100 Girlfriends is a great manga:

After reading the latest chapter which combines baseball, cute girls and Dragon Ball, I surrender.  This is a great manga, hilarious, heartwarming, inspirational and groundbreaking.  It has no anime, so it's pure value added as well.  This was enough to reach #57 in my manga hall of fame.  The series is yet young so it could keep rising higher from here.

100 Girlfriends replaces Sakura Zensen which lacks an English translation, always making it a poor fit for my rankings.

'100 Girlfriends' is like the mirror image of '100 Waifus,' so go figure reflecting the best book ever written will result in a great manga too.  It's standard operating procedure to include all my hall of fame series in '100 Waifus,' so I added Shizuka to the list of children, taking out Nodoka Haramura to make room.

I used to like Nodoka, but Ritz Kobayashi kept drawing her with larger and larger breasts until she's become an ugly monstrosity that should never see the light of day.  Nodoka looks better in the spinoff manga because she's drawn by more sensible artists, but Ritz is the original author so her Nodoka is the 'official' way she's supposed to look -- which is awful.  I couldn't take it anymore and wanted her gone from my fictional character hall of fame, and the cute quiet-shy-Loli-type Shizuka is like medicine to an open wound.  The perfect reverse replacement to what was there before.

All the necessary additional edits to '100 Waifus' to accommodate the changes have also been made.
