As a seasoned gamer and anime enthusiast with over two decades of experience under my belt, I can confidently say that I am eagerly anticipating Season 2 of “The Apothecary Diaries.” This series has managed to captivate me with its unique blend of romance, intrigue, and historical setting. The character development, particularly the slow-burning relationship between Maomao and Jinshi, has been nothing short of engaging. I find myself drawn to the complexities of their dynamic, which is far from typical in anime romance.


The television series adaptation of “The Apothecary Diaries,” which concluded its first season earlier this year, is now gearing up for Season 2 in the anime world. The show has sparked excitement with a unique poster featuring Jinshi’s return, setting the stage for the Fall season. Despite being a rare romance story, its success warranted a second season even before it began airing, surprising many with its popularity.

The series titled “The Apothecary Diaries” has been gradually developing a unique kind of romantic plotline between its principal characters, Maomao and Jinshi. Unlike typical romance series, the relationship between them is complex due to Maomao’s suspicion that Jinshi is not just a eunuch, but also concealing a significant secret about his true identity, which may be linked to the Emperor.

What Is The Apothecary Diaries?

Back in 2011, Natsu Hyuga and Touko Shino brought to life a captivating series called “The Apothecary Diaries.” As a devoted fan, I found myself immersed in the tale of a remarkable young woman named Maomao. Born as the daughter of a village apothecary in ancient China, she was snatched away and forced to work within the Imperial Palace.

In this stage, a delicate bond forms between Maomao and Jinshi as not only does he grow fond of the wisdom and skill she possesses, but she fails to return his feelings. Instead, she maintains her composure in accordance with the court’s customs, making their love story one that never quite blossoms. The narrative is unusual because he deceives her, and it’s questionable whether she sees him in the same light. This is what has made it so popular among fans.

What to Know About The Apothecary Diaries Season 2

The second season of “The Apothecary Diaries” TV anime is being produced now, as announced after the conclusion of the first season. Set for release in 2025, a specific date has not yet been confirmed. The returning staff and cast promise to further develop the blossoming romance between Maomao and Jinshi, hinting at even greater romantic developments ahead.

Originally airing as a TV anime last autumn, “The Apothecary Diaries” resumed with additional episodes at the beginning of this year. However, it was the latter half of the series that truly captured viewers’ attention due to several significant events involving characters Maomao and Jinshi. This is because many of the early developments were leading up to these moments, providing a satisfying resolution. With the second season picking up from where things left off, we can expect less time spent on initial setup.
