100 Kanojo fans rage-plan Season 3 cuts ahead of July premiere

Anime discussion on 4chan’s /a/ board erupted into detailed production speculation this week following the announcement that Season 3 of “100 Kanojo” will premiere on July 5, with users frantically mapping out which chapters the studio must cut to accommodate the series’ narrative pace.

The prevailing consensus held that a 12-episode season would require significant trimming. One user posted an elaborate breakdown of how they believed Seasons 3 and 4 should be structured, proposing that chapters covering merchandise gags and certain mall sequences hit the cutting room floor. Another respondent agreed that “the photo booth one is better” than a competing mall chapter, though added that “the interview chapter has Mei’s Frieza gag, which I’m pretty sure is beloved.”

The most volatile take centered on Kishika’s placement. One commenter wrote: “If they cut the Iku or Hahari dates to make Kishika fit in one cour then I’ll go to Bibury and make the Kyoani incident look like child’s play.” The statement, seemingly hyperbolic, reflected genuine anxiety among fans about pacing decisions.

Users debated introduction chapter quality extensively. Multiple commenters ranked girlfriend “zing” chapters by emotional resonance, with one declaring Shizuka’s “S tier” while conceding, “she’s juicing”, reportedly referencing her 40-page debut chapter length as an unfair advantage. Others ranked Nano’s and Momiji’s introductions highly, though one user confessed they could barely remember the details of Nurse Jiai’s chapter “despite her being so recent.”

Separately, users noted that Studio Bibury had released new chibi character designs and that birthday merchandise celebrations for several girlfriends had already been missed this year, with the next expected wave arriving “sometime in the second half of June.” Discussion also touched on unused girlfriend archetypes the manga has yet to explore, with commenters proposing concepts like gamer, swimmer, paranormal investigator, and shrine maiden characters.

The community appeared split on whether a Season 4 announcement was imminent, with one user noting that if Kishika debuts in Season 3, the typical endpoint around chapter 100 no longer made narrative sense.
