About Management of a Novice Alchemist

Meet Management of a Novice Alchemist (新米錬金術師の店舗経営), a fantasy and slice of life anime by ENGI (2022). Here is the premise in a nutshell. The setup: Orphaned Sarasa just graduated from the Royal Alchemist Academy, and that means her longed-for life of elegance and riches is close at hand! As a graduation gift, her teacher gifts her a house to set up shop — but Sarasa’s dilapidated new digs are beyond far-flung.

More of the story: What’s a novice alchemist to do when they're stuck in the middle of nowhere with a business to run and supplies to gather from a very perilous natural realm? Whether it’s facing down frightening fantasy creatures or finding creative ways to attract customers, Sarasa has her work cut out for her as she achieves her dream of becoming the greatest alchemist around!

In a fantasy series like this, world-building, magic systems and creature design set the tone. Voice work is led by Kanon Takao as Sarasa Feed and Hina Kino as Rorea. Think of it as a pick for fans of magic, kingdoms and invented worlds. The run is 12 episodes in total, so you know what you are signing up for.
