The Fake Alchemist

にせもののれんきんじゅつし

Aired: Unknown

A TV anime produced by Passione, based on the original novel by Jiro Sugiura and manga adaptation by Umemaru (published by KADOKAWA MFC, 5 volumes). Starting as an indie work that garnered legendary reception, the commercial version has surpassed 1 million copies in cumulative sales, establishing itself as a new landmark in the isekai genre. Set in the city-state of Orichalconia, where alchemy and magic are deeply woven into everyday life, the story follows Paracelsus, a reincarnated individual who hides his "cheat skills" while scraping by as an alchemist. One day, he contracts with Nora, an enslaved curse practitioner, and encounters Coco, an elf stripped of all four limbs and senses. His quiet life is upended as his attempt to save Coco from a small workshop escalates into an epic battle involving alchemy, curses, the cosmos, and even the gods themselves.
