薬屋のひとりごと 3 [Kusuriya no Hitorigoto 3] by Nekokurage
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

A very funny volume. The joke on Jinshin was PERFECT. And Mao Mao, so utterly oblivious and sharp at the same time, solving murders, killing Jinshin, discovering her own obliviousness, only to double down on it just before she kills Jinshin again... well, she really is something special.

As a comedy, this is near-perfection. As a mystery, it's delightfully nerdy. As a historical romance piece, it's enlightening.

All told, it's great fun.
