Cospa launches T-shirts and acrylic stands for Kami Ina Botan, Drunk Like a Lily

Cospa announced a new product line for Kami Ina Botan, Drunk Like a Lily (Kami Ina Botan, Yoheru Sugata wa Yuri no Hana). It includes full graphic T-shirts of the main characters, acrylic stands of six characters, and a stainless steel tumbler. The early sale will take place in December in Chichibu, the city where the story is set, and general distribution is scheduled for late February 2027.

The company, which specializes in official anime clothing and merchandise, presented the items under its Nijigen Cospa label. The Kami Ina Botan and Tonami Ibuki T-shirts cost 6,930 yen each, with sizes from S to XL and a single white color. Botan's tumbler, 10.5 centimeters tall and 8.5 in diameter, is priced at 2,750 yen.

The acrylic stands are the largest part of the launch. There are six in total: Botan, Ibuki, Gujo Kanade, Yusa Akane, Hokuto Yaeka, and Zhang Jinglan. Each one costs 1,650 yen and measures up to 14 by 10 centimeters, with a five-by-five base.

The announcement has a particularity that sets it apart from usual merchandising. The early sale won't be at an Akihabara store or a massive event, but at the Chichibu Local Industry Center, in Saitama Prefecture. That's where the jiba-san shoten is, a space tied to local production. The series uses Chichibu as its setting, so the location makes sense.

However, size S will not be available at the early sale. It can only be obtained through general distribution in February. Reservations for the rest of the products close on November 29, 2026, or when units run out.

What is Kami Ina Botan, Drunk Like a Lily

The series adapts the manga by Hei, published by Akita Shoten. It follows Botan, a university student who moves into a dorm in Chichibu and discovers her taste for alcohol. The title plays with the double meaning: "yōheru" refers to drunkenness and to the lily, a symbol of the yuri genre. The story mixes comedy and romance between girls, with sake and local liquors as an excuse for relationships to move forward.

The anime premiered with production by the Kami Ina Botan Seisaku Iinkai committee. The work fits into that current of recent yuri series that bet on rural settings and a calmer tone, far from high school as the only possible space. Chichibu is not a backdrop: the city appears with its streets, its shops, and now also with an early merchandise sale that reinforces that bond.

Prices and availability

• Full graphic T-shirt (Botan or Ibuki): 6,930 yen, sizes S to XL, white color.

• Acrylic stand (six characters): 1,650 yen each.

Cospa clarifies that the T-shirts have printing only on the front and that, due to the full-print technique, small imperfections may appear on seams and underarms. The tumbler, double-layered, keeps temperature and can be used as a cup holder for convenience store coffee, a practical detail that the company itself points out.

General reservations are already open at Cospa's official store and other retailers. Those who buy through the Nijigen Cospa site will receive their order when general distribution begins, in February 2027. The Chichibu early sale will be in December, with limited quantities.

The launch focuses on everyday items: clothing, a tumbler, and desktop acrylic stands. The bet is clear: to bring Botan and Ibuki off the screen without making your wallet suffer too much.
