The light novel series Dahlia in Bloom: Crafting a Fresh Start with Magical Tools (Madougushi Dahlia wa Utsumukanai) is getting a TV anime adaptation. A visual was released with the announcement.
Published under KADOKAWA’s MF Books label, the series began in October 2018 and has eight volumes as of June 2022. The books are penned by Hisaya Amagishi, who first began publishing the story as a web novel on Shousetsuka ni Narou in April 2018, and illustrated by Kei.
J-Novel Club describes the plot as:
After dying of overwork in Japan, Dahlia is reborn into a world filled with magic. Raised by a master of magical toolmaking, she develops a passion for the craft and becomes engaged to her father’s apprentice. Before her father can see her wed, however, he suddenly passes away. As if this weren’t enough, on the day before their wedding, her fiancé announces that he’s in love—but not with her! Dahlia finally realizes she needs to live for herself. She vows to be her own woman from now on and devote herself to her craft, even if it’s not quite the quiet life she was hoping for! From a chance encounter with a knight to starting her own company, there are challenges aplenty on the horizon. But this young craftswoman is no longer a shrinking violet—she’s Dahlia, and she’s ready to bloom.
Dahlia in Bloom: Crafting a Fresh Start with Magical Tools has also inspired a MAG Garden-published manga adaptation and a spin-off light novel series with its own manga adaptation. A KADOKAWA-published manga adaptation ran from 2019 to 2020 and is collected into two tankoubon volumes.
