Though initially skeptical, Rentarou soon discovers that it’s all true when two beautiful girls, Hakari Hanazono and Karane Inda, declare their love for him on the very day they meet him. BUT (there’s always a “but”) the god of the shrine had omitted a vital detail: if any of his soulmates fail to establish a relationship with him, they would face death. Suddenly, Rentarou finds himself with the fate of his one hundred soulmates in his hands, so with little choice, he decides to accept the challenge and date all of them.
