Anime & Art Appreciation Society - Apothecary Diaries

JETAA Chicago and the Japan America Society of Chicago YPC continue our Anime & Art Club with a meeting on Tuesday, July 15th!

Our club will be discussing various individual anime series. For our next meeting, we have chosen episodes 1-4 of Apothecary Diaries, based on the novel series by Natsu Hyuga. The story is set in an alternate reality of the Ming dynasty and follows a girl named Maomao, who was trained from an early age by her apothecary father. She was sold as a servant to the emperor's palace, where she secretly employs her pharmacological skills to solve medical mysteries.

Be sure to view the anime in advance (available on Netflix & Crunchyroll) and join us for an evening of casual discussion in a virtual space via Zoom! Registrations are limited, so grab a spot while you can!

This event is open to JET alumni, JASC YPC members and friends.
