The Apothecary Diaries watch order covers two 24-episode seasons plus the Maomao no Hitorigoto shorts and the newest Season 3, so you can follow Maomao's palace mysteries in the correct order. Begin with the first season's Episodes 1-24, then watch the short recap-style Maomao no Hitorigoto before moving into the second season's Episodes 1-24. The Maomao no Hitorigoto 2nd Season shorts follow, and the run continues into Season 3 and its Part 2 as they release. The Hitorigoto shorts are light bonus recaps that sit best after their corresponding season rather than between the main episodes. If you are wondering where to start, begin at Episode 1 of the first season. This page keeps both full seasons, the ONA shorts, and the ongoing third season sequenced so you always know where each piece fits and can track your progress through the mystery-drama in the intended chronological order.
