Fan Calculates Jinshi Frog Size
The long-awaited episode of The Apothecary Diaries that introduces the “frog” meme has finally aired! Now, those who have never read the light novel or manga finally understand why fans of the series love to mention “frog.”
The situation unfolds as follows: Maomao and Jinshi find themselves trapped in a cave. While attempting to escape, Maomao stumbles and falls on top of Jinshi after being startled by a frog.
As she lands on him, Maomao ends up touching him… well, there, if you get the hint. Up until this point in the story, Maomao had always believed that Jinshi was a eunuch (a eunuch is a man who has been castrated, as only eunuchs are allowed near the emperor’s women). This scene serves as the moment when Maomao realizes that Jinshi is not a eunuch!
When Jinshi tries to explain the truth, Maomao quickly deflects the situation, as her policy is: “the less I know, the better.” She interrupts him, saying that she simply “grabbed a frog.” And so, the “frog” meme was born, as fans now use “frog” to refer to Jinshi’s… well, you get it!
Fan Calculates Jinshi Frog Size
After the “frog” episode aired, the image above started circulating online, showing a fan’s attempt to calculate Jinshi frog size based on the limited information given in the series. If I’m not mistaken, I believe Momo even commented that she “thought it was big.”
The fan concluded that Jinshi’s frog size is above average, assuming no miscalculations were made.
