It’s a big day of celebration for fans of The Apothecary Diaries! Not only was it confirmed that Season 2 is coming to Crunchyroll in 2025, but the anime’s official X (formerly Twitter) account also unveiled a stunning new visual to commemorate Tanabata, which gets its roots from the Chinese Qixi Festival.

Based on the light novels by Natsu Hyuuga and Touko Shino, The Apothecary Diaries is directed by Norihiko Naganuma (The Ancient Magus’ Bride), who also serves as series composer, and assistant-directed by Akinori Fudesaka (Tsuredure Children) at TOHO animation STUDIO and OLM.
Crunchyroll streams the historical drama anime and describes the story:
Maomao lived a peaceful life with her apothecary father. Until one day, she’s sold as a lowly servant to the emperor’s palace. But she wasn’t meant for a compliant life among royalty. So when imperial heirs fall ill, she decides to step in and find a cure! This catches the eye of Jinshi, a handsome palace official who promotes her. Now, she’s making a name for herself solving medical mysteries!
