The Saint's Magic Power in Omnipotent is a great manga for anyone wanting more stories like Snow White with the Red Hair or The Alchemist Who Survived. It's a great fantasy, slice-of-life, romance that so far has a lot of potential to be a great female-led isekai story.

The ritual that summoned her—meant to produce a “Saint” who would banish the dark magic—brought two people over instead of one. The crown prince prefers the second girl over Sei. Unfazed, Sei follows her own devices and sets her sights on being a researcher at the Medicinal Flora Research Institute, an establishment known for its studies regarding herbs and potions. While indulging in her latest passion, Sei has a fateful encounter with the commander of the Third Order of Knights. But little does she know, her aptitude as a Saint will continue to exert its influence over her new life.

The finale of the 12-episode Isekai series was really quite simple, but also very subtle, leaving things open for the future.At the end of the day Love wins as we get to know that the Saint's magic Power is Love.

Hopeful for Season 2.It definitely deserves another season.
