Magical Buffs: The Support Caster is Stronger Than He Realized! (Light Novel) Vol. 1
Description
After Wim Strauss, a low-profile granting caster who boosts allies in battle, is kicked from his party for outshining the hero, he starts anew. In Nachtlibelle, a famed A-rank guild, he finds allies who value his buffs—and his quiet strategy—over flashy displays. Seamlessly mixing humor with hard-hitting fantasy, the tale follows Wim's growth as he proves the backline can decide the fight. This first volume in Magical Buffs: The Support Caster is Stronger Than He Realized! introduces writer Haka Tokura and artist Eiri Shirai, and sets up a series built on teamwork, clever planning, and dependable magic. Originally a light novel that inspired a manga adaptation, the story blends character focus with exciting battles and a refreshing take on the fantasy genre for readers who enjoy strategic battles and warm camaraderie.
