Plot Summary
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.

I like that she went straight to blatant cheating and just magically makes them however she wants without having to do any work.

So Kaoru is killed by accident thanks to god's recklessness and as such, she's given an ability she can use to survive in the new world, she chooses to be a master potionmaker much like a certain saint whose magical power is omnipotent. Of course, this show has a much different feel as it's more comedy-driven, and there were some good amount of funny humor to be found. Like Kaoru being able to say goodbye to her family and friends through dreams, and using Hannah in order to sneak out of a noble's mansion as while having meals and a place to stay is a good thing, she would rather open her own business and can't do it there. This is very much a type of show that Funa writes, and it does the job, but at the same time there's just better isekai shows out there that are more worth investing in than this.

I was initially turned off by the art style. It's slightly outside my normal limits. But the show grew on me. I'll give it at least a couple more episodes.

I read some of the LNs. But I don't remember the Isekai part at all. And from what I do remember; she's not Isekaid at all. And the cheating ability? I don't remember that at all, either. But disclaimer; I'm brain-damaged (5 concussions, 3 severe in an 18-month period...short term memory is crap) so take that all under advisement.

The art style is like something for little kids so I wasn't crazy about that. Some low level animation quality too.
It reminds me of the Saving for Retirement isekai. So I'm not expecting it to be any better than that until it proves itself otherwise.
Her being able to say goodbye to her friends and family was a nice touch. Hadn't seen that before. The scene with her family was way too lollipops and rainbows though.

At the beginning I thought this was going to be another video game show so I was glad it was a real isekai instead.

Yeah..."we'll never see you again, but since we assume you will be just fine wherever you go...that's fine" Kind of an odd way to think.
So far I actually like "Let Me Read the Walkthrough First" better.

And everybody loves Kaoru, so much that Kaoru herself can't seem to be left alone for a moment. She made potions from tears, and one of them healed the crown prince who is not the king because of his injury, but even so he doesn't want the throne. Kaoru is also a good cook and she has made a big name for herself. So much that she's getting a summon letter to the castle. Who knew that just making potions would get her all that attention? But she's making it big in the end.

It looked like it made her younger and thus back into prime marriage age.

@runec Objectively it made her shrink and start talking with a slightly different tone of voice.

Well I can understand why everyone thinks the mc is a little kid because they sure draw her that way. The problem is that every other female in this show, that's supposed to be around the same age, is drawn that way too. When that female knight drank the potion and got younger she looked pretty far below what you'd expect prime marriage age to be, even for a medieval society.

This episode goes to show that this is by the same person who did 80,000 Gold as Kaoru is looking to become part of a noble family, only that this time she's being sought rather than Kaoru looking to get adopted as she doesn't want to lose her freedom and privacy. So she orchestrates a plan where she shows up wearing her maid outfit under the impression that the price's attendant dropped off the dress and jewelry at the wrong house, and then giving her face a nasty gash wound to make her undesirable. Then she runs away, and bumps into a slum boy who is stealing to help out her ailing mother. Kaoru heals her under the pretence that she is a friend of Celestine's. This goes to show that Kaoru doesn't think highly of nobility and now she already escaped the clutches of two noble families.

She should have just started dropping cyanide in their stomachs the moment they came near her. Doesn't matter if you can hit that many at once it would give them pause if anyone that got near her just dropped dead.
They really made Fran a chump just to manufacture some drama there. Strong enough to take on the entire enemy platoon but someone somehow just slices through her sword. Then for some reason she just stops defending herself and lets herself get impaled.

I can't help but feel that everyone in this episode was inflating the size of their armies by a factor of 100.

@runec Laughter probably wasn't the response they were aiming for at the end there. But that's what the studio got from me.

So, she showed us the "what if Florence Nightingale went on a murder spree" scene.
Also "I brought you modern medicine, but I'm bored here, so I am taking it back, you'll just have to go back to medieval medice where any cold is 90% likely to kill you, you'll be fine"

Well, those bandits were underwhelming. They didn't even put anything in the washtubs they just dropped them on their heads. Which we've seen is barely enough to mildly hurt Kaoru but drops these guys like chumps. Then they just....dropped some burs on those guys and that takes them down? Nevermind the bamboo spears. I have taken numerous blows to the head from bamboo sticks between the ages of 7 and 9 without going down.

If they were *really* serious, they'd have brought out the banana peels and loose legos scattered on the ground.

I don't know why she's sticking to this find a husband plan when she's forever 16. She needs to ask the Goddess if she gave any dudes a 1000 year lifespan.

I thought this episode would be the plague episode and we'd maybe see an story arc over a couple of episodes. Instead we got another pointless one episode story where nothing of note happens.

@marklebid That would be more effective but perhaps filling the sky with explosions doesn't quite convey the Goddess's love.

Yup...seems like that's the entire plot. If she doesn't want anyone to know her powers...why did she ask for those powers to begin with? Obviously she's never going to find a husband if she's that scared of anyone finding out her powers and constantly runs away afterwards.
Like I said before too, just showing up with a panacea, then running off without giving them any guidance is probably going to leave them worse off...unless that panacea helps them stave off any sickness from then forward and can be inherited genetically...
I'll give it a 6/10 which is as Runec said, king of generous

Binged this over the weekend, the cutesy art style pretty much ruined this for me. I never got why all the women looked different from the men (almost as bad as Princess Principal) this need to look more like that other girl isekai where she makes healing potions. Pretty much a cheap knock off of that anyway. Also if ahe was so worried about her chest why didn't she just make a potion to give her bigger boobs? The potion container can be anything was a pretty lame cheat too. Oh well too bad.

@MenchiK1 Now now, just because the author didn't think about obvious things like why doesn't she just make a potion that ages her a few years after noticing she wasn't getting any older doesn't mean the writing is bad. <cough>

@runec I think this is actually addressed and Kaoru says that she doesn't want to cheat to make her body different.
Still dumb though.
