Kusuriya no Hitorigoto

Lishu is the klutzest consort! and dumbest!

Daily reminder that "pedophilia" dosen't exist.

Bigger than Basen's at least. Apparently they compared sizes before that's why Jinshi was confident that he's more than average.

Anyone noticed Lishu looked more grown up now compared to when we first saw her in S1?
By next season she will probably lose all her loli features.

That's a nice back.

I couldnt make it last week but the bath episode was very comfy

Decently sized.

Yeah, thanks to HER raping all the pedos in not!China to death.

BendOver.jpg - 1528x2072, 1.02M

damn, ka zuigetsu-sama is STACKED

Is next episode roughly 2 and a half hours from now?

Where should I go if I want to see discussions from Japanese fans about the latest LN/WN volumes? I really want to know what they think of the recent arcs.

we're all japanese here

It's lame because he might stay forever virgin anyway.

anon, she's 15yo woman already
she masturbates thinking about Big Emperor Dong every evening

anon pls I'm desperate. I tried X since I heard it's a popular platform in nipland however it's such a clusterfuck there.

Why is the pacing weird? They spent the whole ep on Lishu's filler ghost story. This is just one chapter in the manga.

It's one chapter in the LN.

it's one ep in anime
seeing pattern?

Xiaolan crying next episode

Nothing bad is gonna happen to her, r-right?

Usually it's 2 manga chapters per episode.

We're going to see even more dark Jinshi moments in this season I'm so ready.

ep38.jpg - 2048x2048, 191.55K

The ice was to make a dessert. And Maomao uses her food gastronomy skills that came out of nowhere to make a cold dessert saving Xiaolans and the Eunuchs asses.

lishu the klutz!
lishu the fool!
lishu the smol!

thanks sherlock

Jinshi would be much more likeable if he wasn't written like such a creeper whenever he's near Maomao.

Jinshi looks funny here

what the hell, that's not how it works

He has the crazy eye
Unfortunately most anime watchers need things to be spelled out for them. Even then you'd be surprised at how many people still get the important information from the show wrong.

But that's why the female audience likes him.

I was thinking the same thing
water anus

Almost every character close to the MC are mary sues/stues and have plot armors. Starting with her "retarded" father who somehow is the top millitary leader in the country who never gets insta merced. Oh and even the emperor fears him. Fucking cringe writing. Cant wait to find out next ep why Maomao's useless maid friend didnt get immediately punished and kicked out.

imagine releasing a frog into it
haha, crazy

mystery niggas

It's like with tsundere, sure there's a small vocal group that really likes them, but most people actually find them very annoying.

I can't believe Xiaolan was evil all along!
why did she do it?

Lakan is a genius but he's so autistic that it costed him the love of his life. Sounds like a fair trade-off to me.
Of course someone who is a military general would be smart. That's why he was able to claim this rank in the first place.

I don't think "plot armor" matters in a mystery series. That concept only makes sense in action/fighting series where protags just win every fight unreasonably

This series is actually good. I started reading the Light Novels.

How the fuck do they not realize the new eunuch is Suirei? Unless I'm retarded as well.

Still don't like the new OP

Suirei passes off pretty perfectly as an androgynous eunuch and, unless they've seen her face before she fled, no one would recognize her as Suirei.
It's also a suspension of disbelief thing because disguises and cross-dressing happens a lot throughout the series.

She doesn't have a peanus weanus, so she fits right in.

I want to protect Xiaolan and fight whatever evil comes next to her.
I wanna spend my life with her and die happily for her well being.

It's ass even nips don't think it fits the series.

On the subject of which, aren't eunuchs required to be examined before entering the rear palace, to confirm that there's nothing there?

I'd say Lahan is the most mary-sueish one in the family, he has the family autism, but it's also very successful with women.
The only problem for him is Jinshi's gender

You will see him make a lady-in-waiting piss herself

piss.jpg - 1115x1600, 572.31K

I can't believe they're going to kill Xiaolan

Presumably they only need to be examined once, then once they're known to the guards, there's no need to feel them up again.

