The 100 Girlfriends with Really, Really, Really, Really, REALLY Stupid Names.

AKA: Everyone in this manga has a name that's a pun or a play on words like Ace Attorney and I'm gonna explain them to you from GF 1 to 28.

Aijou Rentarou - The first syllable of both his names, "Ai" and "Ren" are both spelled with different kanji for "love." "Rentarou" means "Feeling Love."

Hanazono Hakari - "Hana" means "flower" or "blossom" and "zono" means "garden". Her surname is a reference to the expression "Atama ga Ohanabatake," literally meaning, "flower garden in the head." This phrase is used to describe someone who is constantly delusional and imaginative, referring to her lustful daydreams and delusions along with the flower-shaped hairpins that she wears as a part of her character design. "Hakari" is also a homophone for "plan," highlighting her devious nature and scheming brain.

Inda Karane - Karane's full name is derived from a highly typical Japanese tsundere sentence "betsu ni anta no tame ni yattenain dakarane!" ("It's not like I did it for you or anything!") The "In" in "Inda" also means "hospital" which is where she keeps sending Rentarou.

Yoshimoto Shizuka - Yoshimoto can translate to "Lover of Books" and "Shizuka" literally means "quiet."

Eiai Nano - "Eiai" is derived from "A.I." and "Nano" is derived from "Nanotechnology," alluding to her straightfoward, computer-like intellect and mechanistic demeanor.

Yakuzen Kusuri - "Yakuzen" means "medicinal cooking" in literal translation, while "Kusuri" is a homophone for the Japanese word for drug or medicine.

Hanazono Hahari - Her name is the same meaning as Hakari's, fitting since she is also very deluded. Hahari also contains the word "Haha," which also means "mother."

Haraga Kurumi - The "Hara" in "Haraga" means stomach, referring to Kurumi's incredible appitite.

Meido Mei - "Meido" literally means "Maid"

Sutou Iku - Iku's full name is pronounced similarly to the Japanese word "sutoikku", meaning "stoic", as a testament to her high pain threshold.

Utsukushisugi Mimimi - "Utsukushi" means "Beauty or Beautiful" Additionally, "Mimimi" has the kanji for "Beauty or Beautiful" twice, and employs the noma kanji, which repeats the kanji that comes before it. In her full name, the word "Beauty" is written in Kanji three times, and her family name and given name are pronounced in On'yomi and Kun'yomi, respectively. There are technically four counts if the Noma Kanji is counted. Therefore, her name can be interpreted as meaning "extremely beautiful."

Kakure Meme - "Kakure" means "to hide", and the "Me" in "Meme" means "eye," so her full name effectively means "two hidden eyes." The "Ka" in "Kakure" can also mean "splendor or flashiness" referring to the beuatiful face that she keeps hidden under her bangs as to not draw attention to herself.

Iin Chiyo - Highlighting Chiyo's position at her school, her full name written in hiragana strongly resembles the second half of the Japanese word for "class president," - "gakkyuu iinchou." "Chiyo" also has the kanji for "award" and "wisdom," and "Iin" has the kanji for "school" or "institution."

Yamato Nadeshiko - The phrase "yamato nadeshiko," describes the "personification of the idealized Japanese woman." Typically, a yamato nadeshiko is modest and courteous, with long, dark hair that is frequently styled nicely. They wear traditional Japanese attire, and they resemble the kind of woman Naddy's family attempted to turn her into before she rebelled and became obsessed with America. "Yamato" is a term for ancient Japan, and a Nadeshiko is a kind of pink carnation whose name translates to "Japanese Dianthus"

Yasashiki Yamame - "Yasa" means "gentle" or "affectionate", and "shiki" means "spreading" or "laying out" like one would do with seeds in a field. "Sashiki" spelled in a different kanji also means "cutting and planting." "Yamame" can literally be translated to mean "Mountain Woman" referring to Yamame's large size, but "mame" can also mean "hardworking" or "healthy" and "legume" which means "vegetable."

Momi Momiji - "Momimomi" is an informal way of saying squeeze or massage. "Momu" also means "to massage."

Yakuzen Yaku - Like Kusuri, the word "yakuzen" literally means "medicinal cooking," and her first name contains the same word, albeit written in a different kanji. Kusuri even mentions this in the manga directly, to which Yaku responds that her mother named her after her favourite tree, Yakusugi Cedars. Furthermore, when written using the Goroawase wordplay system, Yaku can be written with the numbers 8 and 9 ("Ya" and "Ku"), referring to how she is 89 years old.

