There is no nudity or sex. It is a background theme in the story, but it’s not about the prostitution. It mostly about the apothecary using their knowledge and figuring out situations. |
Note: I don’t lazily watch 3-5 episodes, biasedly compare to other anime, or unfairly judge by surface level similarities. With every anime I start, I watch the entire series, both Japanese Sub & English Dub, then judge each anime based on what they present, to give an honest and fair rating.  |

| Not at all, actually. It's not a field beeing discussed in depth, or with a theme/message in mind. They're just portrayed as the most beautiful, most popular girls - everyone knows. They DO get some screentime, but it doesn't matter that their prostitutes, really. It doesn't focus on their dayli life, problems or feelings. They're always happy and their main reason why they're in this story is to be big sisters to MaoMao. tragedydesu said: that theme just make me feel so uncomfortable even if its not explicit we all know what they are doing behind the scenes It's actually made for you, I think. If you're this sensitive then don't worry: Cause everything is so lighthearted and surface level, with that. |

This post HAS to be bait, why ask about how relevant prostitution is in this anime if you are going to reject anything that has this theme anyway? |
| It is quite off putting for me personally too. It’s not the main thing in the show but overall it is a bad theme that you just have to deal with. |
 |
| MaoMao frequently associates herself with courtesans from local brothel near which she grew up. That's about it. |
 |
| It’s a pervasive theme but there’s nothing explicit at all. If you’re uncomfortable at the concept itself, then I can see you not jiving with the show. But it’s fairly background, so if you can bring yourself to put up with it, it’s a. Weh good show waiting for you. |

| @tragedydesu I think you should still give it a try. as courtesans of their value rarely slept with their clients. and no, it's not most of the side heroins, I'd say not even half. This anime really is worth watching, and you can drop it later if it bothers you. |

| Bro can't handle prostitution as a minor (non-explicit) theme. Someone is sexually repressed. |
| If you reply back to me and I never respond, I lost interest and don't care. Sorry about that. |
| @StrickenDeal yeah we are in the minority , looks like the majority have no problem with this theme , i pretty much can handle all themes except rape/prostitution there is some few rude comments but the majority are kind/respectful @LostSpectre i have no problem with sex in my stories , some of my favorite manga have sex scenes i even read visuals novels who have plenty of it my problem is with prostitution, knowing this beautiful women are sleeping with random dudes regularly makes me feel depressed and disgusted inside |

| @tragedydesu Sorry, but you're not exactly convincing me to change my mind here. |
