I LOVE this series so much, but this is definitely my least favorite volume of the series thus far.
It was not badly written as Koyou is amazing as ever and I admire her determination to never stop looking for a cure! Plus when she feels extremely certain of what is happening and why the sickness is spreading, she learned from her interaction with her last patient (and what a wise man told her) and changed how she would have initially handled the open hostility towards her.
The reason I bring that up is because I think it was very critical to see how different Koyou is from Shoushin when it comes to taking care of others. They are VERY similar as it's been pointed out before (and in this volume specifically), but as it was shown in Koyou's actions at the end, she isn't like him.
Which is a relief because Shoushin has always rubbed me wrong and seeing his backstory, it definitely explains why. I think it's "villains" like him who are some of the scariest and most compelling characters there are because while I really want Koyou to stay away from him, I don't utterly dislike him either. He makes me uncomfortable and really hate how we see that he is "playing god" of sorts and "giving out" trials to people to see how they'll react/respond. Oh, how I hated that! It's not his place to do any such thing, but it explains his motivations very well.
Lastly, I will say that this volume did have an extremely triggering moment that left me very unsettled when I read this yesterday. TW: There is a GROWN man who makes it known that he wants Shoushin, who at that time is a child. A CHILD. Someone could say he was a preteen, but that doesn't excuse that this man obviously did things with a CHILD in bed and has some kind of one-sided lust/"affection" for him.
I was VERY upset about it even though there is nothing intimate shown outside of him holding Shoushin's hand, it deeply deeply bothered me nonetheless.
I will definitely still keep reading the series because I love it, but I know this is the only volume I will only reread the beginning and the end of because the middle is too upsetting for me.

well, isn’t that a DEVASTATING backstory in the middle of my fun, medical drama/mystery

J'étais impatiente de lire la suite de ce manga. Ici, on va un peu délaisser le protagoniste masculin pour se concentrer sur notre jeune médecin. Loin de la ville, elle se concentre entièrement sur sa tâche pour tenter de comprendre ce qui frappe le village. Mais elle ne reconnait aucun des symptômes ! Aider par un mystérieux apothicaire, elle n'abandonnera pas et se lance entièrement dans ses recherches.
On en apprendra alors davantage sur ce fameux "Apothicaire" et que de révélations ! Wahou. ça secoue. Mais ne nous inquiétons pas Keiun va avoir droit à quelques pages qui feront (un peu) avancer le mystère. Ahh je voudrais connaître la suite de cette affaire.

この巻勉強になりました！
トウモロコシは栄養を増したいならアルカリ性と一緒に煮るべきだ。知らなかった。そうしなかったら栄養の方は低いし、マイコトキシンも残っていていろんな病気の原因になる。面白い！この時代にそのマイコトキシンを防ぐいろんな方法あると思う、畑に殺菌剤入れてとかが昔にはそんなものがなかったから、別の方法作ったんだ。人間って素晴らしい！今までトルティーヤ作っているときに同じプロセスやっているの。知らなかった。この本読んでよかった、トウモロコシが特別の扱いのことが知らなかった。っていうか、普通の人が分からないとおもう。たとえ、何週間まえ終末論的な小説を読んで、そこの人がトルティーヤ作ったんだが、作者がこのことを知らなくて、皆無事食べたしなんの問題起こらなかった。
このひむか先生がようく調べたね。すごい。

I love this series!! It reminds me of apothecary diaries. I like that we learned more about Shoushin. I can’t lie I wasn’t expecting the child abuse in it ( it’s not graphic or anything more just mentioned in passing and I mean it was the times I guesss……???) But still ewwwyuckkk 🤮🤮

It was fine. I’m interested to see how corn tortillas are the key to solving this mystery sickness. I don’t think the bad guy’s backstory was very interesting, personally. 😅
