The television anime of Nozomu Koryu's Sweet Reincarnation (Okashi na Tensei: Saikyō Patishie Isekai Kōrin) light novels will premiere in Japan in July. Crunchyroll describes the series:
A boy named Pastry is set to become the next lord of the destitute dominion of Morteln. He's known for having remarkable talent for his age... and it just so happens he was a genius pastry chef with a promising future in his previous life! He still retains his determination to make sweets that will make everyone smile, even after reincarnating as Pastry. But many challenges stand before him, including bandits attacking his domain, malicious and eccentric nobles, an unfortunate financial situation, and land so barren that even water is scarce. The only weapons he has to fight them with are his own ingenuity and love for making sweets. Can Pastry succeed in bringing happiness to the land?!

Naoyuki Kuzuya (Reborn to Master the Blade: From Hero-King to Extraordinary Squire) is directing the anime at Synergy SP, in collaboration with Studio Comet. Mitsutaka Hirota (Reborn to Master the Blade: From Hero-King to Extraordinary Squire) is writing and supervising the scripts. Tomoko Miyakawa (Reborn to Master the Blade: From Hero-King to Extraordinary Squire sub-character design) is designing the characters. Hiroshi Nakamura (The Dragon Dentist) is composing the music.

J-Novel Club is releasing Seriko Iida's manga adaptation of the novels in English. Koryu launched the original novel series on the Shōsetsuka ni Narō website in February 2015, and TO Books is publishing the volumes in print with illustrations by Yasuyuki Shuri. Iida launched the manga adaptation on the Comic Corona section of the Nico Nico Seiga service in December 2017, and the manga is ongoing.
