"* Based on a fantasy shoujo light novel series written by Tachibana Yuka and illustrated by Shuri Yasuyuki.

Sei, a 20-year-old office worker, is whisked away to a whole new world. Unfortunately for Sei, the ritual that summoned her—meant to produce a "Saint" who would banish the dark magic—brought two people over instead of one. And everyone prefers the second girl over Sei?! But this is just fine by Sei, who leaves the royal palace to set up shop making potions and cosmetics with her newfound magic. Business is booming, and this might not be such a bad life, after all...as long as her supposed Sainthood doesn't come back to haunt her.

Our main lady was transported to an alternate world where her new occupation, after being passed over for being a saint and no way home, is to make potions with a little extra kick. I'm guessing this is a reverse harem show, but it is very pleasant in a quaint way like the beginning of Ascendance of a Bookworm. The overall tone is very gentle, and little is bound to jar you, but it is a nice little respite from all of the grim dark murder-thons this season. I hope the rude red-headed prince isn't a romantic interest/candidate down the like, as his character is jarringly pushy compared to the other male leads, but his character design suggests so...

It is a bit silly to me that no one in this world ever thought to use herbs in cooking, but I can forgive that if Sei gets to wife it up a little bit more.
