The Apothecary Diaries Reveals New Halloween 2026 Visual Featuring Lahan and Rikuson

The Apothecary Diaries has unveiled a new Halloween-themed illustration featuring Lahan and Rikuson, continuing the anime's three-day seasonal promotional campaign.

The second illustration was released on October 30, 2026, as part of the Halloween 2026 project themed around a night of wizards.

Both characters appear in fantasy-inspired outfits, with Lahan holding a large book while swirling water surrounds his feet. Rikuson stands nearby with a crow resting on his hand.

The illustration is accompanied by a short voice drama featuring the two characters.

Toshiyuki Toyonaga reprises his role as Lahan, while Koki Uchiyama voices Rikuson.

The Halloween campaign began on October 29 with an illustration featuring Maomao and Chou-u. New artwork and short voice dramas are being released across three consecutive days.

The promotional project coincides with the ongoing third season of The Apothecary Diaries, which began airing in Japan on October 2, 2026.

The season follows Maomao and Jinshi as the story expands beyond the imperial palace and introduces new political and personal challenges.

The franchise is also preparing for its first theatrical anime film, The Apothecary Diaries: The Secret Treasure of the Late Consort, scheduled for Japanese release on December 11, 2026.

The latest Halloween release is a separate promotional project and does not represent an announcement of additional anime episodes or a new season.
