The 100 Girlfriends Who Really, Really, Really, Really, Really Love You Season 3 will premiere on July 5, 2026, with a new key visual showcasing all 17 girlfriends.
The third season of The 100 Girlfriends Who Really, Really, Really, Really, Really Love You has locked in a July 5, 2026 premiere date, with broadcast set for Tokyo MX, Sun TV, and BS11. A freshly unveiled key visual gathers all 17 of Rentaro Aijo's destined girlfriends in one frame, signaling that the harem comedy is heading into its biggest ensemble outing yet.
The announcement confirms that Hyakkano the affectionate shorthand fans use for the series will return as part of the Summer 2026 anime season. The new key visual is the first official art to assemble every girlfriend introduced across the manga's run so far in a single composition, underscoring how much the cast has expanded since Season 1 launched in 2023 with just a handful of love interests.
Production continues to be helmed by Bibury Animation Studios, the team behind both prior seasons. The studio has carried the series' signature look pastel-bright color work, exaggerated reaction faces, and the running gag of Rentaro's near-supernatural devotion — through two cours, and the third season is positioned as a direct continuation rather than a reboot or spin-off.
The seventeen-girl lineup in the new visual is significant because it sets up the ceiling for this cour's romantic roster. Season 2 closed with the cast already pushing into double digits, and the manga by Rikito Nakamura and illustrator Yukiko Nozawa has continued to introduce new girlfriends at a steady clip. Packing all of them into one promotional image suggests the season will lean into ensemble set pieces rather than isolating arcs around a single newcomer.
The broadcast trio of Tokyo MX, Sun TV, and BS11 is the standard late-night Japanese rotation for mid-budget comedies, which lines up with how the previous two seasons aired. No simulcast partner has been formally named in the latest announcement, though the prior seasons streamed internationally on day-and-date schedules.
For Indian viewers, the previous two seasons of The 100 Girlfriends streamed on Crunchyroll, including Crunchyroll India's catalogue, with Japanese audio and English subtitles. A Season 3 streaming home has not yet been formally confirmed by any platform, but the franchise's existing pipeline through Crunchyroll makes a continuation of that arrangement the most likely path. Subtitle and dub timing for the new season has also not been announced.
The gap between Season 2's late-2024 finale and the July 2026 return is roughly eighteen months a relatively tight turnaround for a comedy of this cast size, and shorter than many fans had braced for given how stacked Bibury's production slate looked heading into 2025.
The immediate things still outstanding are the full voice cast confirmation for newly animated girlfriends, the opening and ending theme artists, and the international streaming announcement. Episode count for the cour has also not been disclosed, though the prior seasons each ran twelve episodes. With the July 5 date now locked, those reveals are expected to roll out across May and June ahead of the premiere.
