The story centers around a young pharmacologist who was so focused on his research that he died from overwork. He was transported to an alternate world and reincarnated as Pharma, the scion in a noble lineage of court healers. In this world where erroneous remedies and cures are rampant, he takes on all kinds of ailments to save lives, thanks to his inside knowledge of modern pharmacology from his past life.
Aki Toyosaki stars as Pharma de Medicis.

Mayuko Matsumoto (Chio's School Road, Kan Colle) is designing the characters.
