Title: Shinmai Renkinjutsushi no Tenpo Keiei / Management of a Novice Alchemist Author: Itsuki Mizuho Illustrator: Fuumi Genres: Adventure, Comedy, Fantasy, Slice of Life Translation: [CraneAnime Translations](https://translation.craneanime.xyz/novice-alchemist/) --- > After graduating from the Royal Alchemist Training School, which acknowledged nothing but ability, my master (teacher) gave me the right to open my own shop as a graduation present. After being sent off by my generous master, I, Sarasa, set out with a dream of having a slightly elegant life as an alchemist. But… As soon as I arrived at my destination, I was shocked. Because… I arrived in a ‘very rural’ area that was beyond my imagination. However, if I couldn’t run my shop in this place, I wouldn’t be able to make a living… --- NOTE: This is as far as the Web Novel goes. The LN version officially being translated by JNC has more content added to it (currently 7 volumes and ongoing in Japan). I couldn't for the life of me place the greyscale illustrations in volume 5. I feel like they all referenced scenes that do not exist in the WN. This was the case for many illustrations in the first volumes too. So v05 only has the colored inserts at the beginning.
