The 100 Girlfriends Who Really, Really, Really, Really, REALLY Love You

Rentaro Aijo has always drawn the short straw when it comes to romance, chalking up a hundred rejections before high school. He prays at a shrine for a fresh start, hoping luck will finally tilt in his favor. The God of Love appears and offers a bold promise: in high school he will meet 100 people he is meant to date. But there is a catch; once destiny pairs them, the two must freely love each other, and if either party hesitates, the match ends with dire consequences.
