Kanji compounds suck, but the correct reading of 日間 is "Nichikan".
That alligator just won't stay dead...!

Really? I can't find "nichikan" in any dictionary Shocked There is a "nikkan" reading though, but the meaning changes I think.

Btw, I can see why they had to chage the the title and that's okay but... spoiler[does the new title imply Wani lived exactly 100 days?] xd

Same, I too am wondering how it's read. My understanding is that it depends on the number; for example, 三日 is mikka, so 三日間 is mikkakan. But 100日 (百日) would be hyakunichi, so 100日間 would be hyakunichikan.

Maybe a Japanese speaker can chime in?

Fortunately, the cast confirms it:
