posted on by Rafael Antonio Pineda
The Wrong Way to Use Healing Magic, the television anime of Kurokata's Chiyu Mahō no Machigatta Tsukai-kata: Senjō o Kakeru Kaifuku Yōin (The Wrong Way to Use Healing Magic: Recovery Team Running Through the Battlefield) fantasy light novel series, will premiere in January 2024.
Takahide Ogata (Kaiketsu Zorori: Lalala♪ Star Tanjō, Motto! Majime ni Fumajime Kaiketsu Zorori) is directing the anime at Studio Add and Shinei Animation. Shogo Yasukawa (Food Wars! Shokugeki no Soma, Quality Assurance in Another World) is in charge of series scripts, and Kenji Tanabe (BLUELOCK) is designing the characters. Elements Garden (Hitoshi Fujima, Seima Kondō) are composing the music.
The "slapstick isekai fantasy with gags and battles" begins when ordinary high school student Usato happens to bump into student council president Suzune and classmate Kazuki on his way home. All three are suddenly swallowed up by a magic circle and transported to another world.
The trio are summoned as heroes to save a kingdom from a demon king's army — but, only Suzune and Kazuki have what it takes to be heroes. Usato just happened to be dragged along for the ride.
However, things turn around when Usato is discovered to have the rare knowledge of a healing mage. He is abducted by a woman who identifies herself as Rose, the leader of the life-saving corps, and drafted into her ranks.
Mirai Minato (Masamune-kun's Revenge, BOFURI: I Don't Want to Get Hurt, so I'll Max Out My Defense.) is directing the anime at SILVER LINK. Deko Akao (Higehiro, Komi Can't Communicate, Flying Witch) is writing and overseeing the series scripts, and Saori Nakashiki (The Great Jahy Will Not Be Defeated!, Tales of Wedding Rings) is designing the characters.
Yen Press is releasing the novels in English, and it describes the story:
Even though Sasaki's droll corporate life is constantly filled with work, it leaves him tired and unfulfilled at the end of every day. In search of some companionship to fill the emptiness in his life, he visits a pet shop on a whim, not realizing he's about to change his life forever. After settling on an adorable bird and bringing it home...his new roommate reveals that it's actually an incredible sage from another world who promptly bestows Sasaki with supernatural powers as well as the ability to cross between worlds. All Sasaki wants to do is use these newfound powers to live in peace and comfort, but there are more than a few colorful characters who might get in the way of that...
