Recap / The 100 Girlfriends Who Really Really Really Really Really Love You Ch 014

Go To

Hakari invites Rentarou and the girls to a park hosting a monthly bouquet toss. Whoever catches the bouquet will get a picture with their lover dressed in wedding apparel. The group decides to participate, with Hakari having wanted to wear the special dress since she was a child.

Also participating in the bouquet toss is the Gorira Alliance, a Japanese motorcycle gang formed in the early 21st century. With this in mind, Hakari proposes working together and deciding the winning girl after the bouquet toss is over, and so Rentarou christens his group "Rentarou's Family".

Shizuka is asked to stand on the sidelines to avoid getting hurt, and Kusuri drinks the neutralization drug to age herself up for the bouquet toss, which is being launched by the vice principal.

With the bouquet in motion, the Goriras begin throwing each other at the other contestants, covering up their actions as "training". Karane steals one of their capes so she can join the group and fight them off. In response, the Alliance unleashes a gust of wind that blasts Shizuka into the air, allowing her to catch the bouquet. But in doing so, she loses her grip on the towel that was acting like a parachute and falls to the ground, with her fall broken first by Nano, Hakari, and Kusuri's busts, and then by Rentarou diving across the walkway.

With her team's victory secured, Hakari presents the group with a fistful of chopsticks to decide who should go with Rentarou to the photo stand, intending to cheat her way there by having Nano pick first and then Hakari after that. Nano, however, suggests they all draw at the same time, and Hakari gets the winning chopstick anyway. Kusuri whines about wanting her picture taken with Rentarou, and after some discussions, everyone gathers for a group photo with Hakari in the dress.

Hakari thanks Rentarou for the picture, saying she's finally been able to live out her childhood fantasy.

And then she asks Rentarou to break up with her.


Tropes

  • Batman Gambit: Hakari tries to rig the chopstick lottery by having Nano pick the first chopstick, knowing that when subjected to games involving random selection, she always picks the choice closest to her. This time, however, Nano decides to have all the girls choose at once. But Hakari still gets the winning chopstick anyway.
  • Catch a Falling Star: After bouncing off the chests of Nano, Hakari, and Adult!Kusuri, Shizuka is caught by Rentarou before she hits the ground.
  • Drawing Straws: Hakari and the girls use breakable chopsticks to decide who gets to wear the dress for the photo shoot.
  • Early-Bird Cameo: Hakari's mother can be seen in Hakari's flashback.
  • Graceful Loser: Zigzagged. Karane thanks the Head Gorira for duking it out with her during the bouquet toss, relieved that she wasn’t trying to catch Shizuka with the other girls.
  • Loophole Abuse: The Gorira Alliance use each other as battering rams during the bouquet toss, covering up their actions as training. Karane responds by stealing a cape and joining the alliance so she can fight them off.
  • Too Clever by Half: Hakari rigs a breakable chopstick under the assumption Nano will take the closest one on the grounds of being more efficient, only for Nano to say the most efficient course of action is to all draw at the same time.
  • Wham Line: Hakari gives us a doozy:
    "Rentarou-kun...would you...please break up with me?"
