"100 Girlfriends I Really Really Really Really Love You," which will be broadcast as an anime in the fall of 2023, is a ridiculously wild romantic comedy that decides from the beginning that there will be 100 heroines, and the main character has to date all of them honestly and openly, while also having a large number of heroines appear equally in each episode! It has been called the Bobobo of the romantic comedy world, and we are both excited and scared to see how people will react immediately after it airs! In this article, we would like to introduce the production company behind this series and the currently known cast!

Our protagonist, Aijo Koitaro, has confessed his feelings to a girl 100 times before entering high school and been rejected 100 times. He encounters a god at a shrine and is told that once he enters high school, he will meet his "soulmate"—a person who will fall in love with him the moment they meet. He also learns that due to a mistake by the god, there are 100 such people. Furthermore, he also tells him that any girl who doesn't find her will suffer misfortune and die. Shortly after entering high school, Koitaro meets two "soulmates" and, unable to choose between them, decides to date both of them at the same time. He begs with all his heart and succeeds. However, there are still 98 soulmates left. Will Koitaro be able to achieve 100 girlfriends?

【100 Girlfriends I Really Really Really Really Love】Production Staff & Cast Summary
Here's a summary of the production and cast of the fall 2023 anime "100 Girlfriends I Really Really Really Really Love"! While the first season seems manageable given the small number of heroines featured, if it continues with a second and third season, the production burden will likely be immense due to the high frequency of the many heroines appearing! That's something I'd like to see, so if the first season is well-received, I hope it continues with a second and third season!
