100% Unrequited Love

**100% Unrequited Love** (Japanese: *100%片想い*) is a shōjo anime and manga series within the universe of Karakai Jōzu no Takagi-san. It is the favourite series and guilty pleasure of Nishikata; he goes to great lengths to disguise the fact that he enjoys the series out of embarrassment that he will be laughed at for reading and watching a series that is oriented at girls. Despite his best efforts, Takagi (who also enjoys the series) intercepts Nishikata on several occasions after he purchases a new volume of the 100% Unrequited Love manga and threatens to tell others about his interest in the series as punishment for losing one of her games. Although Nishikata is at first embarrassed that she knows about his interest in the series, they are eventually able to converse about it in a more relaxed way. At this point, Nishikata and Takagi begin to (unintentionally or otherwise) re-enact romantic scenes from the series together in order to tease each other.

## Plot

The series centres around Kyunko, a blonde girl who, despite her best efforts to remain disinterested, becomes flustered by the romantic behaviours of Ikeo, her red-headed upperclassman (who has a fondness for curry). The opening animation for the series (in Season 1 Episode 7) features a pink-haired, sword-wielding girl who appears to be jealous of Kyunko's closeness with the male protagonist.

## Readers and viewers

Nishikata and Takagi appear to be regular viewers and readers of the 100% Unrequited Love series, as evinced by their ability to re-enact scenes from the series. Mina and Sanae also read the manga in Ashita wa Doyōbi Chapter 18 (adapted in Season 2 Episode 6).

## Opening theme

The series's opening theme is also called 100% Unrequited Love; it is featured during the 100% Unrequired Love opening animation in Season 1 Episode 7.

## Sequel

## Scenes

### **Ice (氷)**

Walking to school together, Takagi complains to Nishikata about how numb her hands are due to the cold weather. When Nishikata offers his hand warmer, Takagi declines it. They then see a frozen puddle. Takagi proposes a contest where the one who carries the biggest piece of ice to school wins. Nishikata grabs a large piece of ice while Takagi grabs a small piece. She teases him about how happy he looks, which nearly causes him to drop his piece on the ground. He ultimately ends up dropping it when she mentions that the loser has to warm up the winner's hands. Just as Nishikata is about to offer his hand to Takagi, she asks for his hand warmer instead.

### **Appearance (外見)**

When Takagi meets Nishikata on the way to school, he tells her that there's something different about his appearance from the day before and challenges her to figure it out. Nishikata reveals that he trimmed a small piece of his hair and is confident that Takagi won't get it. He gets very flustered when she examines him from up close. After a while, Takagi correctly guesses that it's his hair, which causes Nishikata to scream in despair. She then tells him how she figured it out, as the hair and nails are the easiest to change, and its not his nails, so she guesses its his hair. Takagi then tells him that she will change her appearance the next day and he has to figure out what the said change will be.

### **Bangs (前髪)**

At school, Mina is talking to Sanae when Yukari shows up. Yukari reveals that she was trimming her bangs the day before and ended up cutting too much off. Mina teases Yukari about it until Yukari tells Mina that her bangs don't look any better. Yukari ends up apologizing to a despondent Mina. When Mina starts to apologize, she sees Yukari's bangs and begins laughing again.

### **Valentine's Day (バレンタインデー)**

Nishikata is heading to school on Valentine's Day when he meets up with Takagi. When they arrive, he is disappointed no one left any chocolate in his locker. In class, Nishikata is still disappointed that he hasn't received any chocolate yet. Meanwhile, Mano is nervous about handing chocolate to Nakai when Mina shows up to hand her chocolate to the entire class. However, they end up getting confiscated by Tanabe-sensei. Later, after Mano asks Takagi for help in terms of how she should hand her chocolate to Nakai, she becomes too embarrassed to do it in front of his friends. When he catches up with her, she is finally confident enough to hand him her chocolate. Just then, Tanabe-sensei shows up. However, he decides to not confiscate them. When school ends for the day, Nishikata is upset that he hasn't received any chocolate until he sees some in his locker. As they are walking home, Takagi teases Nishikata about who he believes gave him the chocolate.

*The feelings of a girl who can't cry

You are about to find out a lot

I want you to lead me to a smile with a

pure heart

I want you to hold me tight

Even an irresponsible guy is my type

This love breaks freedom

But please don't get mad at me saying

it's selfish

Let's hold hands, hands together, I want

to stay like this

Let's hold hands, hands together, I want

to stay like this

Can I be selfish even if we are just

discovering each other?

You have to use words

You have to say it right away

I don't know, please don't stop me

Fu, lalala, dance with me, everyday

It burns, these hands and heart, your

existence

I can't stop myself

Let's hold hands, hands together, I want

to stay like this

Let's hold hands, hands together, I want

to stay like this

Please, hold me tight

Please don't let me go anymore

Let's hold hands

Love, kiss, whatever, I just want to do a

lot of things with you

Please don't stop me anymore, don't stop

me anymore*

## Scenes

### **Questions (質問)**

After watching Dandy of the Old West, Nishikata tries to copy the titular character's mannerisms as Dandy is never fooled, but Takagi, having also seen the show, tickles him and exposes his weak points. The two engage in asking a series of questions, though Takagi's prompts cause him to panic and once again enable her to tickle him.

### **Eyebrows (まゆ毛)**

Yukari and Sanae discuss how those with large eyebrows are kind. When Mina arrives, she misinterprets their conversation as making fun of such people and instead insults Yukari's bangs. Although Sanae clarifies what they were talking about, Yukari is too hurt by Mina's remarks and describes her eyebrows as weird.

### **After School (放課後)**

Nishikata and Yukari are members of the field trip planning committee, which forces them to stay after school. Since this means Takagi has to walk home on her own and would not be able to tease him, Nishikata initially celebrates the decrease before realizing she has no intention of reducing her antics. Unaware of his thoughts, Yukari observes his behavior and assumes he is lamenting not going home with Takagi.

### **Happy Birthday (ハッピーバースデー)**

On his birthday, Nishikata visits a cakeshop to pick up his cake when he encounters Takagi. She then asks Nishikata where he's heading to. He then thinks it might be embarrassing for a guy to go to a cake shop and get his cake like a big dork. But he soon realizes he has to say something to Takagi. Not wanting her to know his intentions, he challenges her to guess his destination and vice versa, only to learn she is also going to the cake shop. Inside, Takagi picks up her items first before giving them to Nishikata as a prize for winning the challenge and then leaves the cake shop. In addition to sweets, he receives a 100% Unrequited Love key chain.

### **Sneeze (くしゃみ)**

Various students begin to sneeze, prompting them to theorize as to why they're being discussed. Nishikata sneezes first after Yukari talks about his relationship with Takagi, which leads to discussing their "double date" with Mano. While talking with Nakai about wanting to be cuter, Mano brings up Houjou as a reference, who in turn also sneezes while talking with Hamaguchi. Shortly after, Kimura sneezes as he and Takao speculate about couples, including Takagi and Nishikata, which leads to Takagi sneezing herself.
