The Apothecary Diaries 薬屋のひとりごと (Kusuriya no Hitorigoto) is a 24-episode (?) Japanese anime series that premiered on the early hours of October 22, 2023 in Japan with the first 3 episodes dropped at the same time. It is based on the Japanese novel series of the same name written by Hyūga Natsu 日向夏.
I’ve watched the first few episodes and they are quite enjoyable to watch. Since the novel series is aimed at young adults, the plots are not complicated and the mysteries are quite straight forward basically dealing with poisons since the protagonist is a young medicine “apprentice” who likes to experiment. That said, the stories do sort of remind me of Agatha Christie’s novels, LOL…
