Back at it again with the 100 GFs! Season 3 of the anime got announced recently, and I'm excited to see these latest batch of GFs get animated!

Chiyo is the GF I have the most complicated feelings on. I genuinely love her as a character: I'm a sucker for 'strict stick in the mud who takes on a lot of responsibility learns she can loosen up'. She genuinely has changed a lot and it's delightful to see how much being with the other GFs has helped her grow. But then she's one of the youngest GFs and she's Rentaro's cousin by blood. Those tropes on their own is already pretty iffy, but the double combo just gets to me.

The manga tries to cover all of the things folks object to: Chiyo initiated and genuinely wants this relationship! Rentaro doesn't want to get physical with any of his GFs beyond kissing and hugs until he and his younger GFs are older! Chiyo's dad not only approves of the relationship, he wanted his nephew to date his daughter and has actively manipulated things to best ensure the two would fall in love when they finally met (this last point does not help me feel better). Alas, 100 GF is not immune to anime bullshit, and Chiyo is just a lot of that puddled together.

Naddy is so fucking funny, I'm so excited to see what she sounds like in the anime. Her backstory of being a hyper traditional Japanese socialite who threw it all away in pursuit of ~American Freedom~ adds a lot of pathos to her and makes you appreciate just how hard she's trying to embrace the life she wants. I love her hair is slightly green because her hair dye job isn't that good. Naddy please come visit the US one day and go to Buckees or the Waffle House!!!

Yamame is so cute and sweet and I love that we have a giant GF among the cast. Finally, we can have the The Kabocha Wine but a version where the boyfriend isn't a dick and appreciates how glorious it is to have a Giant Girlfriend. Her chapters where her sweet genuine innocence bounces off Hikari's more calculated and scheming nature is a lot of fun! I'm excited to see her animated too!!!

Ah yes. Me. My girlfriend. And her 500 dollar four foot tall Kitten Mittens
