A review by taun
The Alchemist Who Survived Now Dreams of a Quiet City Life Manga, Vol. 1 by Ox, Usata Nonohara, Guru Mizoguchi

4.0

Two hundred years have passed as the Alchemist lay in a state of suspended animation.

In a bid to survive the onslaught of monsters, Mariela casts a spell only to wake in a different era altogether. When she happens upon an indentured man, she makes a bargain. Siegmund keeps her secrets, helping her create the potions & build a new life.

But as one of the last alchemists, can Mariela truly have the quiet life she so desires?


A feel good fantasy with elements of alchemy, magic, a medieval inspired setting & the vague underpinnings of love. Everything I enjoy in a story.



Content Notes: Some illustrations of women are slightly revealing. Slight language & innuendos.
