Well that was an anticlimatic reveal. I was hoping for more but instead it was this is one I cured earlier. The guild suck, I'm glad the ex guild member got a HEA. Big brother incoming. Can't wait.

A good volume, nothing new for me ad I've seen this part in the anime but still a solid read, looking forward to the next volume!

This is the earliest volume I could find after watching Isekai CVS... not that I specifically went out of my way to find this, haha, but I did see it in the store and figured I'd check it out.
The anime is pretty close to the manga (not sure how close it is to the light novel), so that's nice. On the whole, I can't think of a lot to comment, other than... I don't remember Marie's prescription including, um, suppositories. Heh.
The afterword is interesting, though—the artist consults with actual pharmacists (or, medical peer reviewers) for accuracy, and they have to change a number of things due to practices changing between the light novel and the manga adaptation. I think that's a good thing, like how the Animorphs book I read had errors that were corrected in the graphic novel! No good KNOWINGLY promoting outdated knowledge like the backwards conservative pharmaceutist guild that Farma is stepping all over!
(I do kind of cringe at Farma's name, like... imagine if he were a doctor named Dock. Ugh.)
A fun if not particularly challenging series, I think, other than the "I just want to do no harm" aspect. Not a great place to start for newcomers, though, unless you've at least seen the anime like I have.

Funny enough, the head priest is now my favorite character. I'd reread these books just for him.
