Possibly the Greatest Alchemist of All Time

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.

Naoyuki Kuzuya directed the first season at Studio Comet. Mitsutaka Hirota handled the series scripts, while Sayaka Anesaki designed the characters. Hiroshi Nakamura composed the music.

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.

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!

However, about a month after enrolling at Kitafushi, He witnessed a female student from Kitafuji being harassed by Douju delinquents. He beat the delinquents to the ground and rescued the female student, and rescued her. This incident was the catalyst that prompted him to join the fight against Doshu.
      • Midou Batsuya – Kitahamahushimi High School, 1st grade. They are the life of the party and often laugh things off while solving problems. Their strong sense of justice and dependable nature earns them the deep trust of those around them. About a month after enrolling at Kitafushi, he witnessed a male student being harassed by Doshu delinquents and stepped in to help. He apologized, took a few light punches and insults, and calmed the situation down. Later, he lured the three students who had harassed him into an alley and beat them up. Renmaru is my childhood friend. We were partners in junior high, but stopped seeing each other after an incident in our third year. I know he’s at Kitafushi High, but we haven’t interacted since I enrolled.

More to be announced.
