Publisher Description
Van, the fourth son of a powerful noble, is only two years old when he remembers his past life as a salaryman in Japan. With his adult brain in a young body, he's considered a child prodigy...until he displays the "Production Magic" skill when he turns eight. In a family that favors offensive magic, this crafting skill is considered useless in battle, and Van is banished to oversee a tiny country town in disgrace. With only his personal maid, his father's butler, a knight, a rescued slave, the memories of his past life, and his "worthless" magic, can Van improve the fortunes of this little village--and himself?

Amazing Adaptation; Promising Read
What an amazing first volume of manga adaptation for this light novel series! The story and details are very fresh in my mind since I discovered and devoured the first two light novel volumes in the past 3 days.
This manga is masterful both on its own and int adaptation of the light novel source material. Character designs feel straight from the light novel illustrations. It makes easy and seamless recognition between the two works so far. This manga also contains the adaptation-from-light-novel trend of a novel (text only) chapter exclusive to the manga volume. It’s a nice touch for fans of the light novel, giving them an extra reason to indulge in the manga volumes.
I personally like that this series has been staying away from outright harem and outright adult lechery that feels common from number of male lead Isekai/reincarnation stories on the market. As seen in vol. 1 of the manga there is a little skirting perhaps as part of showing the protagonist’s true age. But it hasn’t crossed the line of relying on or using erotica leanings and harem/polygamy as a key part of the male lead’s relationships. That makes me very happy, as a series to sink my teeth into.
