Chapters: 1/1 Fandom: 薬屋のひとりごと - 日向夏 | Kusuriya no Hitorigoto - Hyuuga Natsu Rating: General Audiences Warnings: Creator Chose Not To Use Archive Warnings Relationships: Jinshi/Maomao (Kusuriya no Hitorigoto) Characters: Jinshi (Kusuriya no Hitorigoto), Maomao (Kusuriya no Hitorigoto), Emperor (Kusuriya no Hitorigoto) Additional Tags: Alternate Universe - Office, Alternate Universe - Modern Setting, Alternate Universe, Pining, Jealousy, One-Sided Attraction, Jinshi's Real Name, Title from a Stray Kids Song, Hangover, Fluff, Three-act romcom, Domestic Fluff Summary:

Maomao is a cat that Jinshi just happened to take on the responsibility of feeding (with weird forensic accounting cases and crazy expensive traditional medicine). Jinshi should not be mad if she wants someone else to feed her the attention he usually lavishes on her, for a change. So, what exactly happened here?

Maomao's eyes sparkle like the stars in the sky when she laughs at something, the mischievous grin Jinshi both loves and fears clear as day on her face as she looks up and sees the guy flush beet red. Jinshi wishes that grin was focused on him instead, but he also knows he is bad at giving up on lost causes.

"I'm not sulking," Jinshi pouts, obviously sulking.

basically i was watching 2kids room and this somehow turned into a daydream which in turn became jinshi maomao fic. why is it a modern au? why is maomao an accountant? what the hell is jinshi's real name in this reality? these are all questions i cannot and will not answer at this time

[baeshijima]

it is now officially the 25th which means...

merry christmas everyone !!! regardless of whether u celebrate or not, i hope u all have a lovely day with whoever u spend it with or with urself <33

(Name) and Jinshi made cute kids, it was just a fact.

"Hello my little moonflowers" Jinshi crouched to his two pups who immediately rushed to them "papa! We know who we wanna be wanna be when we are bigger!" The eldest (daughters name) said as little (sons name) nodded and lifted his arms to be held by his dad who complied "oh? And whose that?" The man was smug, it was him obviously as these were his sons and they adored him and ---

"Maomao!"

What.

No.

/What/.

"Say that again?" His voice shaking as the youngest looked at him "wa be maomao!!" His voice excited as the Alpha looked dejected "you wanna be her?" He whimper as the elder daughter nodded "she's so cool!"

"Why is he so glum?" Maomao asked as she sipped her tea, glancing at the pouting prince as the children played with their toys "oh he's just huffy that the pups said they wanted to be like you when they're older opposed to them being like him" (name) said simply as the youngest came for a treat "isn't that right my little sunflower?" (Name) asked his son who ate his treat "I wa be maomao!" He said happily and Jinshi groaned, looking at maomaos smug as hell expression "well maybe when your older I can teach you about herbs and what not to eat"

"Can I too?!" (Daughters name) asked excitedly and maomao looked to the two Royals "of course you may, my little moonbeam" (name) gently fixed her hair and the young child beamed at this "yaaay!"

One who looked into this scene would be confused about maomao being so informal with the prince and his family but to those in the know, maomao is (name)s right hand, the one he speaks to outside of Jinshi.

"Now, what do we say?"

"Thank you maomao!"

"Stop pouting Jin! Your face will freeze like that!"

[disneysooner]

Similarities between two of the “opposites attract” couples of anime: Tamaki Suoh x Haruhi Fujioka and Jinshi x Maomao

1. The ladies are super smart on most things; all except when a boy is trying to woo her with their charms. They were also both “kidnapped” to some degree into a world they never would have imagined themselves being a part of.

2. The gentlemen are both flirtatious and make most every woman they come across swoon; all except they really want to impress.

3. Most times, when the boy tries to flirt with the girl, they either cringe or give them the look of disapproval.

4. When things don’t quite go the way they want and they hit a depressed state, the boys tend to find a good corner, sulk in the darkness, and grow mushrooms.

5. What the boys have learned, though, is the ladies can be swayed a little easier with things they especially like.

Haruhi can easily be swayed with yummy foods.

Maomao can be swayed with anything medicinal related and occasionally food.

The Real Anime Awards of 2023 part 2

Every year, I become increasingly disappointed in the Crunchyroll Anime Awards, so I started making my own Anime Award lists THAT ARE FOR THE ACTUAL YEAR IN ANIME! IF CRUNCHYROLL WON'T INCLUDE FALL SHOWS THEN I WILL! I've already done my silly version for 2023, so now it's time for my serious picks. But it's still just for fun, so don't take any of my nominees too seriously or get offended that I didn't include your favorites. Even I can't watch everything.

Full disclosure, I don't include all the same categories that Crunchyroll does (just most of them). These are also only for television shows, so I didn't include any movies (and I really don't watch enough anime movies on a yearly basis to include a movie category).

Anime of the Year

Vinland Saga season 2

Zom 100 Bucket List of the Dead

Oshi no Ko

Frieren Beyond Journey’s End

I actually respect this show’s character design a lot, considering the artists were able to make realistic, distinct, varied female characters of all shapes and sizes without making them into moe blobs. So that's why this is on here instead of another shounen of the week.)

