Kusuriya No Hitorigoto (The Apothecary Diaries) Anime Visual

The anime Kusuriya no Hitorigoto has the following description: Maomao, the daughter of an apothecary, has been torn from her peaceful life and sold to the lower echelons of the imperial court. Maomao, now a mere servant, adapts to her new mundane life and hides her extensive knowledge of medicine to avoid any unwanted attention.

Soon after Maomao’s arrival, the emperor’s young children inexplicably begin to experience severe symptoms, almost as if a curse has been cast. The curious Maomao easily solves the mystery and, in order to stay out of the spotlight, attempts to leave an anonymous clue. Unfortunately, the elegant and perceptive eunuch Jinshi catches on and manages to uncover it.

In recognition of her talent, Maomao is promoted to lady-in-waiting to the emperor’s favorite concubine, Gyokuyou. As Maomao remedies the many ailments afflicting the imperial court, her pharmaceutical knowledge soon proves indispensable.
