Scooped Up by an S-Rank Adventurer! This White Mage Is One Heck of a Healer: Volume 1
Not yet published
Expected 14 Jan 26Lloyd is a member of the most illustrious Hero’s party—wait, what do you mean “not anymore”?!
Kicked out for being too weak, no one seems to realize that Lloyd is actually an absurdly powerful white mage trained by Lady Merlin herself! Manipulating magic is practically second nature to him, regularly leaving even S-rank adventurers stunned speechless. Not that Lloyd has any idea just how strong he really is.
Luck is finally on his side when a seasoned adventurer recognizes his worth and scoops him right up into her party. But their first quest to hunt a pack of high wolves quickly takes an unexpected turn when the city comes under attack. Now Lloyd must navigate new social dynamics and a quest far more dangerous than it first appeared—and maybe, just maybe, prove his worth along the way.

Review of advance copy received from Publishers Weekly
The main draw of this series was the anime that got released recently (at least by the time of writing this review). I didn't expect much, it is a rather standard banished from the hero's party due to chronic lack of confidence but meets people who do appreciate his skills and together they fight monsters to save the city, but things are a bit more complicated than that.
Granted, at least they give a decent explanation for his lack of confidence, but as is common in these stories it is just a tad too ridiculously done. He is OP, and anybody except the hero and his party members realize it. At least he is a nice guy and the only fan service was the accidental drop into the female adventurer companions taking a bath scene. An eyeroll moment for sure, but not the worse I have come across in the genre.
I was curious how the anime held up compared to the light novel, and it was a pretty decent adaptation. No glaring differences, nothing rushed, at least not as far as the first volume covers. All in all, a decent read, nothing ground breaking, but you could do worse in this subgenre.
