Japanese toy company Megahouse's "LOOK UP" series, which features numerous anime and manga characters as chibi figures with an upward-gazing pose, has simultaneously released two new products based on the popular anime "The Apothecary Diaries" — the Maomao and Jinshi chibi figures. Each figure has a suggested retail price of 4,620 JPY, and is scheduled for release in late September 2025!
"The Apothecary Diaries" is a light novel series written by Japanese novelist Natsu Hyuuga. In 2023, it was adapted into a TV anime by TOHO animation STUDIO and OLM. The story follows Maomao, a young girl from the pleasure district who is skilled in deduction and knowledgeable about pharmacology. By chance, she is abducted and sold into the imperial harem as a low-ranking servant, where she gradually establishes her influence amidst the palace's intricate power struggles!
These two LOOK UP figures stand approximately 11 cm tall. Maomao and Jinshi are sculpted in an adorable approximately 2.5-head-tall chibi proportion. Despite their chibi scale, details such as their hairstyles and outfits are faithfully reproduced. Their heads feature simple articulation, allowing for slight adjustments to the direction of their gaze. Pre-ordering the two-figure set through official channels will also include special cushions, which can be used to enhance the display's aesthetic!
