Weekly recommendations is a post I publish each Friday where I recommend three different kinds of entertainment. These can include anime, comics, books, movies, video games, and other similar forms of media. They might also vary in intended audience, release date, genre, and theme.

She uses her skills as a pharmacist she learned while growing up in the red-light district to help the emperor’s two young children when she finds out they are ill.
