Kadokawa revealed on Friday it will release storywriter Jirō Sugiura and artist Umemaru‘s The Fake Alchemist (Nisemono no Renkinjutsushi) manga digitally in English starting on January 22. The manga will be available on various digital retailers.
Yen Press will release the manga in print starting on February 24, and it describes the story:
Young Paracelsus was never a fighter, so when he’s transported to another world, there’s only one path for him to make a living— alchemy. The problem is, he’s cheating his way through it! Can Paracelsus and his newfound companion, Nora, thrive in this strange new world?
Sugiura and Umemaru launched the manga on Kadokawa‘s KadoComi website in June 2023. The manga is ongoing, and Kadokawa released the fourth volume on July 23. The fifth volume will ship on February 20.
Sugiura launched the My Wife Has No Emotion manga in Kadokawa‘s Comic Flapper magazine in 2019, although the manga has been on hiatus since November 2024. Seven Seas Entertainment is releasing the manga in English.
The manga’s television anime adaptation premiered in July 2024.
