"The Apothecary Diaries" Light Novel Exhibition Tie-in Bookstore Fair Begins May 22! Novelty Items Include Limited-Edition Paper-Cutout-Style Cards of Maomao and Jinshi

A bookstore fair tied in with "The Apothecary Diaries Light Novel Exhibition: Poisons, Medicines, Science, and Mystery" will be held starting May 22.
"The Apothecary Diaries" light novel is a mystery entertainment work by Hyuganatsu. Set in the inner palace of a certain Chinese-style empire, it depicts Maomao, an apothecary girl who was kidnapped and sold as a servant, as she solves various incidents and troubles within the inner palace using her inherent pharmaceutical knowledge and deep insight. Her cleverness catches the eye of Jinshi, a beautiful eunuch, and this mega-hit work eventually sees her selected as a poison tester directly serving a high-ranking consort.
