The Apothecary Diaries Audio Drama Saved the Anime From Becoming a Major Disaster Because of Maomao

The Apothecary Diaries has won over the hearts of its audience not because of over-the-top action scenes or muscle-bulging characters but because of its unique protagonists and intrinsic plot. Of course, the protagonist, Maomao, has to be given foremost credit in this regard.
Despite being dropped in the middle of the Emperor’s consorts, Maomao isn’t interested in the inner palace’s glamour. What interests her are the weird and often poisonous herbs that she uses to create various medicines.

Norihiro Naganuma is the director of season 1 of The Apothecary Diaries. He is also the director of Ancient Magnus’ Bride, Yowamushi Pedal movie, and more. In an interview, Naganuma had a discussion about Maomao since she is a morally upstanding character but with nuance and depth which makes her compelling to watch.
