[Photos/Images] Don't think you'll get away with it just because you're handsome! The perversion of Mr. Ren in "Apothecary Diaries" stands out in his honey play 1st

In the anime "The Apothecary Diaries", there was an episode where the eunuch Jinshi (CV: Otsuka Takeo), a stunningly handsome man, was teasing Maoｍao (CV: Yuuki Aoi) and his "unusually prominent perverted side" became a hot topic. The scene where Jinshi tries to make Maoｍao lick his honey-covered finger, and Maoｍao resists with all her might, is guaranteed to make you laugh.

"The Apothecary Diaries" is an anime based on the light novel of the same name by Hyuganatsu. It has also been serialized in two monthly magazines, with the total number of copies in print exceeding 38 million. The TV anime aired for two consecutive seasons beginning in October 2023, and the detective dramas led by Maoｍao, who was appointed as a "food taster" in the inner palace, and the comedic interactions between Maoｍao and the handsome eunuch Jinshi, became very popular and a major topic of conversation. The second season began airing in January 2025.

Jinshi, a eunuch with strong power in the inner palace, is also a possessor of beauty that captivates both men and women. While he values Maoｍao's abilities as a pharmacist, promoting her to the position of maid, he teases her in various ways, perhaps finding it amusing that she shows little interest in his appearance.

When Jinshi praised Maomao for her report, calling it "acceptable," he suddenly had the thought, "Good children deserve a reward," and approached her with a jar of honey. Feeling a sense of foreboding, Maomao tried to back away, saying, "I'll pass." However, Jinshi moved closer and attempted to scoop up some honey with his finger to make her taste it. As Jinshi closed in with a smile, Maomao thought, "He thinks he can get away with anything because he has a handsome face!" and "Oh right, he is that kind of pervert," feeling utterly creeped out.

With a sparkling smile, Jinshi engaged in outrageous behavior, leaving viewers in stitches with comments like "Jinshi-sama~! Oh, come on!" and "His eccentricity stood out more than ever," and "Jinshi-sama is playing too much with Maomao." Even though Maomao was genuinely distressed, reactions poured in with remarks like "Goosebumps lol" and "Maomao must be breaking out in hives lol."
