Synopsis

Kaoru Nagase died unexpectedly while walking home from her office job one night, and she suddenly finds herself in front of a man dressed in white. The man introduces himself as God and apologizes for his mistake that resulted in her untimely demise, vowing to make it up to Kaoru by reincarnating her into another world. The next world's goddess, Celestine, reforms Kaoru's body and gives her all the concessions she asks for: the body she had when she was 15, the ability to make potions with effects of her choice, and a box with infinite storage space, to name a few.

But soon, Kaoru realizes that, despite being told otherwise, this new medieval world doesn't have much in the way of magic, causing her potions to be highly sought after by greedy nobles. However, by using knowledge from her previous life, she just might find a way to survive in this world using her potions.

Preliminary (47/? eps)

That was interesting. The quality of the chapters was like a wave. Would start to peak and then come down and repeat.

I'd say the Manga is the better version from what little chapters are out there.

Story seemed pretty good on not doing overly detailing things like in the last story i read " A Transmigration Vampire Would Like to Take a Nap" Funny enough they were both translated by the same person.

But while the story did have some rough waves with the quality. I can pretty much say that while we were getting dips. The overall story started lacking.

It soon ...

Preliminary (14/? eps)

Medicine to cure anything, or poison to kill an army. Potions can be a lot of fun.

Story: Unfortunately, the whole "potion" thing is a very small part of the story in the beginning. She's afraid to create them, since it's the most magic-like power in the world, which draws a lot of attention. But she stays strong, doing what she can to live a good life. A big part of the story is very calm and slow, "slice of life". When something happens, the girl creates potions to deal with it, and then she moves to another location. That is the formula for a couple ... of volumes. Until it's no longer possible to pretend to be normal.

In Sword Art Online, it's only about SAO for a very short time, then it changes to a broader topic. In Attack On Titan, it's only about "Titans" for a short while, then it grows into something else. See my point here? The potions in this story is an eye catcher, but it moves forward beyond that pretty early. If that is good or bad, that's up to you.

Art: The art is colorful and happy looking, but the cover seems a bit immature and silly compared to the story itself. I was put off, since the art did not make me wanna give it a chance. But when actually reading the story and seeing the childish protagonist doing something horrifying, that is an amazing mix of emotions for the readers. (kinda like "Made in Abyss")

Characters: A female main character is not too uncommon these days, Kaoru the Potion Maker is not exactly a ground breaking addition to the girl force. But, Kaoru being a tough girl that wants nothing more than an easy life, gives you an interesting read. She lacks any sex appeal being a 15 year old A-cup, she does not have a harem, nor is she super strong in battle. She's just a cool young woman that live for her own happiness.

Overall, this Author is used to writing stories with a Female Protagonist, and it's very well written. But it is "one of those stories" that you are getting sick and tired of by now. Does every Japanese person revive in a fantasy world? Seems like it. But due to the writing skill of the author, it was worth reading the first volume, and because of the interesting story I shall continue reading future volumes, probably.

+ Kaoru is very interesting, yet not exaggerated in any way
+ No Magic, even though it's a fantasy world, it's interesting
+ Good Author, experienced with female protagonists
+ "Our family's genes are gonna run rampant" (a joke from the book)
- A Sci-fi explanations about why she died. Hard to follow
- Potions are not a big part of the story early on

In the end of the day, this was just my opinion. A lot of you will be bored and move on to your beloved SAO and Overlord books, and that's fine. All I can say is that the girl, Kaoru, her Potions and the world she's in is not original but at least it's superior to many other similar works.
