The Apothecary Diaries Announces Surprising Hiatus For Worrying Reasons

The popular series “The Apothecary Diaries” has soared to one of the top anime adaptations today, thanks in part to its deeply resonating characters and captivating mystery narrative. As the anime continues into its second season, the light novel and manga versions centered around Maomao and Jinshi continue their journey. However, artist Nekokurage has some unfortunate news for fans who have been following the manga since its debut in 2017. Due to health concerns, the printed story will be temporarily halted; however, rest assured that “The Apothecary Diaries” won’t be away from Monthly Big Gangan for an extended period of time.

In a recent social media update, Nekokurage announced that the comic series “The Apothecary Diaries” will temporarily pause due to a bout with strep throat and whooping cough. The upcoming issue of Big Gangan magazine, slated for release tomorrow, has been postponed because of his poor health during the writing phase, contracted by both illnesses. He expresses regret but encourages everyone to stay cautious as these diseases seem to be circulating. Fortunately, Square Enix, the publisher of Monthly Big Gangan, has provided an estimated return date for the manga’s continuation.
