As of writing, the light novel series has 14 volumes while the manga has 12 volumes, with more content planned in the future.

Where to Read The Apothecary Diaries Light Novel
You can read The Apothecary Diaries' light novel online on Bookmate, a subscription website that allows you to access novels for a monthly fee. If you want to check it out, it has a free trial to help you decide if it's for you.
BookWalker is also an option to get eBooks of most volumes of The Apothecary Diaries. The only possible downside is that you will need to pay for each volume individually.
However, this also means that you will then own the novels whether or not you stay subscribed.
Similarly, Amazon sells eBooks of all the volumes that have been translated so far.
You can then download them using the Kindle app and read them on your device of choice.
Even more good news! Square Enix has announced that it will release The Apothecary Diaries light novel volume 1 in English in May 2024.
Fans can look forward to the first volume's release which will include full-color art inserts and black-and-white illustrations.
Where to Read The Apothecary Diaries Manga Online
You can read The Apothecary Diaries manga via Manga Up!, Square Enix's manga website.
The first few chapters are available for free. You can read the rest exclusively in the app using coins. You get coins every day simply by waiting for your daily supply.
If you read manga often, though, you can also purchase them, as daily coins are probably insufficient for serious bookworms.
Generally, this isn't considered to be the most cost-effective manga app since you pay per chapter rather than per volume.
Therefore, weigh the pros and cons and decide if getting eBooks of each volume is a better option for you.
Similarly to the light novel, you can get The Apothecary Diaries manga online via several retailers selling manga eBooks.
While the manga isn't available on BookWalker, you can still get the translated volumes on Amazon or Rakuten Kobo and download them on most devices.