Will we ever see Lishu stand up for herself, or will her character always be the poor victim?
I get that she's young, however Anshi was thrown into a similar situation and managed to turn things around, becoming Empress at just 10 years old.

Why is Maomao so small?

what if it feels good?

Damn, making bitches wet wherever he goes.

Maomao anal

she fell into pot with magic herbs when she was little.
littler.

Sure, but how did she pass as a eunuch when she's got something else there entirely? Surely they'd be more thorough with the examination than just a quick pat down through the person's clothes, just in case somebody really good at tucking decides they want to contribute to the imperial family.

I can beat Maomao in a fist fight

Fighting cat.png - 816x1024, 731.2K

RELEASE IT LISHU! THINK OF ALL THE PAIN YOUR LADIES IN WAITING HAVE CAUSED!

Finally we'll have no more fruity Jinshi. His creepy fakeass smile pissed me off.

Because personality is what defines matureness, not age.
Anshi was mentally older than her age showed, while Lishu is still a kid.

I'd still like to see her standing up to her bullies at least once. She can't count on people helping her out of pity forever.

Surely they'd be more thorough with the examination than just a quick pat down through the person's clothes

Why I've got the impression you're just shitposting?

Jinshi doesn't have a piss fetish confirmed

Who the fuck is Suirei?

anon...

I can't keep up with all the names

Only because he hasn't seen Maomao wet herself yet.

what the hell, that's not how it works

Maybe among male viewers but I can guarantee you that at least 80-90% of the female audience loves this shit.

So whats the point of the loli concubine?

emperor wont fuck her

only generates problems

she's the rear palace clown

Like Obelix

fuck xialoan

she's for me

Filler episode
Yawn

you can clearly see the structure in bottom 3rd pic not a water hole straight down with zero spin

I’d argue semantics but I don’t care

She came for the first time last episode.

I mean, we know for a fact that at least 1 year has passed since then, she is still growing so that's to be expected.

For sure. Most women online seemed to think that the cave frog scene was really "romantic".

omg its sans undertale

What a boring episode

california is fucked up

Surely they'd be more thorough with the examination than just a quick pat down through the person's clothes

Nope, lmao

Maomao's 毛毛猫猫。

Only took him 38 episodes to say it

Glory hole?

Is this the first time he calls her by her name?

It's an overflow for a dam or something similar, so that if the water level exceeds the height of its rim, then the excess water gets drained out and sent through an underground pipe to wherever it gets emptied.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spillway#Bell-mouth_spillway
Incidentally, just to keep it more Anon Babble-related, one of these was a major element in the most recent garupan movie

How does Jinshi have a big cock if he's been taking ancient chinese HRT since he was 14?

Comic relief

the hrt shrunk his frog and it's still large
just imagine how big it was BEFORE

everyone in the room was shocked

the old emperor was a pedophile please understand

his cock has plot armor. cock armor

Ancient chinese secret.

would obliterate maomao, stomach deformation

Yes.

A favor for her mom. She was a friend and the Emperor is trying to keep Linshu out of her father's hands.

stomach deformation

muh

Gives her family prestige. Having a daughter in the imperial harem gives you a link to the dynasty. It's not something to be cast aside lightly.

when she sees my frog

I just Lishu to be happy.

I just want her to be pregnant

She'll be after getting some ducks
Ducks for happiness

just uneducated. and bullied.

He is a fucking gary stu

prettiest male character in the series

but also shredded as hell

has a big cock

in S1 he beat a fighter in hand to hand combat who probably trained his whole life and went to war

Like holy fuck. At least dont make the preppy fuckboy emperor spawn beat a literal warrior in a fight. Just ridiculous

You don't think that him being shredded and skilled at sword fighting are in any way related? He clearly trains. A lot.

