Despite being a poison addict, the intoxicated expression of "The Apothecary Diaries'" poison taster, Maomao, is too sexy

The entranced expression of Maomao (CV: Aoi Yuki) as she puts soup to her mouth, followed by the shocking line "This is poison" - even those who haven't watched the anime "The Apothecary Diaries" would probably recognize this scene.

Originally working as an apothecary in the red-light district, Maomao has an unusual obsession with poison and medicine. Utilizing her extensive knowledge, she currently serves as a poison taster in the palace.

Such charm of Maomao is condensed in a memorable scene, which was finally portrayed in the 6th episode of the anime. In a tense atmosphere, as the emperor and his imperial concubines are about to eat, Maomao calmly tasted the dishes.

As she sipped the soup, her eyes moistened, and she seductively licked her lips. The officer, Lihaku (CV: Kenji Akabane), was astounded, exclaiming "How delicious could it be!?" But the next moment, a shocking truth was revealed. Maomao announced, "This is poison."
