Who else are enjoying The Apothecary Diaries season 2 at the moment? I love this anime series so much! We are up to episode 6 of season 2 at the moment and wow, this episode is just epic! Reading the light novel is one thing, but seeing how they turn it into anime action is up another level… Next week we will finally see the episode focusing on the emperor, since we’ve seen very little of him so far.
