What is Possibly the Greatest Alchemist of All Time about?
The Possibly the Greatest Alchemist of All Time anime is based on the light novels of the same title (Japanese: いずれ最強の錬金術師？, Izure Saikyō no Renkinjutsu-shi?), written by Kogitsunemaru and illustrated by Hitogome, which started publication in 2018. As of October 2023, Alphapolis have published 15 volumes. The series received a manga adaptation with illustrations by Taro Sasakama, which Alpha Manga describes as:
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!
