as they desperately try to find her, with Meme's father going so far as to perform a Super Window Jump.
  • Back in the present, when Meme's mother asks Meme if she fell in love and presses her on it, the latter is so embarrassed that she disappears, causing her parents to have another Freak Out as they presumably tear their house apart trying to find her. They're so freaked out that one of them switches "Meme-chan" for "Chan-Meme".
• The God of Love got his wish to appear more... as a simple drawing. The God of Love wants Nozawa-sensei to draw him while complaining he's not supposed to look like a scribble. When the same drawing is posted again with a hazy outline, he demands the artist at least draw something slightly different.
