Wasn't necessary for her to save that prick, more so after hearing the kind of sack he is.

lmao..... Jinshi's reaction was fking hilarious.
@AkeZZZ Maomao´s phrasing of what happened really can be interpreted two ways. Poor Jinshi, thinks she had sex with that other guy in exchange for a trip home.

Wow, I barely remember the wheat stalk mystery....

Now that we know how Ruomen who raised her was like, we all now understand how did Maomao became such a Sherlock Holmes.


As per usual, Gyokuyou is having the most amusement from Maomao and Jinshi's interactions, but this time Honnyan (instead of Gaoshun) plays the tsukomi instead. Bet you, if not because Gyokuyou is her charge, as a tsukomi, Honnyan would absolutely slap her with shamisen (or fan) as well for laughing. "Warana~!", she'd cried.

Jinshi's reaction to Maomao's blissful night with Lihaku was priceless. Poor Jinshi would have done anything for Maomao such as allowing her to visit her home for three days if she was willing to ask him. He's so jealous right now. What a misunderstanding.

This episode would be frustrating for the audience. The reason would be:
  • Many of the casts regarding to the incident are new to the audience.
  • The pacing is too fast for the amount of information.
  • The audience couldn't get an explicit solution for the incident.
Probably, the most frustrated person should be MaoMao as she stated; "Anyway, it's not my business. If you think too much for everything, you can't survive in this city." It's a bad habit of us to want to know the truth of all the gossip.
And it's a good direction to settle the episode with the short comedy of Jinshi that was actually the introduction of the next arc.

I don't get what you mean, the case has been solved. It is a murder and they are all in on it.

They are just apothecary and not the law enforcement. Most of their deductions are based on speculation alone. You don't see your local EMT breaking patient privacy and solving crimes, right?

I would love to see Maomao not end up with anyone. She's such a free creature, I would hate to see her be compromised. I enjoy the dynamic between her and Jinshi, but I don't like him. In a good way tho! I enjoy disliking him. idk I guess I feel the same way about him that Maomao does...lol. I just hope it doesn't turn into just another "enemies to lovers"/ tsundere thing. The pink hair lady is such a prankster..lol. She was really getting a kick out of Jinshi going crazy. It's definitely in the running for AOTS for me personally.

Maomao broke him with his own misunderstanding that he went into kernel panic, BSOD and perhaps can't even reboot. XD

I think that courtesan didn't actually fall in love with that man, but rather she heard about his reputation and wanted him killed. And I definitely believe that the entire brothel (including the little sister girl) knew that the courtesan was planning this and wanted to keep the silence on purpose. This was indeed a strong case.
@RawrOMG Sorry if I misunderstood you but do you realize that the courtesan who was in love and the one that tried to kill him are two different peole?

Nicotine poisoning can cause vomiting and paralysis of the respiratory muscles which is why mouth to mouth was needed.

We weren't told what herbs were given unless I missed something. However in a charcoal preparation which is commonly done in TCM the charcoal may in theory act as an absorbent of the nicotine assuming it is activated charcoal. Activated charcoal has tiny holes in it that traps certain molecules but not so much water and nicotine is one of the things it is able to absorb. This isn't wildly different from what it done in modern medicine as far as I am aware. This of course only captures the nicotine in the stomach and possibly intestines depending on when the stomach emptying occurs, not what is already in the blood stream, though once it passes through the kidneys Id assume it may filter a little from the blood. If we were to assume it followed similar procedure as modern medicine the herbs would have been laxatives and something to prevent seizures and stabilize heart rate. One drug used to counter the nicotine is atropine (which can raise heart rate but I assume why it's used for nicotine is it is a stronger binder to receptors with a weaker action than nicotine? Maybe if any med student reads this they could explain) which you can obtain from various poisonous plants and there is some natural laxatives too though I am unsure what would exist in this supposed environment. For anti seizure hmmm cannabis maybe or echinacea which contains something similar in effect to CBD.

Ah, so Maomao's father seems to be the true master apothecary. Was interesting to see a little bit of the student x teacher dynamic they share. Maybe we will get to see a bit more of that in the future.

I love the fact that Maomao didn't fully explain the reward. Traumatized Jinshi is best Jinshi, lol.

What are the other meanings of the hairpins given during the tea ceremony? Is it a marriage proposal or something?
@Kawaii_swan ive been assuming it means an invitation to have sex or something like that? Like the worker gets to go home with the hairpin person to bonk it out ???

Such a chaotic start... Maomao still managed to save their lives but that was certainly rough.

That ending had me feeling for the dude, Maomao is so dense with these stuff it leads to such hilarious scenes!
It seems I catched up with the anime, sad fact.

Checking the source material, up to episode 8 it seems it was adapted up to LN vol1, chapter 24!
A single volume so far used, that is crazy, they are going slow-paced, slowly savoring the source material.

My guess would be that these 24 episodes will adapt at most 4 volumes or 3 volumes.
THUS there is more than enough material to get 75 episodes in total for this series already, which leaves me very excited and hopeful for the future of this adaptation!

Also cant praise the OP1 enough, it is so stylish I fear OP2 might disappoint me in comparison.

First case with Maomao outside the palace yet it was one with no proper conclusion. Kinda underwhelming, not gonna lie.

Also, I think it's about time for someone to clear up the misunderstanding regarding those hairpins. Just saying.

That's because in fact the denouement here is exactly what Maomao agrees with. Why? Keep watching, it'll be explained to you.

another amazing episode
I really want to know the significance behind giving someone a hairpin

I started watching this today and binged eps 1 to 8
can't wait for more
this became one of favourite animes airing this season
@Homura24 someone might have already said this but in case there hasnt been an answer:

Hairpin


For consorts to their ladies, it could mean that the ladies in waiting are under this person's care/protection
Ex: Gyokuyou/Lihua to Maomao and their attendants. This is what Maomao thinks at first. That the hairpin is just something work-related.

For some officials, it could be a way of networking or sourcing for talented people inside the inner court.

Sometimes, it could be a way of marriage or courting. This is one way for attendants to meet men and to look for marriage potentials.

There is one case in the manga where this happened. An attendant got a hairpin from some officials and they are supposed
to be married once the attendant's "contract" is up.

This is why Yinghua and the Jade ladies thought Maomao went out on a date with Lihaku.
This is also what Jinshi thought of when Maomao returned.

----

What Maomao did was capitalize on the "romance/work" meaning of the hairpin. Lihaku would vouch for her to be temporarily "taken out" of the inner court.

What the hell was this episode, at least in the second half? Maomao annoys me because she doesn't explain herself which ends up in serious miscommunication and misunderstanding. Poor Jinshi thinks Maomao slept with the other guy. This episode went by too fast though, literally blinked and it was over.
