The Apothecary Diaries 01 (Light Novel)

After watching the anime, there was no other choice than reading the manga of this masterpiece. Yea, what should i say, i also needed the light novel and here i am, waiting for the next volume! This series is simply great. Mystery, slow burn romance (and i mean slow, for real), medicin, imperial intrigues and historical stories, all in one series. With Maomao, there is a strong female main character and then there is also Jinshi, a guy which makes her life not easy. It is just comedy how he teases her and i am looking forward to reading the next book!

I love this entire series so much! I started out watching the anime and was so hooked I just had to start reading the light novels because I couldn't wait to find out what happens next. Maomao is one of the best protagonists ever; the way she so easily wraps everybody around her finger without even realizing it is hilarious, and the plot constantly keeps you on the edge of your seat. I also really love how seemingly small and insignificant details often come back later and suddenly change everything. I'm only on volume 6 right now so I'm very excited what the rest of the story has in store for us!

I LOVE IT! It's giving mystery, it's giving k-drama like pining, it's giving dense feministic ICON. And it has me on a chokehold. Binge reading through this whole series and living for every moment of it

If you can't wait for the next season, there are enough Light Novels! They are easy and good written and I'm just happy that I can read more about Maomao and Jinshi!
