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 eleven volumes.[1][2] It was licensed in English by CMX Manga, who released the first eight volumes.[3][4] It is about a princess, Primula, and her bodyguard Argent.

Reception

Katherine Dacey of Pop Culture Shock 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. for the same outlet 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 from Graphic Novel Reporter described the manga as being an enjoyable light read.[7]
