Kusuriya no Hitorigoto / The Apothecary Diaries / Maomao's Murmurs

Yeah. Like, even Jinshi knew about her. Where was she when people were being poisoned and babies kept dying?

It was funny how straight forward the blonde was. "Thought we'd show our faces in case you want to bang us. btw where's your brother?"

Granny got some nice sakuga during her dance.

The only thing that stretches disbelief is that they objectively quantify Jinshi as apparently the most attractive being on earth. There's a limit to how detailed and refined a character design can be in an anime, not accounting for taste, so what we get is a... pretty dude that has slightly more feminine facial features than the other men in the show? Its easy enough to hand wave as it is a minor plot point and the story isn't reliant on that being true to life for the viewers, but it is a little jarring when Maomao says things like 'nation toppling' about a simple dance in the moonlight.

The recovery clinic and its surrounding explanations were an interesting bit. Perhaps the presiding non-doctor there might have some use for under the counter meds and Maomao may be getting blackmailed?

It's not the dance per se as it is about a crossdressed Jinshi. He's so beautiful that kings will go to war just to have him, is what we're told.

I can believe it, and it's in line with what we've been told to date thus far.

Poor Jinshi. Maomao still thinks he lost his doodle.
