薬屋のひとりごと [Kusuriya no Hitorigoto] #13

A delightful volume of The Apothecary Diaries manga, this thirteenth installment features Maomao front and center on its cover, dressed in a rich crimson robe and delicately sampling something from a bowl of what appears to be rice topped with bright red cherries. Published by Square Enix, the series continues to blend its atmospheric imperial-court setting with the quiet charm of its herb-savvy heroine. Fans of historical mystery and elegant character design will find this volume a lovely addition to their collection.
