[APOTHECARY DIARIES CHAPTER 72] . . . . Ah-Duo disguising herself as Jinshi to help him out and attended the meeting with Lakan and Shishou. (Jinshi is worried for Maomao since she hasn‘t returned).

She looks just like Jinshi

[neo--queen--serenity]

It’s incredibly important to me that the anime decided to include this scene that wasn’t in the manga. In the manga, Maomao does pass out in Jinshi’s lap after saving him from what was obviously an assassination attempt.

HOWEVER, the manga cuts off at this point, keeping strictly in Maomao’s perspective, and cuts straight to when she regains consciousness in bed after being treated for her injuries. The manga doesn’t show how she got back. They SAY how, and she briefly mentions, “wow that must have been embarrassing; he carried me back,” but we don’t SEE it. We don’t get to feel the true impact of what that means. But the anime DID show us, and holy shit.

They SHOW us how taboo this is. They show Jinshi carrying her out of the temple, after a public attempt on his life.

They show us the shock and horror on Lakan’s face as Jinshi silently walks past him. Horror at the state his daughter is in, horror at another man—a man with a status he could never dare to question—staking such a public claim over his child, horror at the fact that he could never have this level of closeness with her (as Maomao would never allow it).

Everyone hides their gazes, as is their custom when someone of his rank passes by, but the air is different this time. Jinshi is furious, he’s terrified, and he could not give a single shit about how inappropriate it looks to these palace officials.

The shot that slowly follows her trail of blood—even though it’s a small detail—that in particular leaves such a intense impression of how poignant this is for him.

Maomao talked about this scene in the manga like it was nothing to her. She did what she set out to do: she saved the person who was targeted by the attack. She didn’t even know the target would be someone she knew. But she has no idea that this happened afterwards as a result of her bravery. To her, it likely wasn’t even an act of bravery at all. She acted on impulse; she did what she knew was the right thing to do.

The anime didn’t need to include this, because the manga didn’t show it. But damn, I’m so glad they did.

Where can I read "Kusuriya no Hitorigoto" Light Novel?

Since a lot of you have been asking this question lately, here is everything you need to know in brief...

What is a Web Novel (WN) and Light Novel (LN)?

A WN is basically weekly chapters released by the main author on a weekly basis. You can find it on a lot of Japanese sites. Some amazing people also translate them on a regular basis and post those chapters. LN is a compilation of WN chapters. A number of Chapters from the WN are taken, translated, properly rewritten and edited to publish a final LN. It has a few illustrations as well like the one you can see below...

Manga, Light Novel and Anime

Basically, the LN is taken and illustrated by an artist and we call it a manga. And when the manga has reached a certain number of Chapters, and gained a lot of popularity, it is converted into an anime. So that's the flow of things. We have

WN -> LN -> Manga -> Anime

I think that clears up a lot of misunderstandings. Firstly, the WN is published on a weekly basis, some chapters from WN are taken and translated properly to make a LN. The LN is illustrated by an artist to make the manga and the manga is generally adapted to make the anime.

In case of 'Kusuriya no Hitorigoto' or 'The Apothecary Diaries', the anime is doing a great job of adapting the overall story because not only are they properly animating every scene from the manga but also adding their own scenes from the LN.

Where can I read WN, LN and Manga?

WNs are the hardest to find, since they are released on a weekly basis by the Japanese author. They are written in Japanese and a few fans translate them for everyone. You can find it here...

(They have translated chapters of vol 10, 11 and 12)

The LN has reached until vol 9 and vol 10 is scheduled to release in Jan 2024. Currently, there is no source where you can find it for free (not that I know of, because even I have purchased the e book from Amazon) though the first few pages are available to read for free! So you can check them out!

Where did the Anime, Manga left off?

The Manga has reached ch 68. If you want to start reading the light novel from where the manga left off, you can start reading from vol 4, chapter 4.

The Anime has released ep 12 and it has covered manga material till ch 20, if you want to read manga after finishing the anime.

If you have any other questions regarding the LN, WN, Anime or Manga, feel free to ask!

Maomao: Jinshi is the most beautiful person in the land. Nations would go to war for his beauty. Women would pass out from ecstacy if they see a glimpse of his face. His voice is pure honey and the way he walks puts swans into shame. Absolutely gorgeous.

Jinshi: *smiles at Maomao while batting his eyelashes*

Maomao: fucking disgusting

My Apothecary Diaries piece ✨ I got mixed feelings about it but eehh, I will try to do better next time, but anyways, here it is!

[fandomcentralsstuff]

Jinshi: *hugs Maomao*

Maomao, red in the face: You PERVERT

Jinshi: ……

Jinshi: We’re literally married

[girlthingmike]

this made me laugh out loud

[eyesofanapothecarian]

ABOUT LADY GYOKUYOU!!

Do you think perhaps that her family with that red pink orange hair and emerald eyes have a common ancestor who came from Ireland or Scotland???

She is red headed and green eyes a tale tale sign of European blood.

Perhaps to prevent war some time ago a marriage arrangement from there resulted in her families beauty looks of red and jade.

Here's the evidence.

So y'all know that post that goes something like "stop saying asexual people would be immune to siren songs, the sirens would just sing promises of garlic bread or something instead of the pleasures of the flesh"?

This is Jinshi and Maomao isn't it? Maomao is incredibly put off by Jinshi's flirt-based manipulation he thought would get her wormed into his back pocket (presumably because she knows exactly what he's trying to do and he's used to that working like a charm). And Maomao's WELL aware that he's a beautiful man, usually comparing him to a celestial nymph and the like

So what does Jinshi do when he can't use conventional siren tactics to secure Maomao's help? He finds new ones: caterpillar fungi and ox beazors and poison-related cases to send her heart racing instead in order to override her caution and be able to tap into her knack for connecting the dots, and turn that talent in support of his own work still

He's singing with the promise of garlic bread (or poisons in this case) instead of sex. Huh

Promise Ring

Twitter Link

💐

child!Maomao who are friends with child!Jinshi

child!Maomao would still play in the fields because she loves plants/herbs and child!Jinshi would tag along with her bc he has a crush on her

child!Maomao who would be exasperated bc child!Jinshi asks a lot of questions (he talks a LOT) but she lets him join her bc that means an extra pair of hands to help her carry home the plants she picks (which kinda irks papa!Rakan when he learns about it. mama!Fengxian would just shush him)

child!Maomao who made a flower ring and thought something delicate and pretty would look good in child!Jinshi’s hand

child!Jinshi, who took it seriously, and thought it was a promise ring, spaced out and had 5929374921 things run in his mind after child!Maomao put it on his finger

child!Jinshi who showed Suiren, Gaoshun, Ah Duo, Yang, and other people he encounters the “promise ring”. He wears it every day and stares at it before going to sleep

papa!Rakan throwing a fit, rolling on the ground, screaming no way would he let some moon brat marry his precious daughter over his dead body

mama!Fengxian, child!Maomao, and child!Rahan just ignoring him while having tea bc they're used to it. child!Maomao wanted to tell him it’s not a promise ring but it’s too much of a bother to talk to an idiot who has snot dripping from his nose

child!Jinshi who was devastated when the promise ring wilted after 4 days, and did not show up in the field the next time.

child!Maomao, who is def not worried, asks some adults if she can talk to him, and when she finds out why he is depressed and gloomy, told him she can make another flower ring for him 

—————————-

Please note this is not my fanart. This was just shared on the KNH discord that I am in and I love it and decided to make a short JinMao au where Maomao is Rakan and FX’s daughter (as a noble lady). Jinshi is still royalty.
