[Manga] The Apothecary Diaries - Maomao's Rear Palace Notebook of Mysteries
-
I would also love to see this one get an official english translation!
-
I would be very excited to read Maomao's story again by a different artist, even though I still prefer the other manga adaptation.
-
@JeweledPoisonousButterfly It‘s the same for me.

You know, everytime I look for information on this manga in the internet it seems like everyone has to bring up how the art in this version is the inferior one, but as an artist myself I feel like I have to disagree. It may not have the polish of the square enix version, but polish isn't everything. It's got a ton of charm and character and I keep coming back to admire how gorgeous the cover art for them are.
-
@blur0se I wouldn‘t say inferior, only that I prefer the art style of the other manga adaption more. That said, I really would like to read it too. This artist depicts the events of the light in novel sometimes in a completely different way than the other one. I‘m almost ready to say that I liked how this artists drew the scenes with Jinshi as the moon spirit more than how Nekokurage drew them.

@silvi haha that wasn't directed at you necessarily. I've been looking for raw scans of this all night and have seen a lot of comments. I just wanted to comment that there are some of us that actually do prefer this one!
-
@blur0se That's good, after all, everyone has their own taste (otherwise it would be boring).
-
@silvi absolutely!! I'm trying to pitch it here so I can get my hands on this i've gotte be it's number one defender!!
-
@blur0se Well, it has already 15 upvotes, plus the one from the creator of this post. I don‘t know the standards, but this seems already pretty much for a manga.
-
I love the other manga, but would also really like to read this one.
-
Jumping back onto this thread to say that this months chapter wrapped up light novel 4, which is likely where season 2 of the anime will be ending. Next months chapter should be starting light novel 5. Even more reason to want this manga translated officially!

I am really enjoying this version. It's like watching a movie again and noticing things you missed the first time around. The different perspective really compliments the Nekokourage version and fills in some holes.
I have been reading English fan scans, but I can't seem to find chapters 60 - 72 in any language. Does anyone know where I can find a complete digital version? It doesn't even have to be in English. I'll use a translator if I need to. I would even be willing to purchase a licensed digital copy, but it's a nightmare trying to navigate the official websites due to language barriers and payment options. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

@Torka Thank you very much for the info. Unfortunately, the Singapore English version only goes to chapter 18. The Bookwalker route would be fine, however, my browser extension appears to be having an issue translating the pages, and I don't seem to be able to download the images in order to translate them offline. Is this maybe just a limitation of the free demo version of the Bookwalker? I am using the Firefox extension of Torii Image Translator. Do I need to use a different browser for translator extension?
