Kono Healer, Mendokusai

Set against the backdrop of a classic fantasy world, this comedic adventure follows an unlikely duo navigating the perils of monster-filled quests and dungeon crawling. The story centers on a dark elf cleric whose approach to healing is anything but conventional. Rather than dedicating her skill points to supportive magic or restorative spells, she has poured nearly all of her efforts into mastering the art of hurling insults. As a result, her bedside manner is notoriously abrasive, leaving anyone unfortunate enough to require her assistance bracing for a barrage of sharp-tongued mockery instead of gentle care. Her long-suffering companion is a straightforward swordsman who finds himself constantly at the mercy of her relentless antics. Despite his best efforts to focus on their dangerous adventures, he is forced to endure her biting remarks and eccentric behavior every time he needs to be patched up after a battle. Their mismatched dynamic drives the humor of the series, as the warrior struggles to maintain his sanity while relying on a healer who seems far more interested in verbal sparring than actual teamwork. This unique take on the adventuring party formula earned the series a nomination for the Tsugimanga 2020 Award in the Web Manga Category.
