This is my first review so it will may not be as critical as other reviews but here we go. Story: Here we have yet another isekai (what a surprise), the difference is that we do not get to see the life Reiji had in the "real world" until almost the end of the anime. And when that happens it just tell us that he appeared in the new world and that's it, no further context is added on to what lead him to appear on that new world. As the title of the anime suggests, it just a guy living a slow life managing adrugstore, making potions and such, there is nothing that leads to a significant story, he just creates potions. Also, there is no romance but some of the characters show feelings for Reiji and that's all, do not expect much more. (5/10)

Art: Art is pretty not gonna lie, the scenarios are beautiful and do not feel empty at all. The colors are vibrant and make everything feel and looks happy. The character design is good and they are well drawn. This part is the highest scoring part on the anime. (8/10)

Sound: The OST is nice, both the intro and outro are beautiful, it uses music when it is necessary and it do not feel weird. Ambient sound is meh but hey, I have seen worst animes with worse ambient sounds and music. (7/10)

Characters: There is good and there is bad. However, Noera is the character that carries the show by being too cute to exists. It feels like they put much more effort into Noera that the other characters of the show. (6/10)

Enjoyment: Overall it is a slow anime and can get boring at times. It is a good anime if you don't have anything else to do and want to burn some time away by watching something. I think kids will probably enjoy this show more than adults. (6/10)

Overall score: 6/10.

The market is getting flooded with isekais both good and bad but unfortunately there are more bad isekais than good isekais... By any means I say I hate them but animation companies should slow down the isekai fever a little bit for a while...
