The Apothecary Diaries


Maomao works as a servant in the Rear Palace. She has kept her skills hidden to prevent money going to her kidnappers. But when she learns that two of the Emperor's wives children are sick, she tells them the cause in hopes that it will save them. Lihua's ladies in waiting ignore the message which results in her child's death, while Gyokuyou heeds Maomao's message and her child is saved. The servants are called to a room where they are met by a Eunuch named Jinshi who identifies that Maomao is the one who wrote the message. She is then given the position of one of Gyokuyou's ladies in waiting. However, this position change just allows her to get roped into more of the mysteries of the inner palace. Will she be able to solve them all and help those relying on her?

The Apothecary Diaries was absolutely amazing. It is probably the best anime I've seen in awhile. I did read the first few chapters of the manga prior to the anime coming out, so I knew the beginning was good. But, I was happy to find out that every single episode was interesting. There are two bath scenes, but besides that the anime is clean. If you are looking for a good mystery anime I would definitely suggest this one.
