Maomao is a young servant working within the imperial palace during a setting inspired by ancient China. Before becoming a palace maid, she worked as an apothecary in the pleasure district, where she learned everything about herbs, medicines, poisons, and illnesses. Her peaceful routine changes completely when rumors begin to spread that all of the emperor’s children are mysteriously dying at a very young age. Driven by her endless curiosity and sharp intelligence, Maomao secretly starts investigating the strange incidents, unknowingly setting in motion a story filled with mysteries, conspiracies, and hidden dangers.
As her talent for deduction becomes impossible to ignore, Maomao catches the attention of Jinshi, an enigmatic and influential court official who quickly realizes how useful her knowledge can be within the palace. From poisonings and political schemes to secrets hidden behind elegant smiles, Maomao finds herself constantly drawn into complex investigations that reveal the darker side of imperial life.
Combining historical intrigue, mystery, subtle humor, and memorable characters, The Apothecary Diaries has become one of the most beloved modern manga adaptations. Based on the hugely successful light novel series by Natsu Hyuuga, originally published on the “Shosetsuka ni Narou!” web novel platform before becoming a major publishing success in Japan, the series has surpassed 21 million copies sold.
This special edition offers an extra collectible for fans of the series, making it an ideal addition for readers who want to dive even deeper into Maomao’s fascinating world.
