Dr. Stone heavily revolves around the smart protagonist and problem solving arcs. Kusuriya is no Hitorigoto is very similar in the sense that the main protagonist is uniquely smart in solving societal problems and scandals.
Both have enjoyable and distinctive world building. I loved Dr. Stone's pacing and creative solutions of Senku, so I loved Kusuriya as well for the same reasons.
If you're looking for a cuter Dr. Stone, this is definitely it. The main draw of both of these series is the intelligent main character. The Apothecary Diaries has more of a detective focus like Sherlock Holmes. But the main character is an expert in medicine, which contributes many interesting scenes like those in Dr. Stone.
