Following the release on May 21st of the CD for the ending theme "Hitorigoto" by the band "Omoinotake" for the second cour of the second season of the TV anime "The Apothecary Diaries , " Aoi Yuki , the voice actress for Maomao , has made a comment.
Yuuki said, "I thought the song 'Hitorigoto' gave you the feeling that the thoughts you'd kept secret in your heart were quietly putting into words. The 'feelings' put into the lyrics seem to overlap with the relationship between Kosui and Maomao. I think the meaning will resonate even more deeply in your heart after watching the second season of the anime. It's as if the feelings they couldn't put into words are allowed and spoken only in the song. It's a very quiet song, but one that definitely leaves a lingering impression."
"The Apothecary Diaries " is based on a light novel by Natsu Hyuga , which was created on the novel submission website " Shosetsuka ni Naro ". The light novel is published by Hero Bunko (Imagine Infos), and the comic adaptation is also gaining popularity. The original series has sold over 40 million copies in total.
