Weekly Star-Studded Specials Confirmed! Special Programs to Air Before and After "Botan Kamiina Fully Blossoms When Drunk"

It has been announced that a special weekly program titled "Botan Kamiina: Stories to Pair with Your Drink" will be broadcast exclusively for free on ABEMA. These specials will air immediately before and after the premiere of the new TV anime series, "Botan Kamiina Fully Blossoms When Drunk."

Based on the manga by Hei, currently serialized in Champion Cross (Akita Shoten), the series is a "drinks & youth" story. The plot follows Botan Kamiina, a 20-year-old university student (who has reached the legal drinking age in Japan) who moves into a dormitory upon starting college. After a chance encounter with the dorm leader, Ibuki Tonami, Botan begins to form deep bonds with her fellow residents through the shared experience of enjoying fine drinks. The animation is produced by Studio Soigne.

The exclusive program, "Botan Kamiina: Stories to Pair with Your Drink," will feature a radio-style format with a weekly rotating cast. Fans can look forward to 30-minute talk sessions twice every Friday: first at 11:30 PM (JST) leading up to the episode, and again at 12:30 AM (JST) following the broadcast.

The guest lineup for the first two weeks has also been revealed. The first episode will feature Sayumi Suzushiro (voice of Botan Kamiina) and Yoshino Aoyama (voice of Ibuki Tonami). The second episode will feature Minako Kotobuki (voice of Kanade Gujo) and Miyu Tomita (voice of Yaeka Hokuto).

The TV anime "Botan Kamiina Fully Blossoms When Drunk" will begin its simulcast on ABEMA starting Friday, April 10 at Midnight (JST). The latest episodes will be available for free streaming for one week following their release.
