The Apothecary's Monologue Exhibition
A special exhibition will be held at the Hanshin Umeda main store that delves deeply into the world of the novel ``A Pharmacist's Monologue.''' In addition to the "Corridor" and character setting materials, as well as a "deep reading" exhibit that approaches the truth of the incident, there will also be visuals limited to the Osaka venue and original goods.
Behind the Scenes
``Apothecary's Hitorigoto'' is a very popular mystery-solving entertainment series that has sold over 45 million copies in total, and depicts Neomako, a girl who plays the role of ``poison inspector,''' solving various difficult cases in the inner palace. In addition to Maomao's exciting heroine nature, the human drama created with a full-fledged mystery and exotic worldview has garnered a lot of sympathy and is loved by men and women of all ages.
After the second season of the TV anime airs in July 2025, the production of the third season of the TV anime and the movie version will be announced. The third season of the TV anime is scheduled to be broadcast in two separate seasons from October 2026, and the theatrical version is scheduled to be released in December of the same year.
Exhibition Highlights
At the venue, there will be a variety of content that will allow you to deeply understand the world interwoven with Natsu Hyuga's story and Touko Shino's illustrations, including a ``corridor'' that unravels the history of the work, setting materials and relationship diagrams of the characters, ``deep reading'' that approaches the truth of the incident, and an exhibition of key items that appear in the work.
In addition, there will be a ``Dissection of a Pharmacist's Monologue'' that goes behind the scenes of the creation process with comments from Natsu Hyuga, as well as original goods for sale at the venue and a photo spot. The content allows you to enjoy the world view of the work that can only be experienced here.
The exhibition booth will feature a variety of must-see content for fans, including special exhibits exclusive to the original exhibition, production materials for creation, and photo spots. You can enjoy with all five senses the fascinating worldview of ``A Pharmacist's Hirogoto'' that cannot be experienced just by turning the pages.
In addition, a limited number of original exhibition goods will be sold at the venue. There will be many items that can only be purchased at the original exhibition, including official transcripts and fans that reproduce designs from the work.
Furthermore, at the Osaka venue, in addition to exhibiting a limited key visual, goods using the same visual will also be sold.
In addition, at Hanshin Daishokudo on the 9th floor and cafes on each floor from 3rd to 7th floors (excluding Starbucks Coffee, Botanicals, and Sesame Street Market), visitors who present a ticket to the exhibition ``Poison and Medicine, Science and Mystery'' based on the novel ``Hitorigoto of the Apothecary'' and spend 1,400 yen (tax included) or more on the food and drink menu will receive an ``Osaka Venue Original Postcard'' as a gift. Limited to the first 3,000 people, the offer will end as soon as it runs out.
It looks like this will be an exhibition where you can thoroughly enjoy the world of ``A Pharmacist's Monologue.''
