The official Twitter of publisher TO Books announced on Friday that an anime adaptation of Nozomu Koryuu's Okashi na Tensei (Sweet Reincarnation) light novel is in progress.

Koryuu began writing the slice of life fantasy series on the Shousetsuka ni Narou website in February 2015. TO Books began publishing the light novel with illustrations by Yasuyuki Shuri in October 2015. The 20th volume was released on May 10, with the 21st volume scheduled to ship on August 10.

Midori Tomizawa began drawing the manga adaptation with illustrations by Seriko Iida in December 2017 under the Comic Corona magazine. TO Books shipped the seventh volume last December, and the eighth volume's release is scheduled for August 16.

J-Novel Club has been digitally publishing the manga in English since November 2019, with the seventh volume scheduled to be released on October 10. The series has a cumulative 850,000 million copies of its light novel and manga volumes in circulation.

Synopsis
A promising pâtissier meets his demise and leaves the world without ever having achieved his dream of making the world's greatest pastry. But when he is given another chance, he reincarnates as nine-year-old Pastry Mille Morteln, determined to be successful this second time. His life would not be as sweet as his treats, though, as he encounters unfamiliar hardships in the magical world. To get one step closer to his lifelong desire, Pastry must learn how to fight, utilizing his confectionary knowledge and discovering magic along the way.

And another one, this time is a patissier. I'm 100% convince they are running out of (good) ideas

You will be surprised if you followed the LN community.

There is even a modern businesswoman.

I have not read the LN but a lot of people in the LN community are hyping this LN.

We currently have reincarnated as a sword, dragon, vending machine, henchman of demon lord, chef, sex worker, space mercenary. There is a lot of cooking isekai LNs.

Well, the number of isekai LNs are going down and romcom LNs are becoming more common.

I wonder how necessary it is to make a confectioner anime with fantasy elements, couldn't you make one in our world? no, I think they already exist and they sound just as boring as this

Confectionery anime already exists, not to mention that the author might simply not be interested in making such a work.

The variety of ideas can hardly serve as proof of their absence. Of course, only if you don't have bias.

now, i'm waiting for a carpenter isekai, a hairdresser isekai, and a cleaner isekai. Or, have we already got one?? 🤔

Well except for hairdresser there are such titles:
Carpenter - Inaka no Home Center Otoko no Jiyuu na Isekai Seikatsu
Cleaner - Kujonin & partly Kami-tachi ni Hirowareta Otoko (which already got an anime and a 2nd season on the way)

Sounds interesting, love these anime
Just askin tho
Is it a harem (for no reason) ?

I did a bit of research and looked it up on some other anime/manga database sites (Anime-planet, Anilist, Kitsu, Mangaupdates and Novelupdates) and there seems to be no such thing, though i haven't actually read the Light Novel or Manga so i can't be 100% sure but i still think it's safe to say that it has neither harem nor ecchi in it.

Just imagine if this got an anime, especially since it does have a plot.

Twitter would malfunction and then explode LMAO

Well, actually I've seen reviews of it on hardcore feminist resources. True, half of the review was filled with feminist ranting.

The Light Novel has 1 reader on MAL so popularity overseas is quite low

Finally another good looking isekai, will check this one out! ^-^

Another du*ass anime. Not watching for sure. Below 6 mal score confirm.

Nah, Isekai Yakkyoku has been doing good and i see this doing similar if picked up by a decent studio, this is the kind of isekai we need more of, not the usual degenerate ecchi and/or harem fantasies that keep being churned out en masses!

None of these type of Isekai are really reicarnation, they are more "mind and soul gets ported to another body" in another world, which (if I'm not wrong) Seirei Gensouki did first (?)
