Alright, so here’s how I went about finding any solid news on Apothecary Diaries S2 today. Been itching for updates since S1 ended, felt like crawling through mud.
The Deep Dive Begins
First thing I did was fire up my usual news site. Typed in the Japanese title ‘Kusuriya no Hitorigoto’ first, then ‘Apothecary Diaries’, just in case someone used that. Scrolled through pages and pages of old articles – mostly just recaps of S1 finale stuff. Frustrating as heck. Not a single whisper about season two.
Getting Real Annoyed
Okay, thought maybe my go-to site was sleeping. Hopped over to a couple of big anime hubs. Checked their “Upcoming Releases” sections. Checked their “Recently Updated News” feeds. Man, it was all just:
- New key visuals for completely different shows.
- Articles about Blu-ray sales figures.
- Interviews with voice actors talking about past projects.
Zero mention of our beloved pharmacist. Felt like running into a brick wall repeatedly.
Turning to the Source
Figured, fine, maybe the official source is the way to go. Tracked down the official site. Loaded it up – slow connection didn’t help my mood. Found the news section. Mostly just promoting the manga volumes and the Blu-rays for season one. Buried way down? Announcements about character song CDs and some cafe collab in Japan. Nothing – absolutely nothing – with the words “Season 2” or “Renewal” in the headline. Total letdown.
Grasping at Rumors
Started getting desperate. Went on some big forums where fans hang out. Searched “Apothecary Diaries S2 renewal”, “season 2 leak”, even “release date rumors”. What did I find?
- A bunch of old threads from last year where people were just guessing based on popularity.
- Someone claiming their “uncle works at the studio” – sounded like complete nonsense.
- A few random tweets reposted claiming a “late 2024” date, but no source link anywhere, not even a hint of one. Pure speculation.
Felt like chasing ghosts. Why is it so hard to get real news on this?
My Take? Don’t Hold Your Breath
So here’s what my deep dive left me with: ZERO CONCRETE NEWS. If there was an official renewal announcement? It’d be plastered everywhere by now – official sites, big news outlets, the works. Silence says a lot.
Why the radio silence? Hard to say for sure, but maybe:
- The production committee is holding their cards stupidly close?
- They’re waiting for the manga to get further ahead? Dunno.
- Or maybe the studio is just slammed with other stuff? Sounds likely.
Whatever the reason, the harsh reality is: There’s no Season 2 release date because there’s no official Season 2 announcement at all. All those sites with “Renewal Details Here!”? They’re probably just recycling wishful thinking from months ago.
Bottom line after wasting most of the morning? Gotta manage my own expectations. Feels like we’re still in wait-and-see limbo. Super annoying, but that’s where it stands. I’ll keep half an eye out, but I ain’t refreshing pages constantly anymore.
