The official website for the Possibly the Greatest Alchemist of All Time anime revealed that the anime will be getting a second season. To celebrate the announcement, Tarō Sasakama, who handles the manga adaptation, released a congratulatory image.
The first season aired on January 1 and consisted of 12 episodes in total. Fans can watch the series in English or Japanese on Crunchyroll.

Kogitsunemaru released the novels on AlphaPolis’ website in 2017. AlphaPolis published the novel’s first volume, featuring illustrations by Hitogome, in February 2018. The novel’s 17th volume shipped on December 18.
In August 2018, Tarō Sasakama released the manga adaptation on AlphaPolis’ website. AlphaPolis published the manga’s eighth compiled book volume also on December 18.
Alphapolis’ Alpha Manga service publishes the manga in English and describes it as follows:
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! 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!
