Body Body. It's a trope that had to happen SOME indicate 100 girlfriends. Kusuri concocts a drug that is supposed to keep Rentarou in love with the girls, but makes a mistake and causes the six girls to fight.

Girlfriend #7: Kurumi Haraga
The Hangry-dere
Now that the entire Hakari-Hahari passage has ended, Rentarou returns to his quest for the remaining 94 girls. He finds his 7th roommate in the next part of this episode, Kurumi Haraga, a 3rd high school student he meets at the cafeteria during lunch. Say what you will about the show, but it knows how to design characters well. Kurumi's appearance gives off a cold cold wolf, just like Anby Zenless Zone Zero. He has short purple hair and emerald eyes and wears a dark gray hoodie with green and purple accents. She also constantly wears headphones, which she uses to block out the outside world, which ties in with Kurumi's personality.
He has a big appetite and a fast metabolism, so he's always thinking about food. Hearing or seeing anything remotely related or similar to anything related to food will give him a huge craving for whatever food it reminds him of. To combat this, Kurumi purposely always wore a hoodie and headphones to limit the amount of things she could see and hear. At first, Kurumi seems like a tsundere type like Karane, and just when you thought the stereotypes were over, the show gives Kurumi another face. He was just mad because he was always on the mend, and eating his favorite food turned his lights on and made him happy.
Like all the previous girls, Kurumi's name is a word based on her character, which is a common thing they do in anime, but is especially important for a show that will have 100 “main characters”. Her name, Haraga (原賀), translates directly to “field” and “joy”, but “hara” can also mean “belly”, although using different kanji. Therefore, Kurumi's family name probably means “belly” and “joy”, which defines her to a tee.
Visual and Audio
How does it compare to season 1?
For anime that is not a shōnen fighting show and a new IP, the animation in 100 girlfriends It's always been surprisingly good, and it will continue to be true with season 2. There's no let-up in the quality of the art, animation, voice acting, and sound mixing, which, frankly, is expected in the first episode. in a season. I hope so, 100 girlfriends can maintain this quality for the rest of the season.
Opening and closing themes
The opening theme is called Thanks for Being So Lovable, and like the season 1 opening, it's sung by the voice actors who play Rentarou's girlfriend, giving it a nice special touch that most don't have. the anime opening. The sound of the song is similar to the first opening, To You Who I Really, Really, Really, Really, Really Love, because they are very colorful and upbeat.
The ending theme is called Unmei?, which means “Gone?”, and like the opening, the melody and even the lyrics are closely related to the performance. There is even a chorus in the middle of the song where the girls cheer for Rentarou. Like the last theme song, Sweet Sign, the image for this song is chibi girls playing and hanging out with Rentarou toys. Although the songs from the first season seem to be more popular, these new ones are not bad by any means, and maybe they just need to grow you. 100 girlfriends' next few episodes.
