On October 21, the anime “The Pharmacist’s Monologue” marked its second anniversary. TOHO Animation celebrated the milestone with a commemorative video and a slate of new details.
TOHO Animation has announced the release schedule for the third season of “The Pharmacist’s Monologue.” During the livestream held for the series’ second anniversary, the studio revealed that the first cour will premiere in October 2026, while the second cour is slated for April 2027.
