The Apothecary Diaries 5


The beloved and highly satisfying series enters an exciting new chapter! While the mysteries remain as compelling as ever, you won't be able to take your eyes off the evolving relationship between Maomao and Jinshi!

With the rebellion of the Shi clan quelled and a new prince born within the palace, Consort Gyokuyō is officially elevated to the position of principal consort.
Jinshi, too, sheds his role as a eunuch and begins acting openly as the emperor's younger brother, engaging directly in state affairs.

On the surface, all seems peaceful and stable—but a disturbing tension lingers in the air across the capital.

As for Maomao, she's once again drawn into a series of peculiar incidents: a mysterious case involving poisoned sweets, growing concerns over a locust plague, and a dispute over ownership of a papermaking village. As always, she can’t help but poke her nose into trouble.

Soon, under Jinshi's orders, she is dispatched to the western city of Seito—Consort Gyokuyō’s hometown. Amid a grand ball where brilliant flowers bloom in dance and festivity, a dark conspiracy quietly takes root.

Will Maomao be able to uncover the truth behind the scheme before it’s too late?

Detective Conan: One-eyed Flashback


A Gripping Mystery Amid the Howling Snow—Fates Collide in the Mountains
Kogoro receives an unexpected call from an old colleague from his time at the Metropolitan Police—nicknamed "Wani" (the Crocodile). Wani wants to ask about an incident involving Detective Kansuke Yamato of the Nagano Prefectural Police, someone Conan and his friends have previously helped solve a case with.
Ten months ago, while tracking a suspect in a separate case, Yamato was caught in a devastating avalanche. Though he miraculously survived, he lost sight in one eye and now bears a deep scar from the ordeal.
Since then, he has continued working—and during a visit to an observatory to investigate a break-in, his injured eye suddenly begins to throb near a massive parabolic antenna.
Meanwhile, as Kogoro, Conan, and the others head to meet with Wani, the sound of gunfire rings out across the snowy landscape... and they rush toward the scene!
