The Phenomenal Success of Kusuriya no Hitorigoto

The second season, which aired from January 2025, continued to ride this wave of popularity, consistently ranking at the top across various streaming platforms. Its dominance was particularly evident in “ABEMA’s 2025 First Half Anime Ranking,” where it gloriously swept the first place in *all* categories: “Overall Anime Playback Ranking,” “New Anime Playback Ranking,” and even across all “Age Group Anime Playback Rankings” for viewers in their 10s, 20s, and 30s and above!
Beyond its streaming success, Kusuriya no Hitorigoto was also crowned the Grand Prize winner of the “TikTok First Half Trend Award 2025,” further solidifying its status as a beloved series enjoyed by people of all ages and genders.
