Following the conclusion of the first wave of monthly Nekoneko Day visuals, The Apothecary Diaries has officially launched “Maomao and Jinshi Through the Four Seasons – Chapter 2.” The new series began in July 2025 and will once again feature seasonal illustrations released on the 22nd of every month, known as “Nekoneko Day.”
The July visual features Maomao and Pairin relaxing after a bath on a summer evening, surrounded by glowing fireflies and the soft, mystical light of hotaru-bukuro (Japanese bellflowers). Pairin is one of the top courtesans of the Ryokusokan, with Chapter 2 set to include new characters from the Ryokusokan in the monthly visuals.
