REVIEW | "Parallel World Pharmacy" - Vol. 1 | B3 - Boston Bastard Brigade

Working in a pharmacy can be a hassle. You’re on your feet all day filling prescriptions non-stop, on top of dealing with ungrateful customers who take out all their frustrations on you. Well…it could be worse. Imagine living in the dark ages, where modern medicine wasn’t even a thing! This is what Parallel World Pharmacy brings to the table, as present-day medical procedures comes to a place where even the chicken pox can still kill you!

Adapted from Liz Takeyama’s light novels by Sei Takano, Parallel World Pharmacy brings Professor Kanji Yakutani to a medicine-less world. Yakutani dies from over-exhaustion, and wakes up in the body of Farma de Médicis, a noble pharmacist’s son. The professor takes over Farma’s body after the young lad was struck by lightning, which causes some strange markings on his upper arms and shoulders. But according to the family maid Charlotte, those scars are the Holy Mark of Panactheos, the medicine god.

After getting a good & thorough rundown from Charlotte, Farma (we’ll stick with the new name from here-on out) discovers the kinds of skills that he can perform. From creating water to other objects, his abilities take his private tutor Eléonore by surprise. Because of his range of skills, Eléonore begins to question what kind of person Farma has now become. After all, if you’re able to contain unlimited power and lack a shadow, you’d probably be considered a threat rather than a gifted individual.

It’s in this moment where Parallel World Pharmacy begins to show its true colors. Although it begins in the average isekai way, the moment Farma and Eléonore start to bond over his new discovery is when the narrative starts to get better. Once Farma discovers his ability to find people’s ailments and possible cures, the story goes all-in with the science behind these medical miracles. How Farma comes up with these solutions reminds me a lot of Senku in Dr. STONE, albeit with more magic.
