I Shall Survive Using Potions Anime’s 2nd Promo Video Previews Ending Theme Song

The official website for the television anime of FUNA‘s I Shall Survive Using Potions! (Potion-danomi de Ikinobimasu!) light novel series unveiled the second promotional video and key visual on Thursday. The video previews the ending theme song “Love is a potion” by cast members Haruki Iwata and Moeka Koizumi under their unit name harmoe.

The anime will premiere in October in the “Animazing!!!” programming block on ABC TV and TV Ashi‘s 24-affiliate network and BS Fuji. Anime Expo screened the world premiere of the first episode on July 3.

J-Novel Club licensed the novels, and it describes the story:

One day, the supervisor in charge of watching over Earth was taking care of a distortion, when they made a mistake that caused Kaoru Nagase to lose her physical body. Not only that, but reincarnating her into a different, less culturally advanced world is the only thing they can offer to do for her. Not one to take this turn of events sitting down, Kaoru makes a demand: the power to create potions at any time she pleases, with whatever effect she wants it to have—and it doesn’t stop there either. She asks for a magical Item Box, the ability to understand and speak every language, and the same body she had back when she was a fifteen-year-old girl. Using her newfound powers, Kaoru has to try and make a stable life for herself in a whole new world!

The series stars:

• Rin Kusumi as Kaoru
