This anime feels more like fantasy. The main character, Reiji, who comes from another world, decides to open a drugstore. Uniquely, in this anime, the customers are not only ordinary humans but also ghosts, monsters, and even demon kings. The concept is quite refreshing among the recommended anime about pharmacists. Although Reiji's process of making medicine is different from other anime that will be discussed, it can be a great learning experience. The products offered in his drugstore are diverse, ranging from energy potions, perfumes, cleansing potions, pesticides, etc. Another attraction of this anime is that the main character often translates fantasy requests into more logical ones. For example, a request for a potion to become great at archery is directed towards a stamina recovery potion so that the customer can continue training.
