Why Didn’t She Say Anything at First… Maomao’s Shocking Revelation to Jinshi After He Tasted the Nectar in “The Apothecary Diaries”

If you were to spend time with Maomao (Aoi Yūki), who has a passion for poisons, you’d feel like you’d never have enough lives… In the anime “The Apothecary Diaries,” viewers couldn’t help but want to comment on Maomao’s “shocking words” to Jinshi (Takeo Ōtsuka) after he casually tasted the flower nectar.

In episode 11, Jinshi imitates Maomao, who sips nectar from a Rhododendron flower, and tells her, “It’s sweet!”, then also puts the rhododendron in his mouth. At that moment, Maomao calmly says, “It’s poisonous, though.” Jinshi suddenly sputters with a loud “Pffft!” In response to the coughing Jinshi, Maomao coolly points out, “You won’t die, so it’ll be fine.”

With this almost comedic exchange, viewers burst out laughing, leaving comments like, “Did she just casually say it was poisonous? LOL Maomao drinks poison without a second thought LOL,” “Jinshi-sama copies her right away lol,” “You really shouldn’t imitate what Maomao puts in her mouth lolol,” and “Adorable Jinshi-sama~!”
