The Fake Alchemist Anime's Teaser Unveils Cast, Staff
Kadokawa unveiled a new teaser trailer for the television anime of storywriter Jirō Sugiura and artist Umemaru's The Fake Alchemist (Nisemono no Renkinjutsushi) manga on Friday. The teaser announces the anime's cast and staff.
The anime stars Yōhei Matsuoka as Paracelsus and Miyari Nemoto as Nora.
Takeo Takahashi (Wasteful Days of High School Girl, Hinako Note, Spice & Wolf: merchant meets the wise wolf) is the chief director, while Hijiri Sanpei (Yuri Is My Job!, Spice & Wolf: merchant meets the wise wolf) is the director. Kenta Ihara (Saga of Tanya the Evil, Ishura, Nukitashi the Animation) is in charge of the series scripts. Yuka Takashina (D.C.S.S. ~Da Capo Second Season~, Dance with Devils, Ishura) is designing the characters. Luke Standridge (An Observation Log of My Fiancée Who Calls Herself a Villainess, Magical Buffs: The Support Caster is Stronger Than He Realized!) is composing the music.
Kadokawa describes the story:
As an indie hit that became a legendary sensation, surpassing 1 million copies in its commercial edition in Japan, this new monumental “isekai” finally gets a TV adaptation!
In the city-state of Orichalconia, a world where alchemy and magic are deeply rooted in the lives of the people, the reincarnated Paracelsus ekes out a living as an alchemist while hiding his “cheat skills”.
However, his life changes dramatically one day after he enters into a contract with a shaman slave-girl, Nora, and later meets Coco, an elf who has lost all four limbs and five senses.
To save Coco, what began as a rescue attempt in a small workshop gradually escalates into a battle involving alchemy and sorcery, space and even the gods themselves—
The curtain now rises on this story, filled to the brim with “everything fantasy”!
Passione is animating the series.
Sugiura and Umemaru launched the manga on Kadokawa's KadoComi website in June 2023. The manga is ongoing, and Kadokawa released the fifth compiled book volume on February 20. Kadokawa is releasing the manga in English digitally. Yen Press releases the manga in print, with the second volume scheduled for release on June 23.