Jujutsu Kaisen season 2

Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End

Best OP (yes there are 8 nominations, I couldn't decide 😭)

Jujutsu Kaisen season 2 (“Specialz” King Gnu)- I really think this season’s OPs should be taken as a pair, but when it comes down to which OP will stand the test of time, I think this one will be more iconic.

Vinland Saga season 2 OP2 (“Paradox” Survive Said the Prophet)

Oshi no Ko (“Idol” YOASOBI)

High Card (“Trickster” Five New Old)

Hell’s Paradise (“Work” Millennium Parade)

Tengoku Daimakyou (“Innocent Arrogance” BiSH)

The Legendary Hero is Dead (“Shinda” Masayoshi Ōishi)

Zom 100: Bucket List of the Dead (“Song of the Dead” Kana-Boon)

Honorable mention: Link Click season 2 (honestly this is probably the best OP of the year, but since the show isn’t Japanese, I have to exclude it 😣)

Best ED

Tengoku Daimakyou (“Dare mo Kare mo Doko mo Nani mo Shiranai” ASOBI Doumei)

Oshi no Ko (“Mephisto” Ziyoou-vachi)

Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End (“Anytime Anywhere” milet)

Dr. Stone New World part 2 (“Suki ni Shinayo” Anly)

Spy x Family season 2 (“Todome no Ichigeki” Vaundy ft. Cory Wong)

Migi to Dali (“Skyline” Nulbarich)

Best VA Performance Japanese

Uemura, Yuuto As Thorfinn (Vinland Saga season 2)

Takahashi, Rei as Tomo (Tomo-chan is a Girl)

Satao, Gen as Ganta Nakami (Insomniacs After School) His laugh is so pure and genuine, I could listen to it forever!

Inoue, Marina as Armin Arlert (Attack on Titan the final season)

Tanezaki, Atsumi as Anya Forger (Spy Family season 2)

Nakamura, Yuuichi as Satoru Gojo (Jujutsu Kaisen season 2)

So there you have it! My picks for the real anime awards of 2023. Like I said, don't take this seriously at all, it's just something fun I like to put together every year. I always try not to nominate the same things, but it's easy to end up playing favorites. It's so hard to try to include a variety!

omg the jinshi x maomao brain rot is growing but what do you mean the original light novel series hasn't finished and there are 2 separate ongoing mangas

[landofanimes]

The Apothecary Diaries

Books x Anime Part 1

I made this visual guide to illutraste the progression of the anime!

The first part of season 1 (episodes 1-12) covered the first volume of the light novels, which corresponds to volumes 1-4 of Nekokurage's manga or volumes 1-3 of Kurata's manga.

See part 2: [x]

Note that the 2 manga versions are separate, ongoing adaptions of the light novels. The first one, drawn by Nekokurage, seems to be more commonly licensed abroad.

Kurata's manga is subtitled Maomao's Rear Palace Mystery-Solving Notebook in Japan.

Anime 2023 review

Now this year has been peak cinema guys!! Here are some of the anime I watched and loved in 2023:

Oshi No ko

Tengoku Daimakyo

Demon Slayer: swordsmiths village arc

Jujutsu kaisen: Shibuya district arc

Zom 100: Bucket list of the dead

My Happy marriage (+manga)

My love story with Yamada kun at lvl 999 (+ manga)

Akatsuki no Yona (+read the entire manga till date!! And still following)

Spy X family: Cruise ship arc (following manga too)

The Apothecary Diaries (manga + light novel also)

Usually when I like the story, and my curiosity gets the best of me (like MaoMao) I check out the manga as well, and when I like it, I start following it as well!

In 2023, Oshi No Ko, Tengoku Daimakyo and the Apothecary Diaries was an absolute gem ❤️🔥 These anime left such a huge impact on me!! I was left hooked for months and I cannot wait for Oshi No Ko season 2!!

Demon Slayer and JJK were alright. Peak cinema, yada yada what everyone says. The animation was no doubt phenomenal, however the story was a bit lacking in these two (but that's just my personal opinion)

Zom 100 was surprisingly good. Its irregular schedule was its downfall, as it reduced all the excitement we had and then it went on an unexpected hiatus...but anyways, it came back on Dec 25 and it was nice. I'll give it a go if they publish season 2.

PEAK SHOUJO

With My Happy Marriage, Yamada kun at lvl 999, and the Apothecary Diaries, this year was carried by Shoujo!! And I haven't watched it yet but "Frieren" I have heard was also an absolute banger!!

Plus there was My Hero Academia and its final war arc TogaChako, Spy X family with Yor and the Cruise ship arc, I felt like the female representation was pretty good this year.

Like hands down these beautiful ladies!!

Ochako, Yor, Yona, MaoMao, Akane (loving Yamada), Ai Hoshino, Ruby, YOU MADE MY YEAR!!!

Thank you!!!

Fairytail 100 Year Quest was a bit disappointing after its great build up till the Selene arc, let's hope it gets better.

I haven't been able to post in a while cause my MCA exams are going on, but after those are over (on Jan 5) damn sure I'm gonna be posting tons of analysis, predictions and whatnot posts on my blog!!

Till then, love ya guys!! ❤️

~See yaa

Also, thank you for reading my posts in 2023!! Make sure you check them out on 2024 too!! Bye🤗🤗
