by The synopsis and preview of episode 42 (episode 18 of season 2) of the TV anime The Apothecary Diaries, which will air on Friday, January 10, 2025, have been released.
Set in the harem, the poison taster girl Maomao solves various complex cases at the command of the eunuch Jinshi. The popular harem mystery-solving entertainment series “The Apothecary Diaries” (author: Hinata Natsu, illustrations: Shino Touko (Hero Bunko/Imagica Infos)) has sold over 33 million copies.
The TV anime will begin airing in October 2023 and has consistently ranked highly in the viewing rankings on various distribution platforms. The second season will start airing on Friday, January 10, 2025. The second season also dominates the rankings on various distribution sites, again gaining popularity.
Episode 42 (episode 18 of season 2) will be broadcast on Nippon Television’s “FRIDAY ANIME NIGHT” from 23:00 on Friday, May 9, 2025, and will be broadcast and distributed sequentially. Episode 42 “Hozuki” Ten days have passed without knowing where Nekoneko is. Princess Gyokuba goes into labor, and Ramon is left to look after her.
Meanwhile, Jinshi hears that the eunuch disappeared simultaneously as Nekoneko prayed in the tomb to the north. It is the tomb of those mistreated by the previous emperor and died in the harem. When he searches for clues to Nekoneko, he finds a female attendant in front of the tomb. Jinshi senses the same scent of alcohol that Nekoneko had from her and tries to get more information from her.
In addition, it has been decided that Toyonaga Toshiyuki will play Rahan, Rakan’s nephew and adopted son, who appears in episode 42. Rahan, who appeared in the opening video for the second season earlier and was a hot topic on social media among fans about how he would be portrayed in the anime and who would play him, will finally appear in the main story.
What will Rahan, an eccentric man who loves numbers, say when he appears before Jinshi, who is searching for Nekoneko’s whereabouts? Keep an eye on Rahan, who looks forward to his future activities. Toyonaga has also been confirmed to appear in the Abema special to be broadcast on Friday, May 16.
This special will feature Otsuka Takeo as Jinshi, Konishi Katsuyuki as Gao Shun, Tachibana Ryumaru as Ma Sen, and Toyonaga Toshiyuki as Rahan. The special will feature the members who remained at the palace and will be the Pharmacist’s first ever men’s club special, entitled “ABEMA Special: Palace Remainers Men’s Club SP.” I look forward to it airing on the Abema Live Channel from 11 pm on Friday, May 16!
