The MF Books 10th anniversary livestream event announced on Monday a television anime adaptation of Hisaya Amagishi's Madougushi Dahlia wa Utsumukanai: Kyou kara Jiyuu na Shokunin Life (Dahlia in Bloom: Crafting a Fresh Start with Magical Tools) light novel, revealing a teaser visual (pictured).

Synopsis
After dying of overwork in Japan, Dahlia is reborn into a world filled with magic. Raised by a master of magical toolmaking, she develops a passion for the craft and becomes engaged to her father's apprentice. Before her father can see her wed, however, he suddenly passes away. As if this weren't enough, on the day before their wedding, her fiancé announces that he's in love—but not with her!

Dahlia finally realizes she needs to live for herself. She vows to be her own woman from now on and devote herself to her craft, even if it's not quite the quiet life she was hoping for! From a chance encounter with a knight to starting her own company, there are challenges aplenty on the horizon. But this young craftswoman is no longer a shrinking violet—she's Dahlia, and she's ready to bloom. (Source: J-Novel Club)

The ex-fiance is still shitty though....

Ah yes, you cant have a woman centric story without the fiance being an absolute buffoon.

Well, to be precise, we can't have a woman centric story which includes engagement annulment without the fiance being an absolute buffoon. When engagement annulment is not involved however, there are surprisingly quite a number of decent MC's fiance out there.

But I get what your point. This kinda stories do sells though....

There's been a bunch of female-focused anime with good fiance over the last couple of years. But this was obviously a idealization, since these works were focused on hasubendo.

Dahlia~! Finally an adaptation. I like these kinda isekai stories, with strong, smart, and independent female MCs, like Rozemyne (Honzuki no Gekkokujo), Iris (Koushaku Reijo no Tashinami), Riza (Isekai de Cafe), Pryde (LastTame), Francesca (Akutou Ikka Mana Musume), Lily (Maid to Haha), etc. Especially the ones more on the RnD oriented ones, like Rozemyne, Riza, and Dahlia. On that note, Koushaku Reijo no Tashinami is one of the older isekai villainess one, why haven't we got an adaptation of that?

Swagernator said:
Oh, so this is one of those stories.

I mean, at least for once it's not about a villainess nor about royalty/nobility (Dahlia's dad is a commoner bestowed by a baron title, this means the title won't be inherited to her). The ex-fiance is still shitty though....

I've been reading so many isekai/fantasy manga lately. A side effect of that is that a lot of them end up getting anime adaptations lmao. I definitely read the manga adaptation of this story.
But damn there are so many stories where the fiancé ends up being complete trash lmao. Arranged marriages have a lot of drawbacks tbh.

If you want to read the ridiculous idealization of arranged marriages, where every pairing is made in heaven (or making things even worse in clumsy attempts to rationalize it), then read any manga or LN that tries to win at least some of the Nisekoi's popularity.

Haha, just a couple of hours ago I decided to look at the most popular or highly rated LN in the last couple of years and saw this title as well. Not my cup of tea, but it will be interesting to watch at least the first 3 episodes.

isekai & SOL? my cup of tea
