On the official website for the TV anime adaptation of the novel series Isekai Yakkyoku (Alternate World Pharmacy) by Liz Takayama, the artists for the theme songs and the July premiere were announced.
Kaori Ishihara performs the opening song "Musō-teki Chronicle," while Little Black Dress performs the ending song "Haku'u."
Isekai Yakkyoku is based on a light novel written by Rizu Takayama and illustrated by keepout. The novel was originally published on the Shosetsuka ni Naro website but was later picked up by Media Factory's MF Bunko imprint in 2016. A manga adaptation by Sei Takano is currently serialized in ComicWalker magazine.
A young pharmacologist from Japan was so engrossed in his research that he died from overwork. However, he was reborn in another world as Pharma, the son of a renowned court pharmacist. Although this alternate world resembles Europe's past (around the medieval era), magic exists there. In this new world, Pharma has acquired unusual abilities that allow him to destroy and create various substances, as well as see people's illnesses.
He gets a second chance at life and finds more joy in living, but he cannot ignore the problems in the new world's medical practices. Given this opportunity, he decides to enjoy life more, yet he is troubled by the medical issues of this world—where treatments are often inadequate, and pharmacy guilds charge exorbitant prices, making it difficult for common people to afford proper medicine.
Using his unique powers, Pharma begins helping the sick. Eventually, he opens his own pharmacy to provide truly effective medicine at affordable prices for ordinary people. Drawing on knowledge from his past life, the pharmacologist starts developing drugs that do not yet exist in this alternate world.
