The 100 Girlfriends Who Really Love You Tier List: Definitive Season 3 Rankings

If there’s one thing that makes The 100 Girlfriends Who Really, Really, Really, Really, REALLY Love You different from almost every other harem anime, it’s the fact that nobody is fighting for first place. Somehow, creator Rikito Nakamura took one of anime’s most overused genres and turned it into one of the most wholesome, chaotic, and genuinely entertaining romantic comedies in recent years.

With Season 3 bringing even more beloved manga characters into the spotlight, fans are once again debating which girlfriends stand above the rest. As someone who has followed both the anime and manga, I don’t think there are any truly “bad” girlfriends in Rentaro’s ever-growing family. Every character contributes something unique.

Still, some simply leave a bigger impression than others.

This ranking is based on a combination of character growth, comedy value, emotional moments, chemistry with Rentaro, and overall impact on the series.

Top Tier – The Characters That Define Hyakkano

These are the girlfriends I believe represent everything that makes the series special.

Nano Eiai

Nano remains one of the strongest characters in the entire franchise.

At first glance, she’s cold, logical, and almost robotic. However, that’s exactly what makes her development so satisfying. Watching Nano slowly learn that love doesn’t need to be efficient is one of the most rewarding character arcs in the story.

Her deadpan reactions create some of the funniest scenes in the anime, but she’s also capable of delivering surprisingly emotional moments. Few characters balance comedy and depth as effectively as Nano.

Karane Inda

Karane could have easily become another generic tsundere.

Instead, the series takes every tsundere cliché and pushes it to absurd levels. The result is a character who feels both hilarious and surprisingly relatable.

Beneath all the shouting and embarrassment is a girl constantly struggling with insecurity. Her growth throughout the series feels genuine, and her chemistry with both Rentaro and Hakari remains one of the show’s strongest dynamics.

Ahko Kedarui

If Season 3 introduces viewers to Ahko’s charm properly, she could become one of the most popular characters in the anime community.

Her relaxed attitude provides a perfect contrast to the nonstop chaos surrounding the Rentaro Family. What makes Ahko stand out is her emotional intelligence. She understands people better than most characters and creates some incredibly wholesome interactions.

Every scene with her feels comforting.

High Tier – Fan Favorites That Never Miss

These girlfriends consistently elevate every episode they appear in.

Hakari Hanazono

Hakari was one of the original reasons many fans fell in love with the series.

Yes, she’s shamelessly flirtatious. Yes, she constantly creates awkward situations. But beneath the comedy lies one of the most devoted characters in the cast.

The emotional story involving her family remains one of the anime’s strongest early arcs, proving that Hakari is much more than comic relief.

Shizuka Yoshimoto

Few anime characters are as universally lovable as Shizuka.

Her communication struggles could have become repetitive, but the series handles them with remarkable care. Watching her gradually become more confident is genuinely heartwarming.

Whenever Shizuka gets a spotlight episode, it’s usually among the most memorable moments of the season.

Hahari Hanazono

Introducing Hakari’s mother as a girlfriend sounded absolutely ridiculous on paper.

Then somehow the series made it work.

Hahari brings unlimited resources, unlimited chaos, and an unlimited amount of unpredictable humor. Her presence often pushes episodes into complete madness, and honestly, the show is better because of it.

Mimimi Utsukushisugi

Mimimi surprised me more than almost any other girlfriend.

Initially, she appears obsessed with beauty. Over time, however, viewers discover that her confidence comes from hard work rather than arrogance.

That distinction makes her incredibly likable. She genuinely wants others to succeed and often acts as one of the most supportive members of the family.

Solid Tier – Reliable and Entertaining

These characters may not dominate fan polls, but they consistently improve the cast.

Kusuri Yakuzen

Without Kusuri, half of the series wouldn’t even happen.

Whenever the plot needs complete insanity, Kusuri conveniently produces another questionable invention. Her dual-age gimmick remains one of the most creative concepts in the story.

She functions as both a comedy machine and an important romantic character.

Kurumi Haraga

Kurumi’s food-based personality sounds simple, but the execution is excellent.

Her constant battle against hunger creates plenty of jokes, while her surprisingly sweet side emerges whenever she feels comfortable around the others.

She’s one of the most underrated girlfriends in the series.

Meme Kakure

Meme’s disappearing acts never stop being funny.

What I appreciate most is how the anime transforms her shyness into an actual visual gag. Her attempts to avoid attention create countless memorable scenes while still allowing her personality to shine through.

Iku Suto

Iku’s extreme dedication to sports gives her a distinct identity within such a large cast.

Her unusual preferences generate plenty of comedy, but underneath that is a hardworking athlete who genuinely wants to improve herself. That determination makes her surprisingly easy to root for.

Lower Tier – Good Characters With Less Impact

Being lower on this list doesn’t mean these girlfriends are bad.

The competition is simply brutal.

Mei Meido

Mei has an interesting backstory and several strong moments, but she often struggles to stand out when surrounded by louder personalities.

Her unwavering loyalty remains admirable, though I wish she received more opportunities to develop independently.

Chiyo Iin

Chiyo is probably one of the most divisive characters among fans.

Her strict personality creates valuable contrast within the family dynamic, but it can also make her harder to connect with compared to the more emotionally expressive girlfriends.

Still, her growth deserves credit.

Naddy (Nadeshiko Yamato)

Naddy is undeniably funny.

The problem is that much of her humor revolves around a single core joke. While that joke works remarkably well, it limits her overall character progression compared to others higher on this ranking.

The Season 3 Wild Cards

Season 3 introduces several characters capable of shaking up fan rankings dramatically.

Among these newcomers, Kishika may have the highest ceiling in terms of fan popularity. Her combination of confidence, skill, and hidden emotional needs creates a surprisingly compelling character.

Meanwhile, Yamame brings a level of pure kindness rarely seen in anime, while Momiji introduces entirely new comedic possibilities for group interactions.

Final Thoughts

The biggest reason The 100 Girlfriends succeeds is simple: every girlfriend matters.

Unlike traditional harem stories where characters often exist solely to compete with one another, Hyakkano allows every member of Rentaro’s family to contribute something meaningful. Whether they’re delivering emotional development, absurd comedy, or wholesome friendship moments, each character helps create one of anime’s most unique romantic ensembles.

My personal favorites may sit at the top, but the truth is that the series works because of the entire family. As Season 3 expands the roster even further, that’s unlikely to change.

And honestly? That’s exactly why fans keep coming back.
