Maomao Cosplay from The Apothecary Diaries
Maomao is the central protagonist of The Apothecary Diaries (Kusuriya no Hitorigoto), a historical fantasy series following a sharp‑witted apothecary servant who becomes embroiled in palace intrigue, mysteries, and herbal remedies. With her knowledge of medicine, curiosity, and quick thinking, Maomao stands out as a compelling and intelligent heroine.
