Yay… They are back~ Our precious MaoMao and her handsome bug Jinshi are back to solve more mysteries in the palace and there will be more new supporting characters being introduced. Yes, season 2 of The Apothecary Diaries premiered on January 10, 2025 with another 24 episodes released weekly starting with episode 25 (not the usual numbering of episode 1, season 2). The first season was the most streamed anime in Japan last year according to Japan’s streaming platform, U-Next. Since season 1 covered the stories in Volumes 1 and 2 of the light novel by Hyūga Natsu 日向夏, season 2 will cover Volumes 3 and 4 if I assume correctly… The light novel is now up to Volume 15 with the latest volume published in 2024, so hopefully we can look forwards to many more seasons to come…
