TOHO animation's official YouTube channel has started streaming an anime version music video for "Kusushiki," the second opening theme for the ongoing The Apothecary Diaries Season 2 TV anime performed by the three-member Japanese rock band Mrs. GREEN APPLE . While the song's original music video was set in a fictional world that was depicted entirely in full CG, this anime music video not only depicts the relationship between Maomao and Jinshi, and the key character in the story, Shisui, but also consists of memorable "love"-themed scenes that have appeared in the story.
