Yaeka Kitamori Shines in New Character Visual for 'Botan Kamiina Fully Blossoms When Drunk' Anime Ahead of Spring 2026 Debut

Anticipation is high for the upcoming television anime adaptation of Botan Kamiina Fully Blossoms When Drunk (Kamiina Botan, Yoheru Sugata wa Yuri no Hana). The series recently released a character visual for Yaeka Kitamori. This reveal is a key step in the promotional efforts leading to its premiere in April 2026.

The new visual, distributed through official channels, depicts Yaeka as a third-year university student. Her distinct demeanor and sophisticated style are expected to bring a dynamic energy to the cast. Miyu Tomita provides the voice for Yaeka, a character described as an outdoors enthusiast who holds a motorcycle license. Her personality combines mature sensibilities with youthful exuberance, a quality anticipated to add depth to the narrative. Tomita expressed her enthusiasm, stating that the original manga's delicate and heartwarming nature captivated her. She hopes fans will enjoy seeing these characters animated, perhaps while having a celebratory drink themselves.

Production Team and Voice Cast Details

The production team is conducting a weekly promotional campaign, unveiling new cast members every Friday. Tomita's announcement, accompanied by a character trailer, has generated interest within the fan community following the anime's development.

Takashi Sakuma, known for his work on 16bit Sensation: Another Layer, directs the series, which is produced by Studio Soigne. Shuntaro Tozawa serves as assistant director, Ko Yoshinari is the character designer, Yoko Yonaiyama handles series composition, and Kana Hashiguchi composes the musical score.

The voice cast is led by Sayumi Suzushiro, who voices Kamiina Botan. Botan is a 20-year-old college freshman who discovers a bolder side of herself after her first drinking experience. She is joined by Yoshino Aoyama as Ibuki Tonami, Minako Kotobuki as Kanade Gujo, and Yurina Amami as Akane Yusa.

Source Material and Anime Adaptation

The manga, created by Hei, has been serialized since 2019 on Akita Shoten’s Manga Cross. Its popularity stems from its blend of comedy, subtle yuri undertones, and an authentic portrayal of early university life. Each character visual, including Yaeka's, is designed to reflect the distinct personalities and aesthetic of the manga's cast, aiming for a faithful animated adaptation.

With its creative team, voice performances, and commitment to the source material, Botan Kamiina Fully Blossoms When Drunk is positioned to be a notable slice-of-life series in the Spring 2026 anime season.
