Chapter 23

**His Name** (彼の名は。 *Kano no Na wa.*) is the twenty-third chapter of the *100 Kanojo* manga.

## Summary

Hakari calls all of Rentarou’s girlfriends to the roof for a meeting without Rentarou. She says that under normal circumstances, couples often enter the fatigue stage after dating for three months, and as 3 volumes have passed since they started dating Rentarou, they’ve been dating for essentially 3 months and will soon be entering the period. In order to avoid the fatigue stage, they must give off a “new appeal” so Rentarou doesn’t get tired of them, therefore, Hakari asked Kusuri to make a drug to help them. She however messes it up, causing an explosion.

Rentarou rushes to the rooftop to find that the six of them have all swapped bodies. The girls all start to panic so Rentarou tries to calm them down by establishing who is in who’s body. Hakari, in Nano’s body, tries to do some naughty stuff with Rentarou as she believes he won’t be able to tell it’s her, but after falling into him, he immediately figures out it’s her. Kusuri, in Hakari’s body, jumps and asks if Rentarou can figure out who she is, something that he can easily figure out from the way she refers to herself in the 3rd person. Hahari, who’s in Kusuri’s body, exclaims at how young she is and rolls around on the floor because of how light she feels. Karane, in Hahari’s body, gropes her own chest, causing a reaction from Rentarou. She fumbles to make an excuse, saying that she’s massaging them to burn some fat off, then sits down improperly, sparking a reaction from Hahari, still in Kusuri’s body. Rentarou turns to look at who's in Karane’s body, just to see her smiling at him. Nano, in Shizuka’s body, hands Shizuka her phone, who’s in Karane’s body, as she can’t speak without it.

Rentarou ponders how they can return themselves to normal when Shizuka suggests headbutting each other as that is standard in some books. She and Kusuri headbutt each other but it does nothing but cause Hakari and Karane to complain at them, as they are in their bodies. Hahari says that the only way would be for a miracle to happen by them all kissing Rentarou. She pulls Rentarou into a motherly embrace, still in Kusuri’s body, and pampers him, giving him a strange feeling. She kisses him which in turn causes her soul to leave her body. Kusuri explains that as their souls are in an unstable state, a kiss would make them lightheaded and in turn release the soul from its body. A “cool Shizuka” (Nano) says that the group should quickly kiss Rentarou and return to their normal bodies as it’s the most efficient, then pulls him into a chin lift kiss. A “young girl Hakari” (Kusuri) hugs Rentarou from behind after he kisses Nano. She starts to feel strange after pressing her boobs against Rentarou, so he quickly turns around and kisses her to stop her from getting off from the thrill. Rentarou asks who’s next and a “little animal Karane” (Shizuka) offers herself. Rentarou starts to “sweat from the brain” from the sheer cuteness resonating off of her so he quickly kisses her to stop his brain from losing control. A “tsundere Hahari” (Karane) is next who Rentarou stares at. Karane questions why he’s staring at her, and Rentarou calls her cute which makes her embarrassed. Karane says that she’s going to go back to class but Rentarou points out that everyone would be shocked to see the chairwoman sitting in a students seat, so she quickly changes her mind and the two kiss. Now left alone, a “lovey-dovey Nano” hugs Rentarou and the two watch the others' souls floating in the air before kissing.

With everyone back to their normal bodies, Hakari asks Rentarou how he felt when they weren’t their normal selves. Rentarou says that his heart went crazy but he still prefers them as their normal selves. The group then say that they want to kiss him again now they are back in their original bodies.
