The Wrong Way to Use Healing Magic: Season 2 Officially Confirmed at Otakon

During the Otakon convention on Saturday, August 3, 2024, held at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center in Washington D.C., it was officially announced that season 2 of The Wrong Way to Use Healing Magic will be released. Although no further details were revealed at the convention, this news is extremely thrilling for fans as the series was one of the most popular ones during Winter 2024.

Despite the lack of promotional material and the timing of the announcement, it is highly probable that season 2 of The Wrong Way to Use Healing Magic will debut by early 2026 at the latest. There is a possibility that the series may even premiere in 2025 if production has been underway for some time, although this remains uncertain at the time of writing and is purely speculative.

The Wrong Way to Use Healing Magic Season 2 Production Confirmed, But No Additional Info Shared

It is currently uncertain if The Wrong Way to Use Healing Magic season 2 will have the same staff as the first season, which aired in Winter 2024. Although it is probable at the time of writing this article, there has been no confirmation. The delay in announcing the second season may be due to a change in studio and staff, which could also account for the gap between the first season’s finale in March 2024 and the announcement of the second season.

Despite potential complications such as funding issues or the series not being as popular in Japan as it is internationally, the decision to renew The Wrong Way to Use Healing Magic for a second season was ultimately made. This decision is likely the right one, as the series has gained a significant amount of popularity.

Takahide Ogata helmed the production of the original anime at Studio Add and Shinei Animation, with series scripts overseen by Shogo Yasukawa. Kenji Tanabe took on the role of character designer, while the music for the anime series was composed by Elements Garden (made up of Hitoshi Fujima and Seima Kondo).

This light novel is based on Kurokata’s original web novel series, which was first published on the Shosetsuka ni Naro website in March 2014 and is still ongoing. The light novel was released in March 2016 and ended exactly four years later in 2020. However, a sequel light novel series was launched in December 2023.

Ken Usato, Suzune Inukami, and Kazuki Ryuusen are walking home together when they suddenly find themselves transported into a fantasy world. Although only Suzune and Kazuki are summoned as heroes, Usato’s fate takes an unexpected turn when it is discovered that he possesses the rare ability of healing magic. This catches the attention of a healer named Rose, who abducts Usato and sets him on a journey to become a skilled healing mage.