Torotoro Kishika - "Torotoro" is a Japanese onomatopoeia that describes something becoming loose and viscous, which refers to the state Kishika enters when she is babied. Kishika also directly translates to "Flower Knight"

Kedarui Aashii - "Kedarui" means languid, listless or feeling sluggish and "Ashi" a slang version of the pronoun, "atashi" often used by gals. Beyond just Japanese, Aashi means "smile" in Hindi, which makes sense given the constant smile she bears on her face.

Nakaji Uto - The kanji for Nakaji is also used in the word "Chuunibyou," a colloquial term from Japan used to characterize early teens with grandiose delusions, a strong desire to stand out, and the conviction that they possess knowledge or secret hidden powers, i.e. exactly what Uto is. "Uto" is also an alternative interpretation of the kanj "shijin," which translates to "poet."

Meido Mai - Similar to Mei, Mai's surname, "Meido" is pronounced in Japanese similarly to how "maid" is. However, it is spelled with the wrong kanji, which could highlight how Mai is an inexperienced maid in comparison to the perfect maid that is Mei. "Mai" can also mean "little sister."

Bonnouji Momoha - The "Bonnou" in Bonnouji means "worldly desires," and "Momoha" means "108" referencing the 108 worldly desires of Buddhist terminology.

Baio Rin - Her full name is a pun on how the word for "violin" is pronounced in Japanese, but also sounds like the world "violent" or "violence." Her name is also a reference to "Biohazard" the Japanese name of the violent horror shooter game series, Resident Evil.

Hifumi Suu - "Hi Fu Mi" literally means "1 2 3" in the Goroawase wordplay system. Suu also means "number."

Kaho Eira - Kaho's name is a pun on "Capoeira" the style of Brazilian martial arts that she practices.

Nekonari Tama - Nekonari contains the kanji "Neko" and "Naru", which when put together means "to become a cat." Tama means "beads" but is also a homophone for "ball" referring to how cats like playing with balls of yarn.

Saiki Himeka - "Sai" means "talent," "ki" means "strange." "Hime" means "princess" and ""ka" means "song." Himeka uses the first kanji of her first name and the second kanji of her last name for her stage name, "Kiki," literally translating to "weird princess" or "strange princess."

Dei Matsuri - "Matsuri" literally means "festival," and "Dei" is derived from the ending particle of Edo dialect speech. "Dei" effectively replaces the standard ending particles "desu" and "da," emphasizing Dei's cockney English dialect.

Usami Shiina - Usami is a short abbreviation of "Usagi no Mimi", which means "bunny ears." Additionally, her full name is a pun on "Ū samishī na" which means "Ugh, I'm so lonely," naturally referring to how Shiina is unable to engage in solo activities due to her autophobia

Mini Fanfic #1185: (Un)Suspect Culprits (100 Girlfriends)

10:14 a.m. at the Hanazono Mansion's Living Room.........

Hahari: (Plave Down a Now Broken Hair Dryer on the Table For Everyone Presebr to See While Giving Them the Stern Motherly Glare) So. Who broke it? I'm not mad, just disappointed and want answers.

'Silence'

Rentarou: .........(Quickly Got Up From his Seat) It was me! I did it. I'm the guilty party.

Hahari: (Shakes her Head Towards the Young Man) You didn't do it, Rentarou-baby, sit down.

Rentarou: How could you be so sure that I'm truly innocent? I could've used it to dry my hair off and missed and broke it by mistake.

Hahari: Perhaps, but even if you did, you would've been going to the ends of the Earth just to look for a new one by now like the sweetheart you are.

Rentarou: I-I mean, yeah! But....I-I could be-

Hahari: (Raises an Eyebrow at Rentarou in Silence)

Rentarou: (Sighs in Defeat While Sitting Back Down) Nevermind, I'm innocent.......

Hahari: (Simply Nodded) Indeed you are. Meanwhile......(Turns and Points at the Others Sitting Next to Their Boyfriend on the Sofa Together) You, ladies, on the other hand, are equally suspicious!

Kusuri: Don't look at me! (Points at Nano Next to Her) Look at Ms. Smarty-Pants instead, yep-yep!

Nano: (Turns to Kusuri) I beg your pardon? I don't recall ever using that hair dryer last night, let alone breaking it.

Kusuri: (Starts Grabbong and Rubbing her Chin Down) Reeeallly? That's strange~ How did you even know it was broken to begin with?

Nano: (Slowly Raises an Eyebrow) Because it's sitting right in front of us? Broken?

Kusuri: Hm. Excellent observation. (Got Close to Nano's Face While Glaring at Her Straight to her Eyes) Exactly what a guilty crook would say, Yep-Yep!

Nano: (Crosses her Arms) Your hypothesis is insufficient at best.

