Yoshino Aoyama is attached to a wide slate of 2026 and 2027 anime: Blue Box Season 2 (currently airing), The Salty Koharu Has a Soft Spot for Me, and The Laid-Off Cheat-Granting Mage this fall, plus Dengeki Daisy, Bless, and Seven Sleeping Beauties in 2027.
Yoshino Aoyama's current slate is unusually broad, spanning six announced productions that reach from fall 2026 into 2027. In June, the adaptations of The Laid-Off Cheat-Granting Mage Enjoys a New Life and The Salty Koharu Has a Soft Spot for Me both confirmed her as part of their casts, and both are set to premiere in October 2026. She is also the only performer to appear on all three of those initial fall announcements: the P.A. Works production, the Tezuka Productions romantic comedy, and Blue Box Season 2.
Blue Box Season 2 is the one that has already aired. Her character Yumeka Kido, introduced in the season's second cour, is the subject of both the episode 26 preview materials and an interview about playing a hostile role. In that interview, Aoyama described Yumeka as a character who carries negative feelings the story had not shown much before. That framing is the main throughline across the recent coverage, which treats the role as a shift away from her softer parts.
Looking further out, three 2027 titles place her in large ensemble casts. She voices Teru Kurebayashi in the Dengeki Daisy adaptation at Studio DEEN, Oroka Sumeragi in Bless on Fuji TV's Noitamina block, and Kiara in Seven Sleeping Beauties from Studio Gokumi and AXsiZ SMASH. Dengeki Daisy and Bless carry confirmed premiere years; Seven Sleeping Beauties is scheduled for a 2027 debut.
Two things stand out across the cluster. First, the breadth of studios and genres she is working across. Second, how much of the recent coverage is about one role's reception rather than the rest of her slate. The most recent items lean heavily on Blue Box and Bless, while the earlier cast announcements provide the rest of the picture.

Aoyama describes Yumeka as someone who holds negative feelings the story has not shown much before, and says she deliberately kept distance from co-star Reina Ueda, who plays Chinatsu, because of how the two characters relate.
