Jinshi & Maomao, Heart-Pounding "Neck-Bite Scene" Leaves Fans Exclaiming "Oh My!" and "Intense Rom-Com!" in the Anime "The Apothecary Diaries" Season 2 Finale

In Episode 48 of the anime "The Apothecary Diaries," which has been airing sequentially since July 4th, Jinshi (voiced by Takeo Otsuka) bites Maomao's (voiced by Aoi Yuki) neck, stirring up reactions online with comments like "Oh my!" and "So heartwarming!"

The episode titled "The Beginning", which is the final episode of the second season, shows some time has passed since the suppression of the Shi clan, and Maomao and the others welcome the New Year. Jinshi visits Maomao to fulfill a promise he made to let her hear the end of his story. However, what Jinshi wanted to reveal was already known to Maomao—that he is the Emperor's brother. In response, Maomao suggests, "Then instead, tell me something else." Jinshi then bites her neck and brings his lips close enough for a kiss.
