The 100 Girlfriends Who Really, Really, Really, Really, REALLY Love You

Who would've thought the Japanese teacher would win the lottery and quit?

Data says 78% of people would like to hit financial independence and retire early.

But...

Soon running out of money and going back to work comes with the FIRE experience.

My seed fund!

What is this, an unHappy Meal?

I wonder what the new teacher will be like.

"I would hope they like tomes."

I hope they're nice.

I'd like them to have common sense and know how to conduct a class.

Uh, that's the bare minimum for any teacher?

You realize it's a new character in this anime?

Oh, then maybe we should expect someone who put all their points into Japanese.

Someone who's such an expert at Japanese that they speak only in kanji?

I think that's called Chinese.

Howdy, Japan school people!

I hail from America, the home of the brave!

Y'all can call me Miss Naddy!

Never mind, we got Perry in the house!

I thought we were getting a new Japanese teacher?

Oh, uh...

Golden twintail girl!

Huh? Uh...

I'm Inda Karane.

Thank you, Ninja Karane.

I said Inda.

You're pointing out how I look more like I teach democracy than Japanese, yeah?

Can you blame me, given your getup and all?

It ain't good to judge a gun by its holster.

Who said American teachers could only teach English? The founding fathers?

Does the Constitution say teachers gotta dress prim and proper?

That mindset's older than the trees in this marketplace of ideas!

I came from the land of the free to teach you how to be free!

Just teach us Japanese!

Wow, you school people go to town fact-checking teachers.

You freedom of speech excellently!

Also, what is with your nonsensical English?!

My English too native, my steak too juicy,

for you Japan people to get.

How 'bout I turn you into steak?!

Th-There, there.

Thank you, Japanese school boy.

Oh, no problem.

Um...

Hey, eyebrow boy.

It's Aijo Rentaro.

Krrrack!!

Uh, Aijo m'boy, you...

You're staying with me after school for extra lessons!

Why?!

E-Er...

Your eyebrows are too distracting! They're like the freeway.

What does that mean?

Don't ask me. My Japanese is N6 level.

Aren't you our Japanese teacher?!

Go back to your country!

U-Um, Naddy-sensei?

What can I get started for ya?

The hero's united state of mind? His hot-blooded father's passion?

N-No, I'm not talking about the question.

Don't you think you're sitting too close to me?

That's an unproblematic no problem.

The Department of Redundancy Department!

We like to get all up in your face in America!

O-Okay, but this is Japan!

Aijo m'boy, do you not like this one-on-one lesson with me?

I-I don't not like it...

You're so cute, Aijo m'boy!

S-Sensei!

Ooh, Japanese boy going wild!

O-Ow.

Hugs are a dime a dozen in America.

I see you're a shy li'l boy.

N-Naddy-sensei?

This is just how we say hello.

But that one was a bit exceptional.

Seems to me that I've taken a lovin' to you, Aijo m'boy.

Listen, I get it.

You're school people, and I'm a teacher.

This love is a threat to justice everywhere.

But it don't matter! We're free to live our lives any way we see fit!

And our hearts are free to love how they want!

So, Aijo m'boy,

please go out with me.

Naddy-sensei...

Aijo m'boy...

You're actually Japanese, aren't you?

You know enough Japanese to be a Japanese teacher in Japan.

I thought maybe you studied really hard because you loved Japanese culture,

but you seem to be more into freedom and burgers,

and your English is quite, uh, unique.

But I wasn't sure until just now.

"Love confessions" are only a thing in Japan and a few other countries.

Americans don't really do what you just did.

R-Right.

I've never been in love before, and it made me blind.

It was a first amendment moment for me.

Look, you can drop it now.

Naddy-sensei... No, what is your name?

Who are you really?

There's no way out of this.

I'm the eldest daughter of the Yamatos, Yamato Nadeshiko, twenty-four.

My English is so awful, I failed to become an English teacher.

I'm 100% locally sourced Japan-made Japanese, born and raised in Japan.

He knows.

Oh, so Naddy's short for Nadeshiko?

Yes. Not Nadia or anything like that.

How'd you become a teacher here?

I'mma be a teacher!

I forced it.

Wait, cute! Hired!

Hahari-san!

I said I came from America, and I was actually there for five minutes yesterday.

She flew the talk!

He knows... I'm busted!

How is playing the koto too hard for you?

And you call yourself the heiress of the great Yamato family?

You're a disgrace to all Japanese!

Stay in the storehouse until you learn your lesson!

But it's so hard to move in a kimono.

I don't even like playing the koto.

Why must I be forced to wear a kimono every day?

Why must I be forced to take these lessons every day?

Because I was born heiress of the Yamato family?

Because that's what it means to be Japanese?

She slammed the door so hard that things fell off the shelves,

and she tells me to close doors softly all the time?

American Film (The Devil)

Oh, Superman is very strong!

U-Unthinkable!

These kids are watching TV and...

Eating pizza!

Clutching a massive bowl of popcorn!

Drinking a two-liter bottle of Cola Cola!

I had no idea people were allowed to be so free.

And they're wearing shoes indoors!

What is with your hair? And your clothes?

You're a disgrace to the Yamato family—to all Japanese!

Never show your face here again!

F...

F*ck you.

He knows...

I'm Japanese, and I dyed my hair and dress like this!

He would never want an embarrassment like me as a girlfriend.

Uh, I-I'm sorry.

You don't have to talk about it.

I just wanted to get to know you better since we'll be together from now on.

I'm sorry.

Huh?

A-Are you sure?

I'm a Japanese girl posing as an American. Don't you find it shameful?

What's so shameful about that?

You're honest about who you want to be and aren't afraid to express yourself.

I think that's wonderful!

Please, I would love to go out with you!

Aijo-kun!

Th-Thank you kindly. I also...

Is that really how you want to say it?

Go on, Naddy-sensei.

To me,

Aijo-kun is...

big-heartedness personified,

a man as big as the land of freedom itself!

M'boy...

To li'l ol' me...

He is Captain...

America!

Aijo m'boy, I am Captain America!

And there you have it.

May I have your permission to welcome Naddy-sensei as my newest girlfriend?

You?!

What a group of freethinkers.

You love and are loved freely and true to yourselves!

Y'all could be love textbook peoples!

Mm, indeed

Mm, indeed!

You take any and all compliments, huh?

But free as you are, you're all dressed the same. Such a waste.

Meanwhile, I'm a Times Square billboard for the U-S-A spirit!

Show me what you're like when you've set yourselves free!

Hey, that sounds fun! I'll order any outfits you ladies want!
