My library had this book in their small manga section, so I decided to check it out. It’s not bad, per se, but it’s very much a YA story. Fast paced, meant to hook readers with a plucky country doctor in a pseudo-historical fantasy realm. She’s a bit of a pick-me girl who looks like the moon goddess, and the story is trying to reel you in with a mystery, but there are better options for similar stories. 

3.5 stars.

I really enjoyed the character Koyou. A doctor that likes muscles is quite funny to read about.

D'un côté le prince héritier que l'une des courtisanes cherche à assassiner et de l'autre une jeune fille qui se revendique médecin. Mais pas apothicaire, non non, plus du côté chirurgien de la médecine.
Ce qui m'a le plus amusé c'est la découverte du "peuple" par le prince qui tombe de très haut (et disons qu'on va bien lui jouer des tours).
Pour le moment c'est mignon, de jolis dessins et l'intrigue se met en place tranquillement.

forcément on pense aux Carnets de l'Apothicaire. C'est un peu trop rapide, mais j'ai envie de lire la suite, alors ça mérite les 4 étoiles =)
(la série date de 2018 en VO!)
