The envoys are here! Ah so that’s the blondes from the op! They are definitely otherworldly beauties and have an air of exoticism to them. The one, Ayla I think? Is definitely sus though. Just what is she up to..

They say they’re western, but their escorts appear to wear Turkish clothing.. Maomao also referenced Dianna who was a Roman goddess. I wonder if they’re supposed to be Byzantine/eastern Roman Empire.

Oh my goodness THE MOON FAIRY DANCE was so good!!! Jinshi truly is the prettiest boy lol. That would’ve definitely been enough to topple even the strongest of nations. Good thing they kept it under wraps and only the envoys saw the performance! Jinshi is such a spoiled baby for wanting Maomao to dry his hair after lol I love them.

Uh oh, so Maomao technically been illegally making medicine this whole time.. of course right as Jinshi warns her to not let anyone find out.. someone finds out 😂 next episode should be fun.

The Apothecary Diaries' Maomao and Jinshi 🍄 An anime I'm absolutely loving so far (and coincidentally with an adorable ship, poisons, and mysteries!)

[poorly-drawn-mdzs]

You're just not toxic enough.

[shuravf]

Maomao is back!

(and Jinshi too I guess)

[pinkikiwi]

Jinshi finally realizing his future wife is a cat. We are so back!!

[greatwyrmgold]

Considering how often Maomao walks directly into Jinshi, I'm pretty sure he moves directly in front of her whenever he catches her walking distracted.

It’s incredibly important to me that the anime decided to include this scene that wasn’t in the manga. In the manga, Maomao does pass out in Jinshi’s lap after saving him from what was obviously an assassination attempt.

HOWEVER, the manga cuts off at this point, keeping strictly in Maomao’s perspective, and cuts straight to when she regains consciousness in bed after being treated for her injuries. The manga doesn’t show how she got back. They SAY how, and she briefly mentions, “wow that must have been embarrassing; he carried me back,” but we don’t SEE it. We don’t get to feel the true impact of what that means. But the anime DID show us, and holy shit.

They SHOW us how taboo this is. They show Jinshi carrying her out of the temple, after a public attempt on his life.

They show us the shock and horror on Lakan’s face as Jinshi silently walks past him. Horror at the state his daughter is in, horror at another man—a man with a status he could never dare to question—staking such a public claim over his child, horror at the fact that he could never have this level of closeness with her (as Maomao would never allow it).

Everyone hides their gazes, as is their custom when someone of his rank passes by, but the air is different this time. Jinshi is furious, he’s terrified, and he could not give a single shit about how inappropriate it looks to these palace officials.

The shot that slowly follows her trail of blood—even though it’s a small detail—that in particular leaves such a intense impression of how poignant this is for him.

Maomao talked about this scene in the manga like it was nothing to her. She did what she set out to do: she saved the person who was targeted by the attack. She didn’t even know the target would be someone she knew. But she has no idea that this happened afterwards as a result of her bravery. To her, it likely wasn’t even an act of bravery at all. She acted on impulse; she did what she knew was the right thing to do.

The anime didn’t need to include this, because the manga didn’t show it. But damn, I’m so glad they did.