To balance it out he's really pathetic when it comes to romance

wow anon, you're soooo perspective

How did he train when he is supposed to be a eunuch? So which one is hack author? No one knows who he is, but also he gets to have private training sessions with people who dont question his identity? And somehow I doubt his sparring partners were allowed to go ham on his twink ass and hit his face with full force

Stop being jealous of our hero Jinshi-sama

Lishu thinks about big Basen cock

Xiaolan bros...

Can't beat the duck

Is there even a major plot that spans over the LN/show, it's been 95% monster of the week episodes.
I was more invested in the 2 Raven shows that aired a while ago.

wow... he's literally me

The Emperor actually plans to have her marry Jinshi lol.

another plotfag broken

mystery of the week episodes have been my favorite part of this show

the sole pudgy faced lady in waiting is the antagonist of the ep

yep woman author

This is the real reason she keeps rejecting him. She's too scared of facing the frog.

Jinshi being a gary stu is not a take I've seen before. Good for him that somebody recognizes his talents because most of his personality is being insecure about his position and thinking he's not good enough because he's a jack of all trades, master of none.

Yes. You would've noticed if you were paying attention.

I fucking swear I'll fucking go apeshit if anyone does anything bad to Xiaolan.

Prpring Machi's holes!

Let's see.
In the first season there was the assassination attempt on Jinshi and in the 2nd season we now know that he indeed does have a penis.
That's certainly a major plotline for almost 40 episodes.

This but instead of fingers it's my dick.

You'd be surprised. Maomao has an army of dykes that claim her as ace/lesbian and they hate Jinshi bad.

Hugs and kisses and reassuring her everything will be ok.

Even if that's true the vast majority ship Jinmao, i remember seeing a fanart during the frog episodes that had over 100k likes

He might be a strong pretty boy packing 9-10 inches but personality wise he's actually really damn childish.
He's easy to trigger, gets jealous fast and tends to have insecure outbursts.

If you you compare him to MaoMao he's definitely the woman in the dynamic their relationship has.

Maomao gets to fuck THIS?

He's just too cool.
The Über Chad Asian.
though the one he beat was Basen, who is actually younger than him and more inexperienced

She wants to fuck him at some point but it's actually him who turns her down repeatedly.

It's mentioned that he is only a bit better than average at anything he's tried. The only standout thing about him is his looks.
The guy has a massive inferiority complex, which was the reason he started working as a eunuch in the first place, it's the only place where he felt like he could be useful.

S1 he beat a fighter in hand to hand combat who probably trained his whole life and went to war

Basen is actually much stronger than Jinshi in raw strength. You will see it when he gets more focus in future.

Is there even a major plot that spans over the LN/show

Without going into spoiler territory, something big is coming up in this volume. For reference, we've just started volume 4 of the LN: the last episode was chapters 1 and 2, and today's episode did chapter 3 and 4, out of 22 (plus an epilogue).
The mystery-of-the-week plots have been introducing and foreshadowing different elements for this, laying foundations for the development to actually make sense when it happens.
Assuming the adaptation keeps an average pace of two chapters per episode, the arc in question will be completed by the end of this cour, with a little extra space to stretch out a major chapter or two.

he's really pathetic when it comes to romance

So am I. Where are my perks?

He also gets a permanent scar on his face so he can't be a perfect nymph anymore.
At least he still has a big frog though.

I'm hyped for the mystery nigga definitely-not-suirei

Anon it's a shoujo

Is there some Chinese thing against striping someone naked to do a visual inspection. Seems like a simple thing to tell them to just drop their pants for a second.

Feeling up evil women.

be highborn

pass civil service exam

decades of meritorious service

please examine these bottom surgery scars uwu

They could surely just have a couple of eunuch servants do it.
Giving the most benefit of the doubt possible, the people organizing this might not have considered the possibility of a woman disguising herself as a eunuch, but a less scrutinizing method like this risks somebody sneaking through intact if they're really good at tucking (and by extension risking an illegitimate heir or two).

