### Delving Into the Original Work and the Story's Appeal
According to Seven Seas Entertainment, which offers the English version of the manga, Aijo Rentaro's premise involves him confessing repeatedly but being rejected due to a mistake by a god. As a result, 100 destined partners appear sequentially, but ignoring them leads to the unique scenario where they might meet with unforeseen accidents, adding intrigue to the story.
Should he respond to each one individually or explore other options? Rentaro's internal struggle and decisions keep the audience entertained, drawing attention to how the series will unfold in the future.
