In 2014, a novel was published that follows a high school girl who discovers she can create magical potions when she is transported to a fantastical realm.




Magica Infos, an animation studio, has revealed that they are creating a television adaptation of Akira Iwafune's Potions Will Save Me novel series. This "light anime" version will be shown in October.

Anime with a "lighter" art style require less resources for creation, hence reducing production expenses. Examples of such anime include Lockdown Zone: Level X, Maarui Kanojo to Zannen na Kareshi, Moriarty's Perfect Crime, With Vengeance, Sincerely, Your Broken Saintess.

Mikiko Furukawa will be in charge of directing the anime at IMAGICA Infos and Imageworks Studio. Studio KAIBA will assist with animation. Yūichi Imaizumi will handle sound direction, while bermei.inazawa will compose the music. Kazuya Takahashi will oversee production at IMAGICA Infos.

In this narrative, we follow Kaede, a typical high school student who is unexpectedly transported into a mystical realm inhabited by creatures such as beastkin, elves, and dragons. After spending the entire day wandering aimlessly in this unfamiliar environment, she discovers a peculiar book that enables her to concoct potions by collecting ingredients and reciting "Create." With this newfound ability, Kaede intends to utilize it in order to navigate her way through this strange world and eventually return to Japan.
