Maomao isn’t thrilled to be in a higher paying position with more of her pay going back to the kidnappers, but quickly changes her tune when she realises the position means she has more free time to practise medicine again! Maomao lives her days peacefully, going about her duties, that is until she finds herself solving the mystery behind some of the consorts and their offspring falling ill.Īfterwards, she’s picked up by the head eunuch, Jinshi, who has noticed Maomao’s abilities with medicine and feels she would be better suited to working as a food taster under the Emperor’s favourite consort. The story follows Maomao, a young woman who is trained as an apothecary but is working as a servant in the inner court of the imperial palace (a place where the emperor’s consorts and servants live) after being kidnapped from her home. However things are starting to change for the better there and an early indicator is the new series The Apothecary Diaries, a new manga from Square Enix Manga based on a popular light novel series.

I analyse the power in terms of such features as mass, scale, material, sound, air quality and so on. The religious explanation for this power has often invoked God in the creative process. As an atheist, I can't believe in the supernatural explanations for the greatness of religious architecture. My starting point is that a great many religious buildings are powerful works of architecture: even committed atheists like myself recognise that many cathedrals, mosques, temples and churches are extremely successful and beguiling as buildings. "I am conscious that the phrase "temple for atheists" has had the power to annoy a great many good and clever people – and because my idea is as I conceive it inherently non-contentious, it's clear that I must have explained it extremely badly, for which I'm sorry. |
