@starrymoon194 slightly lower xD.

And even if hes 19 and shes 17. There are maybe 2 countrys in the world where this would be illegal. The US of A being one of them...

19 and 17 year olds can date legally in the U.S. it’s called the Romeo and Juliet law, where someone over the age of 18 can date a minor 3 years younger than them.

I don't care they have similiar age. Maomao and Jinshi look like a child and an adult man. It's disgusting. If there is a series that didn't need a romance plot is this one. Or at least make Maomao look older even if she stays short. Other techniques could be aplied on her design to convey that

Nothing more disgusting than a people like you who treat short people like children and act like they can’t be in relationships

@Chumz101 And what does it matter whether this scene is or isn't in the anime yet since I know what's going to happen?

@Chumz101 But he got a point. Mao looks like a child, compared to Jinshi. In theory she's still almost a child but the anime makes her an unnecessarily bigger loli than she is. Just look at how she looks in the novel. She's always been small, but overall she looks more mature there and is simply bigger, looks better. In theory their age is ok, but it's impossible to look at them and not see this weird difference in anime.

@Jollyne7 she is small and does not have giant boobs.
There are a lot of 17 year olds who just look like that in rl.

How does it fucking matter how old she looks? What counts is the mental age.
Jinshi obviously didnt fell in love with her body, but with her character...

So funny how every anime girl who doesnt have giant boobs instantly looks like a child for you guys...

@Jollyne7 I kinda wish there was a like button here, cause I tink you deserve it. I agree with you. It's really not about boobs. Everything in Maomao looks way smaller in that scene. And of course her size matters, this work comes from Japan a place overflowing with pedos. It reminds me of another anime, Aharen-san wa Hakarenai. Both characters are high schoolers, but it looks like and adult and a child there too. It's disgusting

Wow, what an episode. First, I loved the plot in a whole. Now the story about Jinshi comes to a very interesting point and I am thrilled to see what and when he tells Maomao. Second, the whole scene(s) in the cave were sooo epic, lovely and tooo sweet. The blow came to me when the frog entered the scene and the excitement increased again. Now I am very hyped to see what's going on in the next episode... ;)

@kurooganeko She looks like a petite woman. Maybe you should go outside more but

1. She's 18
2. She's petite but not built like a child

If size matters everyone who dates a short girl (so many people under 5 foot 2 btw) are all pedos and should be locked up. Stupid anime fan logic as usual

This entire scene loses all its magic if you realise that nothing here is mutual.
At this point in time, she respects him as a hard worker and only cares about his health as an apothecary.
She'd rather be somewhere else and avoid this awkward moment.

They - especially Jinshi - need alot more character development before things can really advance.
He keeps touching her (and more) without consent and shes only willing to put up with it because of said respect, his status that makes her think she cant refuse and that hes coming up with rare medical ingredients.

Its nice fan-service to keep us engaged and not go insane because of the slow burn tho

Second half seriously felt like it came out of some fanfic with all the cliches and stuff. Not gonna lie, it was kinda underwhelming considering the kind of show we are talking about.
Also, the potential romance between Xiaomao and Jinshi is like the last thing I care about in this show so aside from the assassination attempt, this episode felt flat to me.

The words from Lady Anshi, and the anticipation of Jinshi's expedition for a hunting trip with Shishou, he wouldn't have it other way to have Maomao go along with him, though Gyokuyou's trusty taster will be out for awhile. Gaoshun being invited is also normal, but his family having served Kousen's family for generations to be placed in the same building, their secret will be out soon anyways. Of course, having Maomao along as a taster is tantamount, though Jinshi telling her that he would not eat the food presented to him, Basen sure took a beating out of mere alcohol.

Onto the hunt, and even Lihaku bring brought in to take care of dogs, yeap it's a dog-care-dog premise alright. But Jinshi clearly showing signs of dizziness, and the suddenness of an assassination from the attack using the feifa gun that brings him and Maomao under the cliff of a waterfall, both have to tend to their own clothings to dry up for the moment after reviving her through CPR. On top of Jinshi having a near fever, Maomao feeling hungry is normal, and finding the way out is not as simple as it looks, with only an opening to try and get one of them out as soon as possible.

OH welp...if not for that frog though, which creates the perfect opportunity for Jinshi to tell Maomao who he actually is.

I don't fully understand what's happening here. Jinshi got invited to this sort of hunting meet and he agreed to come but refuses to eat or drink anything and he covers his face so I assume he's aware that there's a plot to assassinate him, he wasn't even surprised a bit when they got shot. So, why come? Why bring Maomao?

MAOMAO AND JINSHI STANS WE WON. Lives were fucking changed today omg, what an ending. This is already shaping up to be one of my fave Kusuriya arcs.

Classic trap set up with Jinshi being summoned to the northern lands for a hunting game. Kinda giving game of thrones and what better way to take out a political rival than under the guise of a “hunting accident” question is, will it be as obvious as it being Lord Shishou or is someone else talking advantage of the opportunity 🤔 either way, Jinshi clearly knew something was probably gonna happen which is why he invited Maomao aka the person he can rely on the most to save his life lol

Ended up being the other way around at least at the start of this arc with Jinshi having to do CPR on Maomao and save her from the assassins. The tension in that cave could be cut with a knife man I’m telling you, they’re so cute. I knew there was no way Jinshi was gonna let that opportunity pass without trying SOMETHING. That ending scene is so spicy omg. Is it gonna be a bait and switch ala Jinshi hearing something and just wanting to keep Maomao down OR is he actually finally gonna make his move following the advice of his mom last episode 🤔 either way, need next week ep BADLY.

I didn’t realize how small and delicate Maomao was until this episode either. She really is so precious and it’s such a cute contrast with Jinshi’s height and build 😍
