It has been announced that a recitation version of the ending theme "Hitorigoto" by the band "Omoinotake" for the second season of the TV anime "The Apothecary Diaries " will be released on YouTube on June 6th. Aoi Yuki , the voice actress for the main character Maomao , will recite the lyrics to the instrumental version of the song. A short version of just the chorus was released on Omoinotake's SNS in advance.
Yuuki commented, "I thought that 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 that after watching the second season of the anime, the meaning will resonate even more deeply in your heart. It's as if the feelings that they couldn't put into words are allowed to be 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. The story is set in a glamorous harem on a certain continent, where a young girl named Maomao, who works as a poison taster, becomes embroiled in an incident that occurs in the harem, which is full of conspiracies and rumors, together with a handsome eunuch Jinshi. The first season of the TV anime aired on Nippon TV from October 2023 to March 2024.
The second season is currently airing on Nippon Television's anime slot "FRIDAY ANIME NIGHT (Fura-ani)."
