In January 2025, the second installment of Apothecary Diaries was launched, and thus far, viewers have given all episodes a warm reception. Lately, the official platform for Apothecary Diaries unveiled two fresh illustrations – one each for Maomao and Jinshi. These images depict our main characters donning extravagant attire.

The Apothecary Diaries Season Two Cast & Staff

In the second series of The Apothecary Diaries, they’ve kept the same voice actors as in the first one, a decision that makes sense given their impressive acting skills.

  • Aoi Yuki as Maomao
  • Takeo Otsuka as Jinshi
  • Katsuyuki Konishi as Gaoshun
  • Atsumi Tanezaki as Gyokuyou
  • Yui Ishikawa as Lihua
  • Kino Hina as Rikuson
  • Ami Koshimizu as Pairin

As an observer, I’m delighted to note that this fresh season of the captivating anime is under the skilled direction of Akinori Fudesaka, previously a trusted assistant director to Norihiro Naganuma. The intricate character designs are the work of Yukiko Nakatani. An impressive trio, Satoru Kōsaki, Alisa Okehazama, and Kevin Penkin, have collaborated to create the enchanting score for this anime series. Lilas Ikuta’s Hyakkaryōran serves as the ending theme for season two, while Dai Hirai’s Shiawase no Recipe kicks off the playlist.

In the second season of The Apothecary Diaries, they wisely stick to what worked so well in the first – the stunning visuals, peaceful themes, and perfect tempo that won hearts initially. Changing things can often lead to trouble, but in this case, staying the course has kept it just as popular.

The Apothecary Diaries Is Once Again A Genuine Contender For The Best Anime

The latest installment of Apothecary Diaries has been exceptionally popular and well-liked among viewers. With its current trajectory, it’s highly likely that this anime series will rank as one of the top-rated shows of 2025. There’s plenty of material to work with, so pacing issues shouldn’t be a concern for the studio.

In the second season of “The Apothecary Diaries,” there will be a total of 24 episodes. These episodes will be broadcasted over the course of two back-to-back seasons. When the first half of the season comes to an end, the new opening and closing theme songs will be unveiled.

As I looked back on last year, it was clear that the debut of Apothecary Diaries had a significant impact. In truth, this captivating light novel series topped the charts as the best-seller of 2024. With the upcoming season, I can only imagine the influx of new fans and the boost in sales it will bring.
