To commemorate the 11th anniversary of the publication of The Apothecary Diaries  by Hero Bunko, the "The Apothecary Diaries Original Novel Exhibition" will be held at Tokyo Skytree Town Solamachi (R) from Friday, December 5, 2025, to Thursday, December 25, 2025.

The light novel series The Apothecary Diaries (published by Hero Bunko / Imagica Infos) is currently a massive hit, with volumes 1 through 16 available for purchase.

This work pioneered the current "Inner Palace Boom" and has garnered significant support for its intricate storyline, which follows a young taster who solves various difficult mysteries. The broadcast of the third season of the TV anime and a theatrical movie release have also been confirmed for 2026. Furthermore, the comic adaptation is being released by two different publishers: Shogakukan and Square Enix.

The exhibition plans to offer a special display that deeply delves into the world of the novel, woven together by Hyuganatsu's story and Touko Shino's illustrations. The content is designed to make the world of The Apothecary Diaries, filled with poison, medicine, science, and mystery, even more enjoyable.

The key visual for the exhibition was unveiled on November 18th on the official exhibition website and official X (formerly Twitter) account. This visual features an original illustration of Maomao and Jinshi drawn by Touko Shino exclusively for this event.
