Aoi Yuki is appearing in promotional and stage events for three ongoing roles: The Apothecary Diaries Season 3 and its December 11 film, the Madoka Magica film Walpurgisnacht: Rising, and Saga of Tanya the Evil II, which premiered on AT-X on July 8.
Aoi Yuki's recent coverage centers on three long-running roles, each at a different stage of release. Saga of Tanya the Evil II is the furthest along: the second season premiered on AT-X on July 8 at 9:30 p.m. JST, with Yuki voicing Tanya Degurechaff and performing the ending theme "Weiter! Weiter!" under that character. Takayuki Yamamoto directs at Studio NuT, replacing first-season director Yutaka Uemura, and Kenta Ihara and Yuji Hosogoe return in their roles. Eiji Hanawa joined the cast as Colonel Virginio Calandro.
The Apothecary Diaries is next in line. Yuki appeared at the ABEMA Anime Festival 2026 stage for the series alongside Takao Otsuka and Ryumaro Tachibana, where the discussion covered dubbing that ran in parallel on Season 3 and on The Apothecary Diaries: The Movie - The Consort's Secret Treasure, scheduled for release on December 11. The stage also covered characters to watch in the film.
Puella Magi Madoka Magica the Movie: Walpurgisnacht: Rising, the first new Madoka Magica film in 13 years, appears in coverage through promotion rather than production news. The weekly magazine anan features Madoka Kaname and Homura Akemi on the cover of special issue 2510, on shelves Wednesday, September 2, 2026, with a newly drawn illustration by main animator Kazuki Kawada credited to Shaft. The issue carries eight pages of film content, led by a dialogue between Yuki, the voice of Madoka Kaname, and Chiwa Saito, the voice of Homura Akemi.
