Warning: The content below contains spoilers for 100 Girlfriends, Season 2, Episode 3, “Can You See the Maid?”, now streaming on Crunchyroll.
The third episode of 100 Girlfriends closes with a poignant moment where Mei Meido admits her feelings for Rentarou after their eyes meet. The current episode delves deeper into Mei’s character traits and motivations.
As is customary for 100 Girlfriends, this episode is divided into two distinct parts. The first segment showcases Rentarou and Mei on their first date, while the latter part involves Hahari’s antics, compelling everyone to don maid outfits and join in an elaborate water escapade. One segment is heartwarmingly wholesome, while the other embraces a more outrageous tone.
Rentarou and Mei’s Date
The Maid Gets Served
During this memorable date, Hahari insists that Mei serve Rentarou as a personal maid for the day, allowing viewers to gain a deeper understanding of Mei’s character. Her fulfilling nature revolves around the concept of service; when Rentarou inquires about her personal interests, she can only reference her affection for Hahari and him.
This segment is infused with warmth and charm as Rentarou endeavors to help Mei express herself. He cleverly directs her to not serve him, yet Mei strives to please him regardless of his commands. In a touching conclusion, Rentarou assures Mei that her existence is enough, stating, “You’re helping me just by existing. You don’t have to follow my orders or try to serve me. Just by being yourself, you are worthy.”
The date also reveals profound insights into Mei’s past and highlights her undying loyalty to Hahari. As a child, Mei was abandoned in the snow and rescued by Hahari, who originally intended to raise her alongside Hakari. However, Mei’s eventual choice to serve Hahari as a maid stems from her deep sense of gratitude, even if Hahari’s initial motives were somewhat superficial, driven by Mei’s cuteness.
Mei Compared to Other Girls
When considering which character Mei resembles the most, Nano Eiai often comes to mind. While both characters exhibit a robotic quality in their thoughtful actions, Eiai emphasizes efficiency, engaging only in necessary tasks. In contrast, Mei’s defining trait is her dedication to loyalty, prioritizing her master’s needs above all.
Despite their partial similarities, Mei shares a stronger resemblance to Rentarou. Both characters display immense dedication to their loved ones, sometimes at the expense of logic. This similarity raises questions about Rentarou’s inconsistency when he tells Mei she need not pander to him, especially since he exhibits similar behavior with other girls. This intriguing dynamic might be explored in future episodes.
Maid of Duty
Hahari’s Wet Maid Adventure
In a whimsical turn of events from the previous episode, Hahari’s fixation on having the other girls don baby-like outfits evolves into a desire for maid costumes, revealing her humorous immaturity. For viewers who relish the zany humor of 100 Girlfriends, this segment will certainly delight.
To escalate the fun, Hahari orchestrates a water pistol competition with a kiss from Rentarou as the grand prize. The ensuing chaos is extraordinarily entertaining, showcasing a blend of absurdity and unhinged antics, particularly the sight of Eiai moving with fierce determination and Hakari’s hostage maneuvering involving her mother. This variety underscores the unique humor style of 100 Girlfriends.
Catch all the antics of 100 Girlfriends streaming now on Crunchyroll. Episode 5 is set to air on February 9, 2025, at 6:00 AM PT.
