Finding Girlfriendo (ファインディング・カノ Faindingu Kano?) is the two hundred and tenth chapter of the 100 Kanojo manga.
Summary[]
Rentarou is invited to an aquarium. There he finds his girlfriends have become mermaids?!
To his surprise, he sees Nemu, Yaku, and Uto underwater and apparently having transformed into mermaids. Just as he considers breaking the glass to free everyone, Karane, Mai, Yamame, Hahari, and Naddy appear, with the first three explaining to Rentarou that they wanted to do something special for him as thanks for everything he has ever done for them, so Hahari rented out the entire aquarium while Kusuri gave everyone a drug to let them breathe underwater (all of this Rentarou interpreted from the girl's attempt to talk underwater). Rentarou sincerely thanks everyone as he sees Saki as a manta ray, Meme as a clownfish and hiding in an (artificial) anemone, and Momiji as an octopus ready to grope everyone. Simply put, Rentarou felt like he was now in Atlantis.
Rentarou then sees that Tama, Kurumi, Hasuha, and Rin have all become sharks, Mimimi, Matsuri, and Ahko have become jellyfish, and Meru and Himeka have become anglerfish mermaids in the deep sea exhibit. Rentarou goes over to the touch tank where he sees Hakari and Momoha wearing (artificial) starfish bikini tops, inviting Rentarou to touch them. He instead touches their heads, but they both enjoy it. Nano, Kishika, and Eira have become dolphins due to their athleticism, while Iku and Mei have become sea lions performing tricks. The younger girls, Shizuka, Suu, Chiyo, and Kusuri, along with Shiina, are all dressed as penguins, all of which Rentarou thoroughly enjoys.
After that Rentarou heads to the food court for lunch, but he comes across An Baba, who says that she heard a story that a nun devoured the flesh of a mermaid and gained eternal youth, and she plans on doing the same with all of Rentarou's girlfriends so she can enjoy men to her heart's content. Rentarou tries to explain that they aren't actually mermaids, but An doesn't believe him, having fully been consumed by her own desires. An grabs a large fork and knocks Rentarou away before rounding everyone up in a net to take out to see so no one can interfere with her.
Once out at sea, though, Rentarou gives chase, but even he starts tiring out after swimming so hard. A shark then swims up and tries to bite Rentarou's lower half off, but thankfully, his Astro Boy briefs ended up being hard enough to break the shark's teeth, which he thanks Hakari for. As Rentarou starts kicking harder, he ends up causing the shark immense pain, prompting it to swim forward to escape it, which also speeds Rentarou up. He manages to get ahead of An, but she tries attacking him with the giant fork again. This time, however, Rentarou grabs it, saying he let his guard down before, but due to bumping into a ton of seaweed and other objects while swimming, when he appears before An, he actually looks like Poseidon. Still, An tries to attack him, but suddenly a giant whale emerges and swallows her whole, apparently thinking it helped the real Poseidon. Once free, the girls all crowd and thank Rentarou for saving them, causing him to pass out from being exposed to their bare skin.
The next day, the vice principal returned to school and resumed her daily activities like nothing happened.
