  • This review is about the add to your collection: Vol. 01

    Having watched the anime series that I loved, I decided to continue the story with the manga from where it left off.

    The story is set during the medieval period in China. As the title suggests, it tells the stories of a pharmacist, who in this case is a girl named Mao Mao, who found herself under strange circumstances in the emperor's palace and continued her life there, discovering a new world, healing with her pharmaceutical knowledge, and solving many mysteries for important figures.

    The story has a lot of humor and can teach you a lot about those years, resulting in keeping your interest. In short, it falls into the slice of life category.

    The illustration is good; for those who watched the anime series, it is extremely similar. I mention this because we have cases like Chainsaw Man or JJK where the illustration is excessively inferior to that of the anime series.

    To read it, you need quite a good knowledge of English because each page has several bubbles and difficult words, especially in the fields of politics and pharmacy.

    Each book is around 200 pages; the books are slightly smaller in size compared to manga from Viz Studio.

    As a reader mainly of battle-based anime, The Apothecary Diaries managed to capture my interest; it rarely happens, but I place it in the same category as Spice and Wolf, which has been well-known for a long time.
