The Wrong Way to Use Healing Magic is based on the KADOKAWA-published light novel series written by Kurokata and illustrated by KeG. One Peace Books, which publishes both the light novels and Reki Kugayama‘s manga adaptation in English, describes the former as:
Usato, an ordinary high schooler, happens to run into two fellow students after school one rainy day. Suddenly, all three of them are engulfed in a magic circle and transported to a fantasy world. There’s just one tiny problem―Usato is simply dragged along by accident! On top of that, Usato learns that he is capable of using healing magic―an incredibly rare affinity in this new world. Now Usato must spend his days with the rescue team thugs, struggling through their hellish training regimen―learning the wrong way to use healing magic. Get ready for an eccentric otherworld fantasy filled with comedy and combat!
The light novels, which are published under KADOKAWA’s MF Books label, ran from 2016 to 2020 with 12 volumes. The story was originally written as a web novel that debuted on Shousetsuka ni Narou in 2014.
