5 historical anime to watch if you love The Apothecary Diaries

Spice and Wolf

The story of Spice and Wolf, which is set in a medieval setting, centers on a traveling trader and a shrewd wolf deity named Holo who represents wit and intelligence. The series explores politics, economics, and a hint of romance against a masterfully rendered historical backdrop. Jū Ayakura is the illustrator for this Japanese light novel series, which was written by Isuna Hasekura.

Young Black Jack

The 2015 anime series Young Black Jack, created by Tezuka Productions, is a prequel to the beloved manga Black Jack by Osamu Tezuka. In the midst of student uprisings, war, and social unrest, the narrative follows Kuroo Hazama, a gifted but unlicensed medical student in 1960s Japan, as he negotiates difficult procedures and moral conundrums.

Gosick

The light novel series of the same name, written by Kazuki Sakuraba and illustrated by Hinata Takeda, served as the inspiration for the Japanese anime television series Gosick. A hypothetical European nation in the early 20th century serves as the setting for Gosick, which combines mystery and history.

This anime, which is set in Sengoku Japan, is about a tea master who is fixated on ambition, beauty, and battle. It offers an insightful exploration of Japanese culture, much like Apothecary Diaries does for customs with Chinese influences. However, the anime centers on Furuta Sasuke, a samurai who is fixated with tea ceremonies, art, and aesthetic beauty, rather than a ferocious warrior or shogun.

Emma: A Victorian Romance

Emma is about a kind and elegant maid who works for a retired governess in Victorian London in the 19th century. She meets William Jones, a good-hearted young man from a prosperous merchant family, and their relationship upends her peaceful existence. The manga has been made by Kaoru Mori.

These five anime are the ideal starting point if you're prepared to add more series with deep stories and historical settings to your watchlist!
