Huh. Xiaolan's not the first character I'd think of for a spinoff, but after starting to watch Apothecary Diaries this year (and falling in love with it), I will take literally any scrap of content that will come up.

Itsuki Nanao doesn't draw the main manga but is listed under "Story" (manga#23731). Nekokurage does the drawings of that one.

Anyway, obviously more than happy for more Kusuriya! Very Happy

Right, Nanao-sensei's role is credited as "compilation" on Square Enix's English release of the main series; in practice I believe they do something like the initial storyboards (making the decision what scenes to adapt from the novels and how to arrange it all; one of the Japanese volumes had a special release with a booklet that included several of these sketched draft pages for one of the early chapters) while Nekokurage-sensei draws the final pages.
