Apothecary Diaries Vol 16
-
Hi, is there any news on the streaming of Apothecary Diaries Volume 16? I can't find anything on the forums, but it's been out in Japanese since May so I was wondering if if could be a licensing delay?
Thanks for any info you can share! -

@Cataku yeah, its been a month, I’m with withdrawal already, I’d love to have some update
-
@LilianCLM The last "caught up" volume in a different series from the same publisher as Apothecary Diaries in Japan took over 1 year from its release before prepubs began on JNC. I'm not expecting v16 to start up until next year personally (could be earlier, could be later, just my personal minimum).

@GeorgeMTO Since gaps are a semi-regular thing with the Apothecary translations, I went back to check. The biggest gap in pre-pubs Apothecary Diaries has had was between the last part of Volume 6 (9th September 2022) to the start of Volume 7 (23rd December 2022). Roughly 3 and a half months.
So I'm gonna put my guess in late November!
-
@kuali there have been gaps, but none of them were caused by being caught up. That's often been the biggest source of delay in other series, so I don't think extrapolating from that gap was the cause.

@LurkingMcLurk this is bit of a pointless reply, it explains absolutely nothing. I've seen it posted under any question where the members are trying to get some actual info :(
-
@LilianCLM same! It's the only series I signed up to premium for only to be left hanging, is there anyone that even provides updates at all T_T
-
@Cataku did you actually read the link? It explains that there is no timeline, and so there's no updates to give. It comes when it's ready, and they don't know it'll be ready until it is ready.

@Cataku
It explains that:Licensing can vary wildly in how long it takes, so we have no hard estimates on when the next volume will start streaming, sorry!
Also, I see you only have a premium membership for this series in which case I would recommend cancelling it and just buying the volumes individually. If you pre-order a volume from J-Novel Club directly you'll still get access to the pre-pubs even without a (premium) membership.

@Cataku yeah, me too. After one of the replies telling that the last update took 3ish month I canceled mine and will only subscribe again when the ué release begins again :/
