The description really doesn't do this story justice. It's not particularly focused on that at all. A better description would be that Sei, the main character, is summoned to a new world of magic she can't leave. She ends up finding a place with the magical herbal researchers on the outskirts of the palace, attracting the attention of a handsome man she saves, and learns more about magic, transforming the field with her knowledge from her own world and her magical strength.

I LOVE this manga to bits. Why? Ohoho. Let me tell you. The story line is so cute and engaging. It's a fluffy story that has good dynamics. Since there's magic involved, the rules for magic actually make sense. The story has minor twists and fun surprises that keep you engaged. The characters are lovable and they're all so sweet. Like it's hard not to dislike them at all because they're human. They have their downs, sure, but they're relatable. The art is super cute and adorable. It's a beautiful mix of fantasy, medival, and magic. Also the main character so super relatable.  If your looking for a cute manga to brighten your day, I would HIGHLY recommend this.

This manga probably doesn't work very well for a more mature audience."Sei", the protagonist is the perfect representation of what shoujo mangas in general, try to convey as the "perfect Japanese woman". She has no personality other than being kind, hardworking and low maintenance.The story develops for her to "shine" but in that unsatisfactory way where the protagonist is always pushed by other characters because she is "too modest to have ambition".I have nothing against a character without ambition, on the contrary, but I really hate it when the protagonist doesn't want to follow a path, but is forced to and everyone acts like it's beautiful and satisfying because she's getting recognition, but is a recognition she didn't want, in a pushy and forceful way.  She is just TOO passive. Everybody assumes she will help, even though she was summoned against her will and ignored, and guess what? She helps. Sometimes it seems like she's going to set limits... and then she ends up just going with the flow again. It's really frustrating this idea that she's "more like a saint" because she's passive. I don't really know how to explain this, but it's as if Japanese shoujo authors tried to convince you that the perfect woman doesn't want anything, doesn't complain about anything, and just accepts everything with a smile. It's similar when in josei, MC has to be chaste and not desire any contact or romance, like a doll without personality, which makes ML end up a bit rapey since she has to reject any contact to be considered pure. You can see more of the author's outdated thinking when the other girl who was summoned is seen as someone "less than saintly" because of the prince's actions. It seems that no one realizes that neither "Sei" nor the other girl had any obligation to help these people who basically kidnapped them. But they still think they have the right to judge. AND NO. This arrogance is not portrayed as arrogance, but as an absolutely common attitude, even from Sei's allies.I'm sure the other girl will end up being a villain, but as far as I read, she hadn't done anything wrong, but everyone was already complaining about her... She doesn't heal some soldiers, but that's because the prince didn't want to take her.She goes to train in a forest to "level up" but considering that they want her to go face monsters, they are not doing more than their obligation, but they still complain that some soldiers had to go and take care of her. In the end, this is one of those mangas where the protagonist is generic, the people around her are annoying to anyone with a sense of justice, and the world is so uninspired that it hurts.
