I SHALL SURVIVE USING POTIONS GN (2025)

Let's say you're way too smart, good-looking, and overpowered for your new world. Do you become a grand mage? Or do you play it cool like Kaoru: waiting tables, running an advice booth, cleaning up after absent-minded adventurers, and running a secret society of do-gooders on the side? Life may seem sweet when most solutions are just a potion away, but that doesn't mean it's easy. After all, you can't really drink away a menagerie of marriage-minded nobles...

Sometimes, you just can't help yourself. And if that means showing up kingdom after kingdom of nobles, well, it's even better! Or so Kaoru thinks, as she establishes herself as a divine messenger. But as word of her potions and abilities spread, so too does the threat of war and external involvement. As old faces return for another piece of the action and new threats emerge across the continent, can the Eyes of the  Goddess keep their benefactor safe from harm?

Kaoru thought she could save everybody, but no plan survives contact with the enemy. The Aligot Empire is on the march, and she's right in their path! Hemmed in by geography, the Empire invades neighboring Balmore, looking to secure a path for future expansion, as well as the Angel of the Goddess and her magical healing potions. But Kaoru, despite claiming to want a peaceful life, has no intention of letting this sort of thing slide. Alongside her loyal followers, she's going to use her potion powers to make this invasion a nightmare for the aggressors - and maybe even uncover a sinister conspiracy involving the clergy of the Goddess Celestine along the way.

The war between Aligot and Balmore is over, thanks to Kaoru, but now comes the hard part: the peace talks. The Holy Land of Rueda, one of the conflict's major instigators, is dead-set on causing as much trouble as possible for everyone. Even if Kaoru can handle all that nonsense, she still has her main mission to consider: spreading the Nagase family genes in this new world. To do that, she'll venture far and wide, reuniting with old friends and making new enemies along the way, including a group of kidnappers who exclusively target cute girls!

"With the ring of cute girl kidnappers brought to justice, their captives share tearful reunions with their families except for the tragic Layette. It's too much for Kaoru, who declares that she'll take the girl in without a second thought. Their journey continues to the Kingdom of Jusral, where Kaoru finally gets the chance to put her potion powers to good use, open the workshop of her dreams, and maybe keep her head down this time but her products may leave her customers more satisfied than she bargained for! It doesn't take long before everyone from army brass to noble bigwigs have their sights set on her formulae!"

Business is booming at Kaoru's brand new drugstore...or is it a deli? Whether she's behind the counter with Layette or on a treasure-hunting house call, Kaoru's got no end of opportunities to put her divine potion-making gift to work, but curing the headaches of inter-industry intrigue may require a subtler approach. When rumors of a deadly disease make their way to her doorstep, our miracle medicine-maker prepares to provide the panacea for this public health crisis. Even in the middle of an epidemic, she'll keep surviving!

With the mysterious outbreak stopped at its source, Kaoru sighs in relief at the many lives she's saved-but her only reward is a return to a wanderer's rough-and-tumble life... and the smorgasbord of seafood the next city over! Her next business venture sounds like the perfect palate cleanser, but the laws of supply and demand have an inconvenient turn in store. Kaoru will keep on surviving... for sushi!
