Kusuri no Mamono no Kaiko Riyuu (Manga)

I would be really happy, if someone who speaks Japanese could translate me the name and description to English, so that I can update the suggestion with it.

My Opinion: Since there isn‘t really any translated info about the manga, I unfortunately can‘t say much (only that it‘s a manga adaption of a light novel). But what I can say is, that the art style looks really pretty and the story seems quite interesting and exiting, too (from what I could see from the raws), at least enough that I would like to read it.
I also think J-Novel Club would be able to license this easier, seeing that the manga is published by TO Books and J-Novel Club has already licensed a lot from them.

@Silver-Sugar-Duchess Okayyy? Can‘t say much yet, because there aren’t much infos to this series (I only heard that the male lead is some kind of demon?), but it does look quite intriguing. Anyway, what a beautiful cover and art style!

Here are the novel covers by the way:

It looks like volume 3 will be the last until further notice, since unfortunately the author died. It remains to be seen if the rest of the web novel will be published, or not.
So I think the manga will probably adapt volume 1-2 at most. But this is fine with me, short manga are nice, too.

@Silver-Sugar-Duchess The author is dead!? That‘s so sad… But do the manga and novel have a chance to get picked up, if it‘s like this?

Wow, what an incredible beautiful cover! Now this piques my interest.

Silver Sugar Duchess

@JeweledPoisonousButterfly Yes, it seems so.
I think the manga has pretty good chances to get picked up, because it probably will only adapt the first light novel volume and be complete then. For the novel, well, J-Novel Club already has licensed "unfinished“, or "axed“ series in the past, so I don‘t really see a problem with it.
