Well, Ikimono High 1st was the first year of Kei in this is school, Ikimono High 2 was the second, so i think the third should be the last year of him at Ikimono High, and then, if you think about a fourth Ikimono High, then yes, make one with full new characters ( Except for the profissionals that work on it, like Sutekina [ Nurse ] and Akuma [ teacher ], but of course, always in improved style ).
About the gameplay keep it as a mixture of both, as it is one of the things that make Ikimino High series different and more fun compared to the others, but to improve it now, you can for example, add multiple dialogue subjects to Kei talk with others, like, what they like, what they think about some topics ( and of course, they dialogue options and opinions will be influencied by the hearts Kei have with them [ maybe events too ]), and talk with other grades students like Hapi-chan. One more thing you can do is add a Music on/off button, as i like to do multiple things while i play, like watch vids and listen my own musics, then i need to open the volume mixer in windows to toggle it off.
But when ( or if ) you make the 4, with a new human coming to the Ikimono High, then yes, make a more complex and challenging dating visual novel game, like adding quests, challenges, a map to go to multiple places, maybe stats etc. Maybe add it even now, but that's a challenge up to you, as something like that will require much more programming skills and time, but like i said, it's up to you my friend, good luck with everything and continue your great work.

I agree with Lablood, the game would be more enjoyable with more places to see (not necesary to visit, like a dating sim) . Maybe, in a future, you should consider team up with another programers to make your work more easier...
I almost sent you a character idea, but I remembered that I am bad to draw girls.
