Maomao no Hitorigoto

Maomao has a habit of noticing details other people overlook. Together with Jinshi, she turns objects and customs encountered around the rear palace into brief lessons, explaining such things as cosmetics, medicines, poisons, plants, and the practical knowledge hidden behind seemingly ordinary items.

Her explanations carry the same dry curiosity that guides her investigations: anything can become interesting once Maomao starts asking what it contains, what it does to the body, and whether it might be dangerous.
