KOUSHOKU NO CHUUGI KUNOICHI BOTAN HAS NO VOTE THIS WEEK
Synopsis
Barely finished with her training, apprentice kunoichi Botan has everything go sideways: her master gets captured, and the village chief looks at her, the least experienced ninja around, and says "you're up." That's the setup for this 2025 OVA adapted from a manga, and it leans hard into historical Japan with all the shadowy intrigue you'd expect from a story about female ninja operatives. The appeal here is watching someone genuinely underprepared get thrown into a mission way above her pay grade. Botan has to rely on whatever incomplete training she's picked up, figure things out on the fly, and deal with enemies who are far more seasoned than she is. There's a conspiracy layered underneath the rescue mission, so the story has more going on than just the surface-level action. Fair warning: this is a hentai OVA from Studio Blue Bread, so know what you're getting into. But if you've ever been curious about the kunoichi side of ninja stories, this one puts it front and center rather than as a side note. The historical village setting and the focus on loyalty and personal growth give it a bit more narrative backbone than you might expect from the genre. If you liked the ninja world-building in Basilisk: Kouga Ninpou Chou or the kunoichi-focused angle of Kunoichi Tsubaki no Mune no Uchi, this covers similar territory with a decidedly more adult approach. Ninja Scroll fans might also find the tone familiar.

soifong_stinger★★★★☆EP 1The art style is so expressive and watching Botan go from a shy college student to a total flirt caught me off guard
umibozu_usurper★★★☆☆EP 1I didn't expect the yuri energy to be so strong during the drinking scene because Botan becomes such a smooth talker with a little alcohol
iris_cannary_171★★★★☆EP 1That moment when Ibuki started hiccuping was so cute and then drunk Botan just starts flirting out of nowhere
buruburu_blade★★★☆☆EP 1I was super impressed by the opening animation and seeing Botan totally flip her personality after one drink was so funny
peepe_wabawaba_487★★★★☆EP 1Seeing Botan and Ibuki together feels just like Nijika and Bocchi again and the college setting makes the drinking scenes feel way more natural
dark_beast_ganon★★★★☆EP 1the voice acting for Ibuki is so good especially when she is stuttering because Botan is being way too bold and honest with her feelings
zashiki_zenin_96★★★★☆EP 1setting this in college was a smart choice because it makes the drinking feel natural and Botan losing her filter around Ibuki makes for some great tension
takerofsouls321★★★★☆EP 1I really appreciate that this takes place in a dorm instead of a school, because the adult themes like drinking make the romance feel way more grounded and Botan getting so bold when she is drunk caught me off guard but seeing her flirt with Ibuki like that was sweet and the soft animation style makes every scene feel so warm and cozy
cobble_290★★★★☆EP 1botanical garden of yuri is basically what we got and the way she just blossoms when she has a drink is something special to watch
asta_antimagic★★★★☆EP 1Ibuki trying to handle a drunken Botan is such a cute dynamic and it makes me want to see them just talk in their room for hours
aqua_archpriest★★★☆☆EP 1that opening sequence is actually stunning and the music fits the chill slice of life atmosphere perfectly without being too loud or distracting
megurine_marvel_496★★★★☆EP 1the way the colors look so soft during the drinking scenes really helps the cozy feeling of the college setting and the ending song visuals looked beautiful
tael★★★★☆EP 1seeing Botan turn into a total flirt after just a few drinks is the funniest thing ever and seeing how flustered Ibuki gets in the dorm is great
luck_lightning★★★☆☆EP 1it is so cool that the animation feels so fluid when they are moving around the dorm, and seeing Botan basically transform into a different person when she is tipsy is such a great hook
