Fans of The Apothecary Diaries can mark their calendars for January 10, 2025, when the second season of the popular anime premieres. The announcement came during the anime’s first-anniversary livestream on TOHO’s official YouTube channel, accompanied by a new teaser and key visuals.
Season 2 will feature a continuous two-cour broadcast, meaning the series will air for approximately six months without interruption. Crunchyroll has confirmed it will stream the new season, ensuring international fans can follow the story as it unfolds.
The anime, based on the light novels by Natsu Hyuuga and Touko Shino, follows the adventures of Maomao, a former apothecary sold into the emperor’s palace as a servant. Her sharp intellect and medical skills quickly earn the attention of Jinshi, a charming palace official, leading her to solve mysterious illnesses and rise within the imperial court.
Directed by Norihiko Naganuma (The Ancient Magus’ Bride), who also serves as the series composer, and assisted by Akinori Fudesaka (Tsuredure Children), the new season is produced by TOHO animation STUDIO and OLM.

The ongoing Print Biennale Exhibition at Lalit Kala Akademi, Chennai, unfolds as a journey far beyond India’s borders, tracing artistic lineages shaped by revolution and resistance across Latin America and nNorthern Africa. Presented as a collateral event of the Third Print Biennale of India, the exhibition features a selection from the Boti Llanes family collection, initiated by Dr Llilian Llanes, recipient of Cuba’s National Award for Cultural Research, and curated in India by her daughter, Liliam Mariana Boti Llanes. Bringing together the works of 48 printmaking artists from regions including Mexico, Cuba, Argentina, Brazil, and Chile, the exhibition is rooted in the socio-political upheavals of the 1980s and 1990s. It shows printmaking as both a political and creative tool, with works that weave stories across countries and continents.
