The Apothecary Diarieshas quickly grown to become one of the most famous romance mystery drama anime in the community. Fans are loving it and want to see more, especially the dynamic between Jinshi and Maomao. Their romance is very push-and-pull with Jinshi more open with his affections and Maomao in denial.

It’s a true slow-burn romance that blends perfectly with the mysteries surrounding the main plot ofThe Apothecary Diaries. So it’s no wonder fans were hopeful that their romantic plot would speed up when this promo image for Season 2 came out.

Jinshi and Maomao’s journey will be slow but worth it all in the end. The beauty ofThe Apothecary Diariesis how natural their progression is amongst all the events happening. The chemistry between them is also electric but their individual personalities are also well-written and interesting. The promo image by OLM teasing the second season shows the two on a walk with Jinshi cutely placing a leaf over her head. This madeThe Apothecary Diariesfans scream in hope but will Season 2 feature any romantic moments?

Of course, like in most romance anime, the two eventually will get together after several moments of romantic tension.The Apothecary Diariesalso isn’t a stranger to including someincredibly suggestive scenesin the light novels and the manga, especially when it comes to Jinshi trying to seduce Maomao with his looks. He’s undeniably a handsome man that even Maomao can’t resist internally but she does an amazing job of hiding it. However, this makes him even more interested in her and they end up having an amazing friendship too.

The reason why the couple work so well too is that they’re able to cooperate so well together. They know each other well enough now to read one another. In short, they just complement each other and fans love to see them. However, the reason why it’s also a slow-burn romance is how it would be received in the real-world dynamics ofThe Apothecary Diaries.

Season 2 Will Still Hold Back Their Romance

A commoner and the Prince having a possible romance wouldn’t be acceptable which is why she pushed her feelings down. However, this all flipped whenher relation to Lakanwas revealed. Still, the two cannot be publicly together with everything going on. Thus, don’t expect too much romance in the second season, especially when the plot will focus on Jinshi’s development more than Maomao herself.

The story in the second season will expand the universe even further with smaller mysteries tying into the larger plot. The couple, Jinshi and Maomao, will continue to learn and grow together so there isn’t exactly zero romance or development between the two. The next season ofThe Apothecary Diariesis set to release in January 2025.

The Apothecary Diariesis available on Crunchyroll.
