Comment from Aoi Yuuki, who plays Nekoneko
Finally, finally, finally! An apothecary's soliloquy will become a TV anime!
This work has already been loved in various ways because the characters and the story are really attractive,
I have been eagerly awaiting to see how wonderful it would be if the glamorous stage of the back palace were to be made into an anime.
I am sure that the beautiful world will not disappoint everyone's expectations.
I would like to play the role of Neko Neko, who lives a robust life with her feet firmly planted on the ground amidst such glamour.
Please look forward to it!
