The Apothecary Diaries has launched a summer collaboration with Shionogi Healthcare's Linderon Vs series. Two new web commercials feature Maomao and Jinshi explaining proper use of the steroid ointment. Purchasing select products and answering a quiz enters fans into a prize draw for original goods, including a medicine bag pouch and character caps. The campaign runs through August 31. The anime's third season begins in October 2026, with a film following in December.
The web CM, titled "Midsummer Skin Mystery," consists of two parts: one about insect bites and one about proper application. Maomao and Jinshi voice the explanations. The campaign requires purchasing any of the Linderon Vs products (ointments, creams, lotions) and uploading a receipt after answering a quiz. All participants receive an original smartphone wallpaper. 100 winners will receive either a medicine bag pouch or a chibi character cap featuring Maomao or Jinshi. The collaboration runs until August 31. The Apothecary Diaries third season is set for October 2026, and the film "The Apothecary Diaries: The Secret Treasure of the Deceased Empress" opens December 11.
