Seven Seas Licenses Magical Buffs: The Support Caster is Stronger Than He Realized! Light Novel Series (Airship Imprint)
(May 7, 2025) — Seven Seas Entertainment is pleased to announce the license acquisition of the light novel series Magical Buffs: The Support Caster is Stronger Than He Realized! by Haka Tokura and Eiri Shirai. The light novel that inspired the manga, also available from Seven Seas! A man's magical abilities get him kicked out of his group, but thanks to a childhood friend, he'll get a chance to be in an elite guild in this action-fantasy series.
Granting casters like Wim Strauss play an important supporting role for their team when times get tough, but after his talents hurt the pride of his party's leader, he's kicked out of the group!
Yet he's not down and out for long. Wim's luck takes a turn when he receives an invitation from his longtime childhood friend (and stalker) Heidemarie to join Nachtlibelle, an elite guild considered one of the greatest in the land. His talents may not be the flashiest, but given the chance with his new quirky crew, this supporting act might just be able to prove center stage.