Sounds a tad retarded. How many emperors have also been the preeminent genius of any given field? Being competent at several fields so he can judge whether the officials responsible for that are themselves good at what they do actually seems more important for his station.

did you not... watch the show at all? there's essentially an entire family dedicated exclusively to serving him (and the imperial family in general?)
they attend and guard him and obviously are all in the known; being an eunuch is a "mask" Jinshi wears to dupe everyone else in the court

How is groping a eunuch less demeaning than simply having him strip in front of you?

It's been shown Jinshi's been around battlefields and that he does a lot of hard chinese ninja training before anyone's even up.

because it's not groping if there's nothing to grope

It's mentioned that he is only a bit better than average at anything he's tried. The only standout thing about him is his looks.

Isn't that just Jinshi being self-deprecating? He's very socially clever when he's dealing with everyone not called Maomao, his swordsmanship and general athleticism are peak and he's a super bureaucrat most days.

Right, touching a castration wound is much less dignified than looking at one.

good thing we agree

Good of you to change your mind so quickly.

I can't believe Xiaolan is fucking dead

Post it

She was setup

Basen would cut his own dick before hurting Jinshi even accidentally. Full power Basen is hulk

There's also a risk of getting urine on your hand, because the eunuchs supposedly tended to leak a bit (in fact one could therefore realistically suspect Jinshi of being intact without needing to check the frog, based on him never having an odor of it lingering on him)

If Jinshi didn't exist, Maomao would've been a dyke.
No fully straight woman gets pleasure by flipping skirts.

The high ranking ones probably had all kinds of perfumes

Good point; I'd not considered that.

We won't see Basen breaking men's legs until next season, right?

This one

they see your 青蛙

1743818145221.jpg - 1920x1080, 287.75K

Damn could she even survive Jinshi penetrating her with his massive frog?
Let alone childbirth.

What's the appeal, size difference of pedophilia?

Oh come on, why did the artist have to use her toned down anime outfit.

There're only men on Anon Babble

have you ever opened an otome slop thread?

Were all little girls here

Jinshi's an adult now she won't go to jail

most of the stuff I watch are romcoms

I don't care about romance in this show

Explain me to me.

I want to see her insides remodeled by Big Jinshi Frog, but ya can't have that on TV.

This is what I want

1743185179874.jpg - 1920x1080, 254.02K

Yes I want the family arc where Maomao raises a bunch of little purple haired Maomaos

I wish I were a rich and powerful Gigachang who got to experience both unbridled female desire and the thrill of the chase with a catgirl yes

Did I stutter?

No I want actual development
This was such a fucking tease with barely any actual outcome

They won't show this in the anime right...

She will be Basen's love interest

She will, but quite a bit later

How in the world xiaolan broke the cart? She is little girl, not fkin terminator.

One of the consorts at the bath seemed to have taken a liking to her, and had given her a small hair stick. It was a minor thing, but Xiaolan, who had been thrilled to receive even a hairband, was over the moon about it. That joy had possessed her until just a moment earlier, when she’d been running along without quite looking where she was going and had run smack into a cart that happened to be stopped in her way.

Such power.

hating on Xiaolan's voice

I don't even know that's possible.
Her voice is the CUTEST.
youtu.be/TRlYzYZlCG4

i don't dislike xiaolan's CV, but seto-san mogs her so hard it's unbelievable.

still thingken of jinshi's somewhat sizable frog...

maomao gets passed around by older women, for free

The outcome is the frog joke she brings up every episode.

PROPERTY OF JINSHI

lishu is glowing!

we have a ghost problem

well ackchually there's a logical and scientific answer to explain this coincidence

AIEEEEEEE NO IT'S THE GHOST OF MY DEAD MOTHER SHE'S PUNISHING ME FOR KILLING HER

jesus calm down lishu it's just some light and steam

ugly hag gets btfo for bullying lishu

you get what you fucking deserve

what is this about?

cats

Frogs

Unless you're a manlet, size difference is natural.

Whores

xiaolan accidentally breaks some ice intended for a high tier concubine

it's fine, she's friends with maomao- fuck all is going to happen to her right...right!?

She's getting... iced

NYOOOO

She's going to have to work the night shift in the guard barracks for a year

Stupid Josette... oh wait!

