Drug Store in Another World - The Slow Life of a Cheat Pharmacist
チート薬師のスローライフ～異世界に作ろうドラッグストア～• Cheat Kusushi no Slow Life: Isekai ni Tsukurou Drugstore
Synopsis
Reiji Kirio was a corporate wage slave, who did nothing but work all day, every day. On a typical day of walking to work with a hollow look on his face, he suddenly found himself in the forest of another world. "Oh, this must be one of those isekai reincarnations people keep talking about." The two skills he has are "Appraise" and "Drug Discovery." Those don't sound too impressive... well, whatever. Except these turn out to be particularly overpowered skills! He's able to produce the healing medicines that were sorely lacking in the world, one after another, leading to an overnight fortune. No one will ever force him to work like a slave again! He decides to adopt a deliberately slow life, and opens a drug store. And so, a story about following the slow life philosophy while running a drugstore in another world begins.(Source: Crunchyroll)
