100 Girlfriends Episode 31 Shrinks Nano Down to Pocket Size
The episode leans on Rentaro's devotion to Nano rather than her usual efficiency gimmick, and it opens up the series' recurring meet-the-parents plotline with Kusuri's family.

Episode 31 of The 100 Girlfriends Who Really, Really, Really, Really, Really Love You shrinks Nano down to a tiny size thanks to one of Kusuri's drugs. The episode uses the setup for cute gags, including Nano riding in Rentaro's shirt pocket and getting caught in Hahari's cleavage, while also exploring Rentaro's devotion to her. The back half introduces another meet-the-parents scenario with Kusuri's family.
Kusuri's drugs are the engine again in episode 31, and this time the target is Nano. The efficiency expert gets shrunk to a tiny size, which gives the episode room for a string of small-scale gags: eating oversized food, riding in Rentaro's shirt pocket, and getting caught in Hahari's cleavage.
The segment works because it sets Nano's deadpan delivery against a situation that is inherently cute. Rentaro builds her a tiny notebook and a box-bed, and he covers for her fear of heights when a plastic bag carries her off, forcing him to risk his safety to bring her back.
The back half shifts to Kusuri's parents, continuing the series' pattern of introducing mothers-in-law after the earlier Hahari arc. The episode acknowledges the recurring contrivance of Kusuri's drugs in its B-part.
