The TV anime Kusuriya no Hitorigoto has been consistently releasing “Maomao, Jinshi, and the Four Seasons” visuals on the 22nd of every month, featuring characters alongside seasonal plants. Now, the captivating visual for November has finally been unveiled!
Kusuriya no Hitorigoto is a widely celebrated series based on the novels by Hyuga Natsu, published under “Hero Bunko.” This intriguing tale follows a young girl, a “poison taster” within the imperial rear palace, as she cleverly solves various challenging mysteries. The TV anime captivated audiences with its first season from October 2023 to March 2024, followed by its second season from January to July 2025. Fans will be thrilled to know that a third TV anime season is slated to begin broadcasting in October 2026, with a theatrical movie also confirmed for release in December 2026!
The enchanting November visual for “Maomao, Jinshi, and the Four Seasons” is beautifully themed around ginkgo leaves. It portrays Consort Ata-hi and Consort Rishu-hi, two beloved characters, smiling at each other as they gather vibrant, colored ginkgo leaves under the soft autumn sunlight. This heartwarming illustration captures a bygone era when Ata-hi was still an esteemed imperial consort in the rear palace, showcasing a joyful scene where she and Rishu-hi share a bond akin to a mother and child, amidst the lavish yet often turbulent world of the imperial harem, where human emotions of love and hatred constantly swirl.
