Chapter 8

**Everyone's Favorite Swimsuit Chapter** (皆大好き水着回 *Minna Daisuki Mizugi-kai*) is the eighth chapter of the *100 Kanojo* manga.

## Summary

Rentarou introduces Nano to the rest of his girlfriends, and they all welcome her with open arms. Hakari quickly changes the subject however and comments on how’s she is jealous of the date that Rentarou went on. Rentarou suggests that they should all go somewhere on their next day off. Hakari suggests a new indoor swimming pool that opened up and the group decide to go there, all according to Hakari’s plan. Before the date, Karane needs to get a swimsuit, so she goes to a shop named “Peach & Beach”. She finds a cute one but hesitates to buy it because she thinks it won’t suit her. She ends up going through with the purchase however as she knows that Rentarou might compliment her.

On the day of the date, the 5 of them meet up on the poolside after they’ve all changed into their swimsuits. Karane comes out wearing a towel poncho, claiming that she feels chilly, and tells the rest of the group to go and swim without her as she makes her way to a nearby sun lounger. The 4 head to the last river first. Here, Shizuka ends up spinning around in her floaty due to the strong current. Nano attempts to go against the current, as an experiment to see if the facility is designed to deal with river related incidents, and Hakari uses the strong current as an excuse to latch onto Rentarou’s arm and press her boobs against him. Nano, jealous of Hakari, tries to rival her by grabbing Rentarou’s free arm and planting his hand on one of her boobs. Hakari follows suit with the arm she was latching onto and the two begin to have an argument over who’s boobs are better before turning to Rentarou for an answer. Rentarou falls unconscious due to blood loss from a nosebleed during their argument, resulting in the 2 of them having to drag him out of the water and try to perform CPR on him.

Whilst this is all happening, Shizuka is still spinning uncontrollably down the lazy river away from the group. She tries to make her way to the poolside, but after realising that she can’t fight the current, attempts to call for help from a stranger. She ends up bumping into the side of the pool which deflates her floaty, leaving her stranded on an island in the middle of the lazy river because she can’t swim. After several attempts, Nano and Hakari realise that they neither of them can perform CPR properly and decide to look for a **male** staff member that can help. Whilst looking for a staff member, they run into a group of 3 guys who ask if they want to play with them. Hakari tries to run past them, stating that they’re in a hurry, but one of the men tries to grab her. Nano grabs the man’s hand before it can reach Hakari and jabs him in the eyes. The remaining men, now annoyed, threaten to use violence to have Hakari and Nano join them.
