https://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/hotaru_no_yomeiri/ Literally this
Girl thats literally firefly wedding that i mentioned
Manhwa and not heavy but
Concubine Scandal
yatagarasu!! its so underrated and similar to apothecary diaries imo its about mystery solving and the mc is so loveable!! (▰˘◡˘▰)
kijin gentosho is also pretty similar to demon slayer i would give that a try!
Ok so. The anime “ Yatagarasu : The Raven Does Not Choose Its Master” is very good. if you don’t mind, it has a fantasy historical setting with inspiration from the inner court culture of imperial China (and sometimes Heian-era Japan). It’s kinda like apothecary diaries in that way. Great female mc.
If you don’t mind 2000s art, the anime “ Story of Saiunkoku,” is directly modelled after Tang–Ming dynasty China. It has all the things from inner court politics and a headfast, politically charged and smart fmc.
the anime “ Raven of the Inner Palace ,” is more modern and is definitely more fantasy with ghosts and such, it’s a fictional world but it takes a lot of inspiration from classical Chinese imperial court structure
Oh mine are all anime…I think they all have mangas
Oh I thought you meant you listed that as like a vibe type thing a manga that has that feel. Idk the English title so yeah
Can ya'll recommend some mangas with apothecary diaries, demon slayer and firefly wedding vibes? Like it should have components of inner court or oiran type shi. Shouldn't be too old tho cuz the artstyle gets bad
