It’s incredibly important to me that the anime decided to include this scene that wasn’t in the manga. In the manga, Maomao does pass out in Jinshi’s lap after saving him from what was obviously an assassination attempt.
HOWEVER, the manga cuts off at this point, keeping strictly in Maomao’s perspective, and cuts straight to when she regains consciousness in bed after being treated for her injuries. The manga doesn’t show how she got back. They SAY how, and she briefly mentions, “wow that must have been embarrassing; he carried me back,” but we don’t SEE it. We don’t get to feel the true impact of what that means. But the anime DID show us, and holy shit.
They SHOW us how taboo this is. They show Jinshi carrying her out of the temple, after a public attempt on his life.
They show us the shock and horror on Lakan’s face as Jinshi silently walks past him. Horror at the state his daughter is in, horror at another man—a man with a status he could never dare to question—staking such a public claim over his child, horror at the fact that he could never have this level of closeness with her (as Maomao would never allow it).
Everyone hides their gazes, as is their custom when someone of his rank passes by, but the air is different this time. Jinshi is furious, he’s terrified, and he could not give a single shit about how inappropriate it looks to these palace officials.
The shot that slowly follows her trail of blood—even though it’s a small detail—that in particular leaves such a intense impression of how poignant this is for him.
Maomao talked about this scene in the manga like it was nothing to her. She did what she set out to do: she saved the person who was targeted by the attack. She didn’t even know the target would be someone she knew. But she has no idea that this happened afterwards as a result of her bravery. To her, it likely wasn’t even an act of bravery at all. She acted on impulse; she did what she knew was the right thing to do.
The anime didn’t need to include this, because the manga didn’t show it. But damn, I’m so glad they did.

i just started apothecary diaries! im loving it so far, it's kinda reminding me of shirayukihime. what's your fav part of the series/manga? ☺️
Hey, thanks so much for the ask! Personally, my favorite parts of the series have to be Maomao (obviously!!) and the way her relationship develops with Jinshi. I love that Maomao is brilliant but also imperfect. She’s allowed to be a bit selfish, especially in regard to her love of medicine. Any time she gets the opportunity to focus on her interests, she takes it, even if it’s done out of an interest in the medicinal aspect of it and not necessarily because it helps other people, and I honestly love that about her! She’s cunning, brave, but also has no sense of self-preservation at times, and you love her for it anyway.
Also, whenever she’s geeking out about the strange things she loves that nobody else seems to understand, it warms my heart. Whenever she does that little “dance” (you know the one), I’m reminded of certain personal experiences of my own that endears me to her further (don’t feel like elaborating or over-explaining. I’ll just say I’m neurodivergent and leave it at that). She’s blunt, and likes more than anything to be left alone, but Jinshi always has some use for her, whether she likes it or not. He can’t help but to find her captivating, and I mean, why wouldn’t he?
Some very notable people find her to be a valuable asset and a reliable friend, but her relationship with Jinshi feels special. She’s the only one he can act his age around. He’s in a situation where he forced to be professional, becoming, and proper at all times, and yet when she’s involved, that childish side of him seems to poke out, and I think it’s sweet. He loves the parts of her that others judge or find unseemly—he loves her for her!
Overall, I think that the central elements that make the series compelling are Maomao (obviously), her relationship to Jinshi, and the overall world-building. You can tell that lot of thought was put behind the story and its setting and everything is purposeful. It’s my favorite manga I’ve read in awhile, which is saying something.

Top 5 Anime OP songs from the 1990s?
Hey, thank you so much for the ask! Sorry to be responding so late. I went to bed after this was sent two nights ago and yesterday was a very long work day.
Hmm, it's hard for me to answer a question like this. I've never been very good at ranking things in particular because I overthink everything. I want to go, "My top 5 in terms of scope and influence? Personal top 5?” <-- this would be the obvious answer.
And yet it makes me wonder if I'm ranking OPs because of the show it comes from, or because the OP is great on its own? I'm sure you can tell I'm a chronic overthinker, and for that, I apologize. I tend to rate favs in no particular order tbh.
I hope you are able to accept "5 OPs from the 90s I really, really enjoy and appreciate"
Nurse Angel Ririka SOS- Koi wa Suru Tabi ni Kizutsuki Yasuku
youtube
This is one of those oft forgotten series in the glut of "magical girl warrior" shows released in the 90s after the booming success of Sailor Moon, and it's quite a shame. The OP features a catchy techno beat in the background, and those who know the lyrics often point out how they are surprisingly somber for a song with an upbeat tone and for such an innocent-looking magical girl show. Obviously, this would hint at some events that take place in-show. (No spoilers--watch for yourself if you want! I recommend it if these kind of shows are your jam!)
2. Boys Over Flowers-- Fuutsu No Nichiyoubi Ni
youtube
Ah, the ever controversial Boys Over Flowers...it's a guilty pleasure for sure. In spite of the excessive drama and red flags, you can't tell me this OP doesn't go hard. I love the musical theater inspiration in the character's dances and will always enjoy Tsukushi being lifted into the air by two greasy fuckboys followed by the dramatic drop of her shoe-- gets me hyped for every episode. Sometimes it's fun to indulge in shows like this. The opening only makes it more enticing.
3. Blue Seed-- Carnival Babel:

MYSTERIOUS TOKYO
TAKE IT EASY DANGEROUS NIGHT

That it all. Thank you.
4. Wedding Peach-- Wedding Wars
I had to download this one and upload the video myself because the one upload I found on youtube was a bit strange.
I mean, what did any of you expect? This blog's namesake is a reference to Momoko's magical compact from Wedding Peach. Everything about Wedding Wars is perfect. It perfectly underscores the shift in the second half of the show. Everything would start to become more serious, the stakes were higher, and now that you're finally attached to the characters, get ready for that epic second half.
5. Kodocha-- Ultra Relax
youtube
Kodocha remains a memorable part of my childhood. The characters are zany and lovable. This theme perfectly embodies that zany nature for me. I can not think of a more fitting song for such a show.
#asks#90s anime#taoofshigeru#It's no surprise that 4 of 5 of these are shoujo and 2 of 5 are magical girl related#thanks so much for the ask once again#i had fun answering this
