Kadokawa opened an official website for a television anime adaptation of Liz Takayama's Isekai Yakkyoku (Parallel World Pharmacy) light novel on Thursday, revealing a teaser visual (pictured).

Synopsis
After losing his little sister to an incurable disease, world-famous medical researcher Kanji Yakutani gave it his all to cure patients by dedicating his life to inventing new medicines. After working himself to death at the age of 31, the former pharmacist wakes up as a 10-year-old child whose body has been struck by lightning. He discovers that he has been reincarnated into a medieval world as Falma, a child of the respected De Médicis family.

In a world where divine arts—magic granted through blessings from guardian deities—exist, Falma realizes that his body is host to the guardian deity of medicine. The boy has been granted the mythical divine arts of creation and reduction as well as the ability to instantly diagnose illnesses in people's bodies.

He soon discovers the terrible state of medicine in this world: only nobles are able to afford medical care, which is ineffective at best and detrimental at worst. Using modern knowledge and his divine powers, Falma gradually makes a name for himself as a pharmacist despite his young age, even earning the recognition of the imperial court. When he finally acquires a proper pharmacy of his own, he sets out to pursue his goal of improving healthcare in the San Fleuve Empire and making it accessible to all. [Written by MAL Rewrite]

Takayama began writing the pharmacy-themed fantasy light novel on the Shousetsuka ni Narou website in July 2015. Kadokawa began publishing the title under its MF Books imprint with illustrations by keepout the following January. The seventh volume shipped in August 2019, with the eighth volume planned for release on July 21. Isekai Yakkyoku has a cumulative 2.3 million copies of its volumes in print.

Sei Takano began drawing a manga adaptation on the ComicWalker website in November 2016. Kadokawa released the sixth volume last September, with the seventh volume also scheduled for a July 21 release.

It's very generic, however the medicine angle interests me a bit. We'll give it a shot!

Been seeing quite the number of isekai involving medecine recently, but I guess this can be better than your usual power fantasy.

To be honest, I never thought that isekai anime would continue to be so popular that the trend is still going on in the industry.

Farmacies and drugstores seem to be the upcoming trend in Isekai.

Welp more isekai, ohhhhhhh boooooiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiieeeeee

At least this one sounds interesting cuz it's more catered towards the MC's subject of interest, like how Ascendance of a Bookworm was more catered around the MC's hobbies, therefore giving these isekai stories a good excuse to have their medicine/book "gimmicks" (though Bookworm was also good cuz of its worldbuilding)... and the manga adaptation of this light novel seems to have a few good reviews here on MAL... so there might be a chance that this one could actually be good. Maybe. I dunno. We'll see.

Maybe I'll look into the manga like I did for Bookworm before its anime came out.

The manga version was decently enjoyable. One of the few isekai I kept up with. So it's nice to see an anime version of this.

Everything that happens before the isekai seems an infinite times more interesting that what happened after the isekai. Hell, the stuff after the isekai could've still been interesting if he didn't get magic hax like every other protagonist. Do isekai even sell that well for this shit to still be going, almost 10 years since SAO lucked out and hit the jackpot?
