The romantic comedy harem anime, The 100 Girlfriends Who Really, Really, Really, Really, Really Love You, known as Hyakkano, is confirmed to return with its third season in 2026. This announcement was made during a special event celebrating the series. Attendees and online viewers were shown a new trailer and an exclusive official key visual, both designed to reflect the show's blend of charm and romantic energy.

Fans can anticipate the continuation of Rentaro Ajo’s expanding love life. The third season will develop existing relationships and introduce new characters to the cast.

The newly released key visual provides a look into this expanded world, featuring all characters in vibrant outfits, symbolizing the energy and affection central to Hyakkano's appeal.

Season 2 concluded in March 2025, generating anticipation for future developments. This next chapter of Rentaro's journey will be produced by Bibury Animation Studios.

Director Hikaru Sato will lead the project, alongside series composer Takashi Aoshima and character designer Akane Yano, who also serves as chief animation supervisor. Their combined experience aims to maintain the distinct charm and humor that have resonated with viewers globally.

Hyakkano is based on the original manga series, written by Rikito Nakamura and illustrated by Yukiko Nozawa. This manga has been serialized in Shueisha's Weekly Young Jump since 2019. With 23 manga volumes released by late 2025, the series continues to receive popularity and critical recognition. The anime’s vocal cast will also feature returning voices, including Suzuko Mimori as Mei Meido, Rie Takahashi as Iku Suto, and Lynn as Mimimi Utsukushisugi, ensuring consistent performances.
