What a great finale and the anime itself. I now understand why this and Frieren took over the season when it was airing, both FMC are so well written characters. I really love Jinshi and Maomao's relationship, and the princess carry scenario perfectly exemplifies what I like about them. She is bleeding and being carried by Jinshi, a position for which many would die, yet she has the guts to ask for the ox bezoar. The mischievous cat continues to tease.. I'm really glad we didn't missed out on this anime cause we had to drop this back then due to lack of views, and now we picked it up again, now we are caught up and ready for Season 2. I'm so hyped. 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Well Baba is actually Baba. Like she is Maomao's real maternal grandmother. So Fengxien's mom. This is what the author said on Twitter so it is not a spoiler. She may not be motherly as a former courtesan herself but she not coldhearted. Which is why she didn't cast out her sick daughter and hid her from the man she blames for her downfall. Baba is not evil but is protective in front of problematic customers.
Yes my wife and I thinks the same way. Base on what we have seen we think Baba is MaoMao real grandma of momo and Fengxian is her daughter. Another big secret or at least I think. That is why Baba didn’t get rid of her as is normally done.
I don’t know if it was in the manga or the anime but there is one scene where I think maomao wonders out loud why a money hungry owner of a brothel would go through so much effort to take care of a sick courtesan who doesn’t earn her any money but also cost her the reputation of the Verdigris house, there is no reason baba should have cared for her unless it was her own family
This is the episode that really sold me on the show and made it into one of my favs of all time. I love the family dynamic between Lakan, Maomao, and Fengxian, the way all of them interact with each other is so tragic yet beautiful. The way the show tugs at your heartstrings and messes with your mind to flip your perspective on a character on it's head. Peak finale, Peak reaction. 🗿🗿
This one of the best anime I have ever seen. From amazing main character, through interesting stories, side character and mysteries, to the whole Lakan arc. Near perfect show.
The Granny is a courtesan that stayed in the game so like long she became the manager. As for why she's freaking out and trying to keep Lakan from maomao's mom beyond the he fucked up thing. If it gets out they sold a diseased woman it would harm their reputation to the point they could go under.
Also consider that from Granny's view, Lakan knocked up Fengxian, then left her for 3 years and ruined her life. And despite Fengxian's condition, Granny is still taking care of her till now
It blew my mind the first time rewatching this seeing all the hints and clues to everybody being tied to each other. From first episode maomao saying her pinky never grew back right to always talking about the debt she owes the baba
Her adoptive father talked about Lakan in this episode. Maomao knows they are related. I have no idea if she knows they are great uncle and great niece, but he will always be her father.
Lakan is most definitely on the spectrum; it's called Aspergers syndrome. Same goes for Maomao, just not as strong - however, even she is not able to get all social clues she *should* get (as a person not on the spectrum should). Which makes her look just somewhat weird, instead of a weirdo like her father ;) I think the show does a really good job showing his mitigation of his "not-seeing-faces-as-a-whole", however i can only guess that people nowadays would do something similar to that. I only know one person who is definitely also on the spectrum, but i manifests in a different way.
I feel the same way about this as I did about Villainess Level 99. Any minute shown in the show without Maomao/Yumiella is a minute wasted. The main character carries the show.

Maomao knows that Luomen is her grand uncle. Since he keeps telling her about his personal life that commoners wouldn’t know about.

It is very sweet that Lakan sees Fengxian without her diseased body. She even lost her nose.

Can’t wait for your s2 reaction
3:58 that’s one way to think about it 🤣
There's apothecary diaries two now🎉
Great timing! Season 2 just aired
All three, Maomao, Lakan and Fengxian are on the spectrum.
That was the best way to end season 1
Her adoptive father talked about Lakan in this episode. Maomao knows they are related. I have no idea if she knows they are great uncle and great niece, but he will always be her father.
Lakan blamed himself so much that he painted himself as a villain, or at least he is an unreliable narrator.
If you liked this, i recommend you to watch Ascendance of a Bookworm.
One of the best
I honestly put this above frieren in anyway
Season 2 is out
There is a way bigger quest link together that I believe season 2 will not even make it to the conclusion. Maybe a Movie?
10:58 wey los dedos no crecen jajaja. I assume was the feet finger, but not sure.
Ya next season waiting for frog 🤫
Season already out so I can’t wait for the big frog scene
Now that the season ended now we have to wait many years for new season man…😔
Season 2 is already out the 1 ep
The first episode of Season 2 came out yesterday
50 seconds ago right as i go to yt homepage, lfg
Why are you hesitant to just give this anime a 10 out of 10 in your book?
Damn I'm early

OMG I'M SO EARLYYYY????
10/10 for me, it's hard to fault anything the story, writing, va's and the ost is top notch.
Nice l❤
