Written by Ross Locksley on 25 Apr 2023
Some news from our friends at One Peace Books - The hit anime Parallel World Pharmacy is arriving in long-awaited manga form in English on 30th May.
What would happen if a modern pharmacist prodigy decided to rescue a world of swords and magic from its own medical malpractices? After a determined pharmaceuticals researcher dies of overwork, he awakens in the body of young Farma, son of the court physician—and magic, action, humor, and rock-solid science ensue!
Parallel World Pharmacy is beloved for its unique concoction of light-hearted adventure, medieval medical maladies, and expert scientific solutions, with real physicians and pharmacists joining the editorial staff for the series. After last year’s anime release, it’s the perfect time to dive deep into Farma’s fantastical rise to pharmaceutical fame, with detailed drawings by Sei Takano and a sharply scientific translation by Kristi Iwashiro.
The book will be available digitally and in print from good bookshops.
If you fancy trying the anime, it's currently streaming on Crunchyroll.
