The official collaboration visual between the TV anime The Apothecary Diaries and the Japan Pharmaceutical Association has been unveiled! Additionally, a poster and special medication notebook featuring the visual will be available from March.

Raising Awareness on the Importance of Medication Notebooks

First announced in November 2023, the details of this collaboration have now been revealed. The newly released visual showcases MaoMao standing in front of the Imperial Medical Bureau’s hundred-flavor cabinet, grinding ingredients with a mortar to prepare medicine. This fitting imagery represents the collaboration’s goal of promoting pharmacists' roles and the importance of medication notebooks.

Starting in March, posters will be distributed for free to approximately 52,750 pharmacies and hospitals across Japan where Japan Pharmaceutical Association members work. The special collaboration medication notebooks will also be introduced at pharmacy counters nationwide to help spread awareness about the essential role of pharmacists and the significance of medication records.
