The Drops of God Sets a 2027 Special Event and Reveals Its Second Cour Key Visual

What Pony Canyon announced

The team behind the ongoing wine drama The Drops of God has confirmed a special stage event for 2027. According to the official announcement from distributor Pony Canyon, the event will feature appearances from Kazuya Kamenashi and Takuya Sato, who voice rival heirs Shizuku Kanzaki and Issei Tomine. A specific date and venue have not been announced.

Pony Canyon paired the event reveal with a new key visual for the anime's second cour, placing Shizuku and Issei face to face, and released a recap video that looks back at their tasting duel so far.

The series so far

The Drops of God is the first television anime adaptation of Tadashi Agi and Shu Okimoto's long-running, internationally read wine manga. It premiered on April 10, 2026 and is running for two consecutive cours. Our catalog synopsis frames the setup: when a world-renowned wine critic passes away, his will turns his enviable collection into a contest, pitting his son Shizuku against the critic's gifted protege Issei as the two race to identify a series of legendary wines.

The source manga, serialized by Tadashi Agi and Shu Okimoto, is one of the most widely circulated wine comics in the world and has been translated for readers well beyond Japan, per Anime News Network. That reach is part of why an animated version drew attention in the first place, and why the production is investing in a recap and a promotional runway rather than letting the show coast through its back half.

Kamenashi's involvement is a notable hook. He played Shizuku in the 2009 live-action drama, and the anime marks his voice-acting debut in the role he originated, according to Oricon. Sato voices his rival Issei, with a supporting cast that includes Maaya Uchida and Yuko Kaida. The series is directed by Kenji Itoso at Satelight, in collaboration with YANCHESTER, as listed by Anime News Network.
