Is the Anime Really Finished?#
If you are wondering whether you can binge-watch Hyakushō Kizoku and reach a definitive conclusion, the answer is no. The series is currently ongoing. While it has already seen several installments, the production continues to expand.
As of December 2025, a fourth season has been officially announced. Because the story is based on the real-life experiences of author Hiromu Arakawa, it functions as a slice-of-life comedy rather than a plot-driven narrative with a traditional “ending.” However, for those who want the most complete experience available, you can buy the original manga to see where the inspiration began.
What is Hyakushō Kizoku About?#
Hyakushō Kizoku (also known as Aristocracia campesina or Nobles Paysans) is a delightful blend of comedy and slice-of-life. The series is uniquely personal, as it recounts author Hiromu Arakawa’s own life growing up on a farm in Hokkaido.
Readers and viewers are treated to the humorous side of agricultural life, focusing on the daily struggles of raising cows, growing vegetables, and fighting off comical pests. It is best suited for audiences who enjoy low-stress, funny, and grounded stories about rural living and hard work. If you enjoy seeing the “behind the scenes” of a farmer’s life, you can watch the anime on Prime Video.
