What is The Apothecary Diaries?

The Apothecary Diaries is a highly popular anime based on a light novel series written by Natsu Hyuuga. It has sold over 40 million copies in Japan and received an anime adaptation last year.

The story follows Maomao, a young apothecary girl with a deep obsession with poisons and medicine, who gets caught up in palace intrigues and uses her skills to solve mysteries.

One incident catches the attention of the handsome eunuch Jinshi from the rear palace, who appoints her as a food taster.

Due to her unique status, boundless curiosity, thirst for knowledge, and a touch of justice, Maomao is drawn into various incidents and uses her intellect to solve them.

With its captivating characters, authentic mystery-solving, and emotionally resonant human relationships, the series has gained strong cross-generational support and popularity.

Original Food and Merchandise Coming Too

This beloved series will soon bring its world to life at Universal Studios Japan through a brand-new, “ultra-realistic” attraction.

Besides the main facility, USJ will also offer original themed food and merchandise within the park. More detailed information about the event will be announced gradually, so fans, don’t miss this incredible opportunity!
