“The Apothecary’s Monologue” My heart throbbed at Miyoshi! Sweeter than candy♪ White Day visual and drama footage released
Welcome back to the I Am Anime website
To coincide with White Day on March 14th, a special video featuring Mikishi giving a Valentine’s Day gift and a mini-voice drama from the TV anime “The Apothecary’s Monologue.”
“The Apothecary’s Monologue” is a hugely popular harem mystery-solving entertainment series with over 40 million copies sold by author Hinata Natsu and illustrations by Shino Toko (Hero Bunko/Published by Imagicainfos). Nekoneko, the pharmacist’s daughter who has an abnormal obsession with poison and medicine, and Michi, a mysterious and handsome eunuch, take on the difficult incidents that arise at the Imperial Court.
The first season, which aired in October 2023, became a hot topic right after it was broadcast. Not only is Nekoneko’s thrilling heroine, but she also gained a lot of sympathy for her serious mystery and the human drama she woven in the harem, making it a work loved by a wide range of generations of people of all ages and genders.
The second season began in 2025, despite the enthusiasm. With Princess Tamayashi’s pregnancy, the dark clouds begin to swirl around the harem. And then there was an unprecedented, unsolved case in which Miyoshi’s life was targeted. The mystery brings more mysteries, and Harem Mystery Solving Entertainment, where more difficult cases await Nekoneko and Miyoshi, has opened again.
A newly drawn visual by Miyoshi has been released in conjunction with White Day on March 14th. It depicts Miyoshi wearing a refreshing costume that is typical of White Day. Miyoshi gives a lot of love for Valentine’s Day thanks to her sweet candy. The visuals were unveiled, perfect for White Day, just like they were having a tea ceremony with Miyoshi.
In addition, footage of Miyoshi with a mini voice drama has also been released. The content is sure to make you excited by the sweeter Miyoshi than candy. Be sure to wear earphones and listen.
The official website is also distributing wallpapers for PCs and smartphones using this visual. Official X (formerly Twitter) is also holding a lottery prize where 10 people will win a White Day visual card through follow and repost. Enjoy a day that will make you excited by the sweet Miyoshi.
