On the last day of middle school, he visits a shrine and the God of Love appears and tells Rentarō that the reason for his non-existent love life is because everyone is only supposed to have one soulmate in their life, but due to an error on the God of Love's part, Rentarō is destined to have 100. Rentarō meets the wealthy Hakari Hanazono and tsundere Karane Inda, and he decides to date both of them at the same time, with their blessing, as any of the soulmates he does not date will die in "horrible accidents".[11][12] Rentarō loves each of his girlfriends as individuals and has no "interest in ranking or comparing them."[13][14] | Japan

She is intelligent and highly optimized in her daily life, removing any sort of unnecessary movements and actions to achieve utter efficiency.

Kusuri is the president of the Chemistry club at Rentarō's high school and specialises in creating drugs that have strange effects when consumed. While she is technically 18 years old, she spends much of her time in an eight-year-old's body and she has a neutralization drug that can revert most of her drug's effects. This includes the failed immortal drug, which can only be temporarily negated.[19]
Hahari Hanazono  | Rentarō's sixth girlfriend and Hakari's mother. Hahari initially disapproved of Hakari's relationship with Rentarō, but changed her mind when she fell in love with Rentarō herself.
