On his last day of middle school, Rentarō Aijō gets turned down by a girl for the 100th time. He goes to a shrine and prays for a girlfriend, and a god appears and tells him that in high school, he will meet not one, but 100 soulmates who will all fall in love with him. On his first day of high school, Rentarō simultaneously bumps into two girls, Hakari Hanazono and Karane Inda, who are both his soulmates and begin vying for his affections. Back at the shrine, the god tells Rentarō that a person is supposed to only have one soulmate if any, but because he made a mistake on the paperwork, Rentarō wound up with 100 of them. Because Hakari and Karane are both among his soulmates, he is unable to choose between them, and even if he did, any soulmate who does not get into a relationship with him will die. Rentarō briefly considers dating both of them behind each other's back, but decides against it. Finally he asks both of them to be his girlfriends at the same time, which they agree to.

Rentarō meets his third soulmate, a shy girl named Shizuka Yoshimoto who only communicates by pointing to words in a book. She loans him her favorite book, which they bond over. Later, Rentarō asks Shizuka to install a text-to-speech app on her phone, and then sends her a file containing the entire text of the book, allowing her to "speak" without breaking eye contact with the other person. Shizuka realizes that since the book was not released in an e-book format, Rentarō must have transcribed it manually by himself.

Rentarō requests a date with her to prove himself the following day, and the two visit an amusement park. Nano is befuddled by the attractions, and at the end of the day believes she gained nothing from the outing. But Rentarō proves she did gain something by almost burning the photos he took during the date, leading Nano to break down in tears and she asks Rentarō out.

Rentarō rescues Shizuka from the whirlpool before ascertaining that Karane is actually embarrassed about her own figure rather than feeling chilly. He removes her robe in one motion, revealing a white bikini she looks great in. To prove he’s not patronizing her, he draws her into a hug, and she notices his heart is racing even faster than hers.

But when they get there, they find Rentarō dressed as a girl, causing him to faint in embarrassment. After being awoken by a kiss from "Prince" Nano, Rentarō leaves to take a bath. The Hanazonos follow after him to try and peep on him, being joined by all the other girls except Shizuka, who gets tied up in a blanket to stop her from interfering. Failing to see anything through the bathhouse window, the group ventures into the attic. As the Hanazonos' cat follows them up there, Shizuka rolls her way to the bathhouse, getting pushed into the water by the Hanazonos' dog. Rentarō accidentally exposes himself to Shizuka, and after the rest of the girls emerge from the attic, Karane blurts their intentions to Rentarō, who immediately lectures the girls. Later that night, he finds Hahari at an altar for Hakari's late father and assuages her fears of unfaithfulness before kissing her.
