The anime adaptation of Tadatoshi Fujimaki's manga 'Kill Blue' (Japanese: 'Kill Ao') has announced another voice actress. Ikumi Hasegawa will take on the role of Mai Otohime, a versatile girl with two faces. Alongside this, the production team released a new everyday visual capturing the chaotic atmosphere of the home economics club.
Mai Otohime belongs to the elite group 'Mythical Creatures' (Unicorn) at Rokka Gakuen Middle School. She is an exceptional athlete in water sports and is nicknamed 'Queen of the Sea' (Mermaid Queen). Her unique trait: she possesses two personalities – the shy 'Chibi-hime' and the bold 'Gyaru-hime'. Hasegawa expressed her excitement in a statement: 'I come from a landlocked prefecture and never did water sports, but around New Year's, I felt magically drawn to the sea. Maybe Otohime called me... or I was just exhausted. Playing these two completely different sides was a blast!'
The new daily visual shows protagonist Juzo Ogami (voiced by Yuko Sanpei) balancing a stack of pancakes while Noren Mitsuoka (Fuka Izumi) generously pours syrup over them. Kotatsu Nekota (Shuichiro Umeda) reacts in shock. In the background, Tenma Tendo (Takeo Otsuka) carries the blushing club president Chisato Shiraishi (Atsumi Tanezaki) in his arms, while Shin Kohazame (Daisuke Sakuma) peeks out from a blanket with a pacifier. On the schoolyard, brothers Kazuma and Eiji Rindou (Shoya Chiba and Yoshiki Nakajima) happily play baseball.
The series is based on the manga, which ran from April 2023 to September 2025 in 'Weekly Shonen Jump' and spans 13 volumes. The anime adaptation has been airing since April 11, 2026, on Saturdays at 11:00 PM on the TV Tokyo network, comprising 12 episodes. The music is composed by Ryo Konishi, with the opening theme by aespa ('ATTITUDE') and the ending theme by RIIZE ('KILL SHOT'). The animation is produced at Studio CUE under the direction of Hiro Kaburagi. The series is approaching its finale – the tenth episode has already aired. In North America and other regions, 'Kill Blue' is streaming on platforms including Netflix, Crunchyroll, and Prime Video.