Kusuri: YOU'RE INSUFFICIENT AT BEST!!!

Hakari: ('Sigh') Mother, please, If it matters, which I doubt it is....I think I might of saw Karane using it last night before bed.

Karane: (Eyes Widened and Gasps Before Glaring at Hakari) Oh screw off, you liar! I don't remember using any of that crap!!

Hakari: (Raises an Eyebrow) Oh really? Then what were you doing inside the hallway bathroom at 2:00 in the morning, hm? When you're SUPPOSED to stay asleep!!

Karane: I was TRYING to get myself and Rentarou glasses of water so I could help calm his nerves, Einstein! (Gently Rubs on Rentarou's Shoulder) He had a nightmare last night.

Girls: ('Gasps') What?/ Oh no..../Is that right?

Hakari: (Turns to Rentarou With Great Concern on her Face) Rentarou, my love, is that true?

Rentarou: (Smiles a Bit Sheepishly While Rubbing the Back of his Head Back and Forth) Yeah, but I....usually have these kinds of dreams every now and then, so it's nothing really!

Karane: (Angrily Points at her Boyfriend) Oh don't even start tryin' to deny it, dude!! You were cryin' your eyes out, tellin' me how afraid you were about bein' abandoned and alone for the rest of your life! Well, guess what, baka! (Hugs Rentarou Very Lovingly) You're stuck with us forever and ever and ever like superglue, so you better get used to it!!~

Rentarou: (Starts Tearing Up Again) Karane..... ('Sniff') You're gonna make me cry again~

Kusuri: (Immediately Rushes Over to Hug Rentarou With Tears in her Eyes Along with the Other Ladies Minus Hahari) Rentarohouuuu!~

Shizuka: {There is no need to cry.}

Nano: Especially now that you have us in your comforts.

Hakari: That's right. We'll throw ourselves s Cuddle Party to show much we love and care for you!~

Karane: Riiiight after rich girl here attempts to her crimes right now-

Hakari: (Immediately Glares at Karane) Are you serious right now!?

Karane: Hey, you've been accusin' me from the start! (Starts Butting Heads with Hakari) Consider this payback, pinky!!

Rentarou: (Tries Breaking his Two of his Many Girlfriends Up) Girls, please! (Turns Back to Hahari) How about I go out and pay for a new hair dryer inste-

Hahari: No! Who. Broke it?

'Silence'

Nano: Well.......Shizuka-Chan hasn't said much of anything as of late.

The sound of Shizuka letting out a loud gasps was more than enough to cause the gang argue among themselves. Leaving the heir of the Hanazono Clan to stand there and watch with a rather......guilty look in her face.

Hahari: Oh noooo...... This is a disaster!

?????: My thoughts exactly.

Hahari: (Gets Startled as She Turns to see her Maid, Meido Mei, Standing Next to her Out of Nowhere) ('Sighs in Relief') Oh...It's you, Mei-San. (Pouts at Mei) You know better than to sneak up to me like that! (Places her Hand onto her Chest) I could've gotten a heart attack.....

Mei: (Politely Bows to her Mistress) Apologies, milady. (Turns her Attention to the Arguing) But I must ask, what exactly has happened that caused this much of discourse?

Hahari: Everyone is arguing about who broke the hair dryer earlier this morning.....(Points Nei to the Broken Hair Dryer)

Mei: I see. (Grabs her Chin While Thinking) I wonder who was capable of doing such a-

Hahari: It was me!

Mei: (Turbs Back to her Mistress With a Bit of a Confused in her Face) You, mistress?

Hahari: (Eyes Starts Watering Up While Whimpering) Yes.....My hair got stuck in the blower. So when I tried pulling it out, my hand lost it's grip and flew across the wall, breaking it instantly! I got so panicky that I decided to form an a little investigation party to ease stress. I didn't mean for it to lead to huge fight, I'm so sorry!~

Mei: (Hugs Hahari While Gently Patting her Back, Calming her Down) There, there, Lady Hahari, it's alright. We all make mistakes from time to time.

Hahari: A-And....('Sniff') With mistakes....('Sniff') There's always a chance to fix them.....('Sniff') R-Right?

Mei: (Happily Nodded) Absolutely, milady. I'm sure we'll get everyone else to calm down soon enough. (Grabs her Chin Again) Or at least before they proceed to they war paints across their faces and start an all out brawl.....

Hahari: Oh come now, Mei Dear. I know our darlings can hyperactive at times, I doubt they would go as far as to do-

The broken hair dryer sudden starts flying towards Hahari in high amount of speed, causing her to quickly jump into her maid's arms while screaming out "MEI, SAVE MEEEE!~", as the device hits the wall instead, breaking it completely this time.

