#Glass of God Releases 4th “Character and Cocktail” Visual

The upcoming Bartender: Glass of God anime is back with another “character x cocktail” visual. The new illustration pairs the character Yukari with a Kir Royale.

Bartender: Glass of God is set to premiere in Japan in April 2024. The anime is inspired by the Shueisha-published Bartender manga written by Araki Joh and illustrated by Kenji Nagatomo, which follows the genius bartender Ryuu. Crunchyroll will stream the show outside Japan.

The Bartender manga ran from 2004 to 2012 and has been collected into 21 tankoubon volumes. Multiple follow-ups like Bartender à Paris, Bartender à Tokyo, and Bartender 6stp came after it. The later titles were drawn by Osamu Kajisa. 

The manga was previously adapted into a 2006 anime series and a 2011 TV drama. Crunchyroll and Prime Video streamt the anime, which the latter describes as:

At the Eden Hall bar, genius bartender Ryu Sasakura serves divine drinks and helps out his customers with whatever troubles they have.
