This version is interesting. But I definitely like the other one better. The subtle differences in suspense building through scene selection are evident. I feel the other one says a lot more by saying less. I also prefer the other's art style. I'll probably still read both because we all need more MaoMao in our lives.

so far the story is pretty much the exact same, more details on some parts less on others, typical of an alt release...but I gotta admit, I prefer the art style of the original over this, and being used to the original, the name changes feel weird

The tl doesn't even "do" subtlety and just outright calls him dickless instead of eunuch. I love it.

Ehi, no group, you are great you know? Thanks a lot for picking this version!
As for others anyway I prefer by a looong way the first version on mangadex. It must be a sort of imprinting 😁 no seriously I think it's better

Whoa to think that a work could get so popular to have TWO MANGA VERSIONS GOING ON AT THE SAME TIME?!?!!!!! Wowza

Thank you for translating! In general, I like the details in the art of the other version more, but I like how Maomao looks in this version more. The other version of Maomao looks too cute while this version fits her character more, I think.

Why would there be two different takes on same LN?

Thanks for the chapter. By the way.... which name is the right one between this and the other? kinda confused because I used to the name from the other one

i'll be honest, i prefer the art of the BG version. it's cleaner, sharper, and I think the shapes of the people are more varied and pleasing. but i agree that I think this maomao's design fits her character more than the other one---she looks insanely adorable, round, and cute like a mascot lol

thank you for picking this up!! i'm very excited to read more kusuriya content ^w^

Thank you for the TL! I have to say I also like the art style for this one more, the other one is cute but a bit too moe sometimes for me (especially when it comes to Maomao), so this is a fresh look ^^

Now that is a stank face, and I agree with your TL decision re:names! For a manga set in China, I do think that the romanizations should be more in line with actual pinyin.

calling her just 'apothecary' sounds a bit weird. maybe 'apothecary girl' or 'medicine girl' (instead of the typical medicine man).

Ty for picking up this version of the series!
