AlphaPolis, a Japanese publishing house, has just entered the North American print market by releasing English paperback versions of three of its most popular manga series for the first time. The initial titles—Possibly the Greatest Alchemist of All Time, A Gatherer’s Adventure in Isekai, and May I Ask for One Final Thing—will be released from summer through fall of 2026.
This marks AlphaPolis’ first foray into publishing its own physical books in North America. All three series are already available as digital editions via Kindle and the Alpha Manga app, and their anime adaptations can be streamed worldwide on Crunchyroll. Collectively, the series have sold nearly six million copies in Japan.
AlphaPolis organizes its catalog using a reader‑driven publishing approach. Creators submit original novels and manga to the company’s online platform, where popular works are selected for commercial publication and may later be adapted into manga, light novels, or anime.
The three debut releases are:
- Possibly the Greatest Alchemist of All Time by Taro Sasakama and Kogitsunemaru — an isekai tale about Takumi Iruma who unexpectedly gains a super‑strong alchemy power. Its anime series began in January 2025, with a second season currently in production.
- A Gatherer’s Adventure in Isekai by Tomozo and Masuo Kinoko — follows Takeru Kamishiro, who is reincarnated into a fantasy world with extraordinary gathering abilities. The anime adaptation aired late in 2025.
- May I Ask for One Final Thing? by Sora Hoonoki and Nana Otori — a villainess fantasy about Scarlet, who seeks permission to retaliate after her public engagement is annulled. The anime series launched in October 2025.
The first volumes of each series have been on shelves since July 28, with Volume 2 scheduled for August 11 and Volume 3 for October 13. AlphaPolis indicated that additional titles from its catalog will be released as it continues to expand its North American publishing line‑up.
