Sadly enough, the series is doing positively TERRIBLE, nay, god-awful in Japan (the anime, not the very popular manga), so it most likely will not have any more seasons past this current one. The first season did miserably too, the only reason we have season 2 right now is because they had already signed on for two seasons prior to the 1st season even airing, since they suspected it would do well.

I don't even think we'll get to the Tsukiyo, shrinking-related Arc which would almost certainly be the first Arc of the season 3 we'll probably never get. To say nothing of Hinoki's growth-related Arc which, extrapolating their progress in adapting the manga thus far, would take up at least half-to-the-majority of season 5, since its 2 or 3 times longer than pretty much every other Arc in the entire series. Which is ironic, since on one hand its almost certainly the majority of people's least favorite Arc, and on the other its the only time Keima really had a hard time and had to actually work to suceed in a capture (then again, Hinoki had a very 'Mary-Sue' aura about her).

To put it in perspective, it's taken them 2 seasons to get through about 40 chapters with some editing and cutting of material here and there. Hinoki's Arc begins at chapter 90, 50 or more chapters away from where they're ending season 2. Odds unfortunately don't look so good.
