by New merchandise featuring Nekoneko and Jinji playing with a rabbit from the TV anime “The Apothecary Diaries” has been released. To coincide with the release, pop-up stores will be opening at five “Hands” locations nationwide starting September 24th.
“The Apothecary Diaries,” currently published by Natsu Hinata in “Hero Bunko,” is a harem mystery-solving entertainment series in which Nekoneko, a young poison taster, solves complex cases while being forced to do so by the eunuch Jinji. Two comic book adaptations are currently being published in the monthly magazines “Big Gangan” and “Monthly Sunday GX.”
The first season of the anime, comprising 24 episodes, premiered in October 2023. The mystery-infused story won a special award at the “TVer Awards 2023,” and it garnered attention. The second season will air over two consecutive seasons starting in January 2025, and a sequel has also been announced. Nekoneko and Jinji are playing with a rabbit under the autumn moon! New merchandise featuring original illustrations features the pair dressed in autumn attire and holding mooncakes.
In addition to the classic “acrylic stands” and “acrylic key chains,” this collection also includes “Autumn Canned Cookies,” “Autumn Waffles,” and “Autumn Confetti Candy.” Pair them with the “Autumn Teacup Set” featuring mini characters, and you’ll be spending the long autumn nights with Nekoneko and her friends. Other items include “Autumn Clear Files,” “Autumn Embroidered Drawstring Bags,” and “Autumn Tote Bags,” perfect for everyday use. Each item will be available at the “Hands Pop-Up Store” (Shinjuku, Nagoya, Hakata, Minamoa Hiroshima, and Shinsaibashi) at five stores nationwide. Orders will also be accepted on the Muzzle online shop from 12:00 PM on October 1st to 11:59 PM on November 3rd (products will ship in mid-January 2026).
