Hanashi Media describes the main synopsis of I Saved Myself with a Potion!: Life in Another World as:
Kaede was just an ordinary high school girl—until she woke up in another world of beastfolk, elves, and dragons. Lost and alone, she found a mysterious book in her backpack with a single strange instruction: say “Create” to brew a potion.
To her surprise, it worked.
With nothing but her potion-making skills to rely on, Kaede begins building a new life in this unfamiliar world. Her creations sell for good money, and for a while, things are peaceful. But everything changes when she crosses paths with a traveling party—leading to chance encounters, dragons, and choices she never expected to face.
