While the rest of the anime industry is up to their eyeballs in AnimeJapan 2025 events, Maomao and Lihaku are waist-deep among a Nanohana field in the latest The Apothecary Diaries monthly seasonal visual, courtesy of the anime’s official X (formerly Twitter) account.
The Apothecary Diaries Nanohana Seasonal Visual
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!
