The Fake Alchemist Gets Anime Adaptation, Cast Revealed

The Fake Alchemist, a popular isekai manga, is moving to television. A teaser has unveiled the cast and staff behind the adaptation, marking the series' jump from page to screen.

The manga, created by Sugiura and Umemaru, launched on Kadokawa's KadoComi website in June 2023 and remains ongoing. The story unfolds in Orichalconia, a city-state where alchemy and magic form the backbone of daily life. Kadokawa publishes the series digitally in English, while Yen Press handles the print release.

The teaser confirms the anime is in active production, with cast and creative team now locked in. Details on voice actors and production staff are available through the announcement, though the full scope of the adaptation—episode count, premiere window, and studio—remain to be confirmed in subsequent reveals.

For a series that's only been running since mid-2023, the speed to anime greenlight is notable. Isekai remains a reliable draw for adaptation committees, and The Fake Alchemist clearly found enough traction in its first three years to justify the investment. The real test will be whether the anime captures what made readers stick around in the first place.
