The Apothecary Diaries

"Great period piece anime. It has a very interesting storyline with some humorous bits. "

"I really enjoyed this anime! It had comedy, romance, mystery, and very likable characters. I can’t wait for season 2. "

"I didn't know much about this before I started it and thought it was going to be a cheesy romance anime. I was so wrong. It had a depth that hooked me like I've never been hooked before, the plot and subplots, the character development, the revelation of what everyone was going through as a reflection of the times, and that ending, it was everything! Even the frequent partial nudity didn't feel like fan service to me (I don't think I've ever finished an anime with that much in it before) since you knew they were doing it because they were raised and taught in that lifestyle. And they confirmed Season 2 straight up! I'll be waiting!!!"

"Loving this so far, would love to see more anime’s like this!"

"A truly excellent and enjoyable story. I liked the various different story aspects (romance, comedy, mystery, procedural, etc) coming together in this story. I also thoroughly enjoyed having a female main character who is decidedly not a starry-eyed romantic and would literally rather ingest poison, thank you very much. Season 1 just ended, and I already can't wait for Season 2."

"Waiting for the new season, I absolutely loved this show. "

"It's so refreshing to see a main character that's as confident and strong as Maomao. Can't wait for s2, I'm tempted to start reading the manga."

"I love this series , so unqiue and breath fresh air . It one those animes that so good I ended getting the manga because I can't wait for more of it . It does stay close to the source to."

"The dynamic between Jinshi and Maomao is absolutely amazing and hilarious. Maomao is my spirit animal, she's hilarious and so incredibly clever. Can't wait for season 2!"

"Every episode had the same plot I swear"
