With the ring of cute girl kidnappers brought to justice, their captives share tearful reunions with their families… except for the tragic Layette, to whom no guardian appears. It proves too much for Kaoru, who declares that she’ll take the girl without a second thought. And so their journey continues to the Kingdom of Jusral, where Kaoru finally gets the chance to put her potion powers to good use and open the atelier of her dreams. Her plan this time is to keep a low profile… but her products might scratch more of an itch with her customers than she bargained for! It doesn’t take long before Kaoru’s mundane medicines are under threat of monopoly by everyone from army brass to noble bigwigs. Kaoru would much rather find a husband or set a good example for the local orphans, but she’s got rent due first! Or does she? Will Kaoru continue to survive? Scratch that, will someone buy her skincare routine already???

Hello Everyone. This is really a series review for volumes 1-6. And it's 3-stars across the board.
It isn't bad. It is kinda fun, has some good moments, some dull moments, and some in-between. To me is seems that there is an awful lot left out from the source material (the light novels). I haven't read any of them... and sadly, I am not nearly so interested in them as I once was. While they might be better than the manga, I found myself not all that interested in the world the manga created so even if there is more of it, if I am not that interested to begin with why would I want more?
I read 6 volumes because that's why my library has. I'm not in any rush to go get or seek out more. If the library gets more and my to read list is light maybe I'll pick up more, but I'm pretty content to let this one go.
It isn't awful, it just just not catch my interest all that much. Your mileage may vary.
Kaoru adopts a leftover child and now she has a little sister... and they all immediately skip town because Kaoru drew too much attention. On to the next town... where Kaoru whips out the potions barely 5 minutes in and time to flee the mobs again.
Another town, another try... and Kaoru opens a shop that sells minor cures (think Tylenol and Pepto type stuff) and draws attention because... of her athlete's foot remedies. She also ends up gaining another gang of orphans. But, what ho! Some greedy noble is trying to weasel in on Kaoru's business and- and... and Kaoru easily gets the better of him, problem solved, back to business, until Kaoru's ability to understand ANY language gets her noticed.
This series has ZERO consequences for the main character. Any problem, she's uber smart and can talk her way out of it, or she has a cheat potion skill that solves it for her, or she just ditches town to repeat the same plot somewhere else.
