The Am I Actually the Strongest? anime is based on a light novel series by Sai Sumimori. It was first published on the user-generated content website, Shosetsuka ni Naro in September 2018 before being acquired by Kodansha. It was published as a light novel with illustrations by Ai Takahashi. At the moment, the light novel has five volumes released.
It also has an ongoing manga adaptation with art by Takahashi. The manga has been serialized by Kodansha since May 2019. In April 2022, it went on hiatus; with Takahashi citing “personal circumstances” as the reason for the hiatus. At the moment, it has been collected into six volumes.
Kodansha USA has licensed the manga in English for North America, describing the plot as:
To be reincarnated into another world with the promise of a “cheat” power is one thing… but to be reborn as a baby, and then left for dead after your royal parents think you’re powerless?? That’s another thing entirely! Now the newly-born Reinhart—or Hart to his new friends—must find his way through a dangerous world…but luckily he’s got magic that’s quite literally off the charts!
