Apothecarius Argentum (Japanese: 薬師アルジャン Hepburn: Yakushi Arujan) is a shōjo manga by Tomomi Yamashita, published in Akita Shoten's Princess Gold magazine and collected into nine volumes.[1][2] It was licensed in English by CMX Manga, who released volumes 1-8.[3][4] It is about a princess, Primula, and her bodyguard Argent.

Reception

Katherine Dacey describes Primula as being a modern, faux-independent Disney princess, but feels that the manga is overly flawed to be a guilty pleasure.[5] Connie C. regarded the manga as being one of her favourites, but felt that the seventh volume was not the best as it separated Primula and Argent.[6] Brigid Alverson describes the manga as being an enjoyable light read.[7]
