SynopsisIt starts with poisonous herbs under the cradle. Then under the sheets. And inside the clothes. Even mixed in the milk that they feed the newborn. This way the child gradually gets used to poisons and becomes the perfect assassination tool - the “Poison Princess” whose every kiss, tear and even touch bring death. Her only chance of survival is to fulfill her duty as an assassin and find a way to live on in the enemy land she is sent to… if her heart is strong enough.

Story
Great idea for a josei. The heroine's body is saturated with poison, preventing her from ever being with anyone she loves. Her mission is to kill the king of an enemy country, but he seems to be a decent ruler and his handsome sons further complicate the plot. It has horror elements, including her best friend being burned alive and the suffering she went through eating poison as a child.
Art
Beautiful art. The costumes are elaborate and the character designs are all distinctive. For once it's easy to tell all the characters apart.
Character
The heroine is compassionate and conflicted. She was the "crybaby" back home but is resolved to fulfill her mission and survive. Not enough of the manga is out yet to comment on the other characters.
Enjoyment
Dark, but very enjoyable. Great for anyone who wants a slightly more mature story.
Overall
This is a really great idea for a manga. I'm excited to see where the author takes it. read more

Both mangas have main characters whose bodies are so saturated with poison that they have become assassination tools in themselves. However, Dokuhime is dark and twisted, while Apothecarius Argentum is lighter and "more shoujo"
Both involve characters who were raised to have poisonous bodies. The differences are that Apothecarius Argentum isn't as dark, and the character who does have such a body chose to be an apothecary despite his condition.

Both have a dark feel to them, and are by the same author. Shigeshoushi is more realistic and has more romance.
