We're back baby! Maomao was a no brainer once I saw the prompt 'reckless'. Like who could be more reckless than her?

And of course had to draw her look from that scene with the seaweed. Among my top favourite funny scenes with her & Jinshi. #Inktober #kusuriyanohitorigoto #theapothecarydiaries

Oh, here's the scene I mentioned. Gaoshun holding Chibi Maomao's arms, Jinshi's panicked reaction and 'hake!' followed by Aoi Yuki going all out with Maomao's gurgly puking sounds. Just perfect comedy material. And ofc him picking her up like a cat by the scruff of her neck in the end. 🤭 #Kusuriyanohitorigoto #TheApothecaryDiaries

@kotarokashima you should watch this clip and then you should watch the show.

@viz you already know about kusuriya, I'm guessing. If not, get on it!

@Bayta @kotarokashima I'm 14 volumes in 😔

@viz @kotarokashima 🙌 I don't remember which volume I'm on because at one point I got too impatient for more JinMao content that I started skimming. Should go back and read properly from vol 5 or 6.

Recommend watching the anime too because the VAs are phenomenal and they did a great job with the adaptation overall. Even made up for some mistranslations and ambiguity in the LN.

@Bayta you should catch up, a lot of stuff has happened since volume 6 :)

When one day I get a crunchy roll acct, I will watch it with my mom in Tamil lol. But if the VAs are killing it, I have to watch it in Japanese too hmmmMmmMm

@viz Oh, I know most of what happens. Like I said, I've been skimming ahead, and you get to know major plot points when doing that. Just haven't read properly.

Haha, would be funny to watch in Tamil. But I also don't want to tarnish my view of the show. Even the English dub that others have been praising rubs me the wrong way. Feels like a desecration after the perfection of the Japanese voice acting.

Anyway, just shared the blog post where I went on & on about this, so will stop here.

@Bayta faiirrr. was also waiting for the accompanying blog post so i will go read that :)
@viz omg thank you so much for that! Means a lot to have someone who actually reads. 😭
