What is Possibly the Greatest Alchemist of All Time about?
Possibly the Greatest Alchemist of All Time anime is based on the isekai light novel series of the same English title (Japanese: Izure Saikyō no Renkinjutsu-shi?) written by Kogitsunemaru and illustrated by Hitogome. AlphaPolis originally published the series in August 2017, and as of February 2018, sixteen volumes have been released. In August 2018, a manga adaptation of the isekai fantasy, illustrated by Tarō Sasakama, began serialization online via AlphaPolis' manga website, and has been collected in seven tankōbon volumes.
Alpha Manga, which publishes the English version of Sasakama's manga adaptation, shared a description for Possibly the Greatest Alchemist of All Time:
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!
