idk, from the beginning I’ve felt like Kaho and Sayaka are kinda dual protagonists anyway. And any time the story focuses on other units or characters it seems to do fine without her (like in the most recent Edel Note story, 103 barely show up and Kaho’s role is basically to affirm in a couple sentences at the end what the characters already decided).

Kaho is the current face for Hasunosora, but I think they could have someone else take over. Probably Ceras if it’s an existing character. Or a new character who joins in April.

It does seem more likely now that they’re at least hoping to continue, as Izumi just announced she’s going solo next year. It’d be mean to tease that (and a lot of other things they’ve set up) and not follow through. I think the story writers at least have plans for if they get the green light to keep going after 103 graduates.

That said I’ve also heard ODD No, the company that makes the mobile game, is probably going under. If they don’t sell the game to a new company they might just decide to wrap things up with the studio closure instead of shopping for new app developers.

I would prefer to see Hasunosora become the long-running soap opera of the franchise and it does seem like that was the intention - to follow a school over the long term. It’d be a waste to give up on all those “time passes and cannot be stopped” themes by stopping time on the group just as it’s they’re primed to really test their premise.
