Cheat Pharmacist’s Slow Life is quintessential isekai where the main character just lives a very happy and often peaceful life while surrounded by cute girls. Also, it is always oddly enjoyable to watch fantasy people be in awe of modern things like super glue and dish soap.

If you want to start the Cheat Pharmacist’s Slow Life manga after the anime, you can start at Chapter 33.
The anime adapts some of that chapter (Episode 9 where they go fishing and catch a girl) but the anime cuts it short, so you mind as well read it.
The anime adapts through all of Volume 6.

What to Expect From The Cheat Pharmacist’s Slow Life Source Material Compared to The Anime?
I’ve seen worse anime adaptations, but the Cheat Pharmacist’s Slow Life adaptation is not particularly great.
At first, the anime did pretty good. It sped through a lot of chapters in the beginning, but evened out the pacing later. However, while the pacing improved, they started re-arranging chapters as well as skipping them. The anime also cut a lot of events short throughout so it could cram in more events.
The tone of the series also feels a bit different between light novel/manga and the anime, but I can’t quite put my finger on why. It’s a light-hearted series, but the anime feels like it is trying harder to be cute instead of just slow life like the LN/manga, I guess.
You don’t strictly need to read Cheat Pharmacist’s Slow Life from the beginning because it is often light-hearted and episodic. However, you will find a lot of value in doing so.
Will There Be A Cheat Pharmacist’s Slow Life Season 2?
There has been no official announcement of a Cheat Pharmacist’s Slow Life Season 2 anime.
While the first season came out in 2021, and the door is still very much open, it isn’t looking good.