The two ladies then turn towards the chaos that is conspiring in front of their very eyes, exactly like Meido predicted it would go down.

Kusuri: (Grunting While Trying her Very Hardest to Push Nano Her All her Might.....And to Little to NO Prevail) Come....onnnnn!......Su...mo....Pow...errrrrr!

Nano: (Crosses her Arms Together While Being Completely Unfazed by Kusuri's Line of Offense) You do realize your physical strength is inefficiently outclassed and small compared to mines, yes? (Easily Gets Kusuri Off of Her with One, Stronger Push)

Kusuri: (Roll Herself Over to the Other Side of the Road Before Getting Herself Back Up on her Face) Compare my strength will you! (Takes a Drink of her One of her Chemical Filled Beaker, Instantly Transforming Her into her True, Taller Version of Herself) How about fighting me in THIS form then, Ms. Smart-Pants?

Nano: (Stares at Kusuri's Truer Form in a Somewhat Deadpinned Look on her Face) Not surprising to see you resort yourself to cheating- (Suddenly Gets Tackled to the Ground by Kusuri)

Hakari: I have just about enough with you today, you pigtailed Tsundere! (Puts her Up Towards Karane's Direction on the Other Side of the Room) Put 'em up, right this instantly!!

Karane: (Raises an Eyebrow) YOU know how to fight?

Hakari: (Comically Glares at Her Girlfriend Karane) Oh quit giving me that look!! Mei-San has been teaching Martial Arts long before I met you!

Karane: ('Tch') Yeah, well you better remember how to land a punch and dodge then. (Gets into Fighting Position) Cuz I ain't the one to toy with, Pinky!

Hakari: I have a name, you know!?

Rentarou: (Got in the Middle of Both his Girlfriend's Fighting) Girls please! We can talk this out-

Hakari: IT'S HAKARI HANAZONO!!

Both combatants' fists accidently landed straight to both of their boyfriend's cheeks, causing him to spinning towards the ground, Instantly knocking him out in the process.

Hakari/Karane/Shizuka: ('GASPS') RENTAROU!!! (Immediately Rushes Over to Their Boyfriend's Side)

Shizuka: (Already Crying her Eyes Out)

Hakari/Karane: My sweet, darling boy!~/I didn't even see you there, dude! I'M SO SORRY!!~ (Turns to One Another Before Getting Up and Pointing at Each Other) THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT!? WHAT!? HOW IS THIS REMOTELY MY FAULT!?

Karane: Well, MAYBE if you didn't try and punch me, none of this would've happened!!

Hakari: You tried to punch me in return, so you're EQUALLY to blame!

Karane: Nuh-uh!

Hakari: Yeah-huh!

Karane: Nuh-uh!

Hakari: Yeah-huh!

Karane: Nuh-

The rivalry duo suddenly hears the sound of growling aa they turn to see Shizuka Yoahimoto glaring directly at the two While a dark, ominous colored aura surrounds her entire body.

Hakari: (Shivering a Bit in Fear) S-S-Shizuka darling? W-What's wrong?

Karane: You're not really mad at us, are you?

Shizuka: (Still Glaring at the Duo in Pure Silence)

Karane: (Starts Shivering in Fear as Well) C-Come on! You saw what there. I-It was only an accident-

Shizuka: (Slowly But Angrily Typing the Words on her Phone) {Talk is now cheap. Now it is the time for both of you to atone. By my own two hands.}

Karane: (Eyes Widened in Complete Shock Along with Hakari) ......You serious?

Shizuka gently place her phone down next to an unconscious Rentarou before cracking her knuckles and then neck from side to side.

Hakari: (Panicky Whispers into Karane's Ear) Karane, I think that answers your question effortlessly.

Karane: (Comically Glares at Hakari) YOU THINK I DON'T KNOW THAT, YOU TITS FOR BRA-

Shizuka let's out a cute sounding battle cry as she launches herself towards both of her girlfriends, joining rest of the lovemates in the cloud of fighting, leaving only two members of Rentarou's Family, watching the chaos continues infrint of them.

Mei: Hrmm......This seems to be one of the rare instances where I didn't want my predictions to come to light.

Hahari: Well.....At least, it gotten a lot less chummy around here than usual....(Slowly Shrugs and Smiles)

Mei: ('Sigh') I suppose.....

Eventually, the two ladies managed to calm everyone down shortly after. The gang then patches both of Rentarou's cheeks up and shower him with kisses and hugs as they finally begin their first annual Cuddle Party among themselves, instantly making their day a whole lot better going forward.