World building

Sorry but Xiaolan needs to be punished. This girl will get whipped. On her butt.

FRFRFREE STYLA

You can actually see the result of this incident in the new OP.

I wish the anime would just adapt the nekokurage manga straight up. They already used her character designs anyway.

From what I can understand, the anime is more of a direct adaptation of the light novels while using the same character designs as the manga (the one by the accidental tax evader) right?

oops I just evaded my taxes teehee

based

You'll have to wait 4 more seasons for actual development (if one could even call it that) but until then it's just teasing that gets kinkier every time.

So besides the ice cream Catcats gonna do her examination next time too?

Welcome to shoujo, anon.
Also all the delinquents?bad boys are good deep down, all the doctors/artists really insecure about themselves, all the rich bussiness owners would totally date a normal girl like the reader.

You could say that she did a poor job at breaking the ice.
Apparently it's not unheard of for a suddenly successful manga artist to do it by accident, simply because they're not used to having that much taxable income.

Before somebody mentions that it's not shoujo mangaup tags it as such
manga-up.com/titles/356

asking this again because all you did was leave me more confused, is this some sort of cultivation anime?

it's an anime for women

cultivation

No, it is about Imperial China but not Chinese.

It's seinen chud

It's about an apothecary girl working in harem in not-China as a food tester. While doing it she solves a lot of intrigues, conspiracies, crimes and other various mysteries.

It's josei because its primary focus is a woman advancing her career.

It's an anime about use a search engine, you retarded troglodyte.

SEXO ANAL

Man the new OP is so bad compared to the previous one.
This little arc is amazing. It really shows just how much Lishu is still just a sweet pure girl at heart.
Lusty cat has somewhat sizable frogs on the mind.
Their regular fight over who owns the cat is always amusing.
Why they continue to let these cunts bully her is a mystery.
This is why it's important to always properly ventilate a bathroom anons. Water can and will fuck up anything it can.
Love the mystery solving BGM that plays.
Dumb ugly whore not knowing her place.
The handsome "man" these girls keep admiring. Wonder how they are going to handle it.
Poor cute dork in trouble for spilling ice.
This ED is really generic, especially visually.

file.png - 1920x1080, 2.29M

Oh wow, he got a character upgrade and he stopped being pathetic and now Māomāo is constantly uncomfortable.
Is this when the rapechad story actually starts?

yes, he gets less and less screen time, fortunately.

is this some sort of cultivation anime?

I mean as long as you improve you are in cultivation, so I guess.

Man the new OP is so bad compared to the previous one.

I like the song more, but the visuals are more pedestrian, the mask part just plain sucks.
I love the PoV bit, though.

So tell me, why did you read the source material till the end. What is it that makes this title appeal to you so?

This ED is really generic, especially visually.

I've grown to like the song, especially in the context of LN 4's ending.

Wow, now he's doing diplomacy and using that smile of his to work his way through dialog bosses like I always wanted him to do more and he actually becomes useful.
Did I just have to wait 34 episodes for this?

I'm pretty sure he used his charisma to help MaoMao when Lihua's servants kept kicking her out of the Crystal Pavilion

She's only about two years older.

Yeah he does it once in a while, just not enough I guess. It just stands out because he did it now a moment after making the protagonist flustered so it feels like they're finally going somewhere with him.

Next up we'll actually see him fight and beat up people.

it's about cats i told ypu

The mask being CG looks especially shit.

It really does give a lot away if you know.

Shut up homo! You should be turned into a eunuch for such crimes.

It's Japafied chink telenovela for HighT alphamales, femcel inserters and cat/frog enjoyers.

I literally don't know how better to describe it.

I literally don't know how better to describe it.

House if he was an anime girl

House if he was an anime girl

Incredibly apt.
No wonder i like this show.

Grim.
Jinish focused eps are the best part of this show.

This ain it.png - 894x875, 860.62K

I read the first 4 LNs. Is it worth continuing? I hate the romance portions of the series.
