The Apothecary's Monologue (or: A Pharmacist's Soliloquy)

日向夏

# Translation When she went out to gather medicinal herbs, she was caught in a hunt for concubines in the imperial harem. Maomao, who worked as a pharmacist in the flower district, thus found herself working as a maidservant in such an elegant place. Though dissatisfied with her current situation, she intends to behave quietly until her service contract ends—but her curiosity and knowledge won't allow it. After solving a certain incident, she catches the attention of the Emperor's favored concubine and eunuchs. Wanting to return to civilian life as soon as possible, Maomao sighs once more today, laundry basket in hand. The old snake's tail section is located in the Apothecary side stories. It has been published as books. With Ray Books as one volume, and currently up to fifteen volumes with Hero Bunko. The first volume of the paperback edition has been revised and expanded based on the first volume of the Ray Books edition. Manga serializations are currently running in both Big Gangan and Sunday GX.
