The official website for Possibly the Greatest Alchemist of All Time, the television anime adaptation of Kogitsunemaru's Izure Saikyō no Renkinjutsu-shi? (Someday Will I Be The Greatest Alchemist?) light novel series, revealed on Thursday the anime will get a second season. Manga adaptation illustrator Tarō Sasakama drew the below celebratory image.
Naoyuki Kuzuya (Saiyuki Gaiden, Bikkuriman 2000, Bikini Warriors) directed the first season at Studio Comet. Mitsutaka Hirota (Edens Zero, Rent-A-Girlfriend) was in charge of series scripts, Sayaka Anesaki (Tohai: Ura Rate Mahjong Tohai Roku) designed the characters, and Hiroshi Nakamura (Sweet Reincarnation, Oda Cinnamon Nobunaga) composed the music.
Kogitsunemaru launched the novels on AlphaPolis' website in 2017. AlphaPolis published the novels' first volume with illustration by Hitogome in February 2018. The novels' 17th volume shipped on December 18. The novels won the Reader Award at AlphaPolis' 10th Fantasy Shōsetsu Award in 2017.
Tarō Sasakama launched the manga adaptation on AlphaPolis' website in August 2018. AlphaPolis published the manga's eighth compiled book volume also on December 18.
AlphaPolis' Alpha Manga service is publishing the manga in English under the title Possibly the Greatest Alchemist of All Time. AlphaPolis is also releasing the manga in compiled volumes digitally on Amazon, and released the seventh volume on December 20. AlphaPolis describes the story:
Not even a hero, Takumi Iruma gets accidentally mixed in with a group of heroes chosen to be summoned to another world. As compensation for the mix-up, a goddess offers him the right to choose any skill he wishes for! Hoping for a peaceful and quiet life that has nothing to do with fighting or going into battle, he chooses a seemingly boring creation skill. However, it turns out "alchemy" is the most powerful skill that allows him to create everything from a holy sword to flying ships! This cheat skill he unexpectedly acquired turns him into a wealthy merchant and makes him undefeatable in battles! A heartwarming adventure story about (possibly) the most powerful alchemist in another world!
