If you were to ask me what exactly makes The Apothecary Diaries tick, I'd tell you simply Maomao's brilliance as a main character. But that brilliance isn't just an amazing performance from Aoi Yuuki, it's also incredibly strong writing that is built off the back of Maomao's relationship to this setting and specifically the systems of power that lock it in place. In this video, which is purely a cry for you to watch what is jockeying with Frieren for anime of the season, we attempt to explore just that.
