Synopsis (from MyAnimeList):
Shoot for the stars! I'm going to be the country's number one alchemist!

When young girl Sarasa graduated from the Royal Alchemist Academy, her teacher gifted her a house for her to set up shop. Aiming to become a masterclass alchemist, she gathers materials herself, experiments and operates a business. In her very own atelier, Sarasa indulges in a slow and relaxed alchemist life!

Reason:
Stumbled across the anime, looked up the author, and realised it's the same author as To Another World... with Land Mines! So, of course, I had to watch a couple of episodes, just out of pure curiosity. Seems like a fun little show so far, a nice setup for CGDCT (Cute Girls Doing Cute Things), though with the added bonus of a humorously gory harvesting scene to spice things up, along with a strongly hinted side of yuri.

As always, though, I'd prefer to read the novel, thus the suggestion. Also, I've been enjoying the author's other work quite a bit (which I don't think I'm alone in), so I figure it's a decent bet that I'll enjoy this one as well.
