This Healer’s a Handful is an upcoming anime that calls itself an “isekai burnt-out adventurer comedy.” Tannen ni Hakkō’s story might just be the thing we need in these troubled times.

The PV begins with a serious fantasy flashback sequence where Alvin, a warrior, and his healer, dark elf Karla, are seemingly battling terrifying creatures. It even has epic music to make it seem like a war is taking place.

Soon, the facade fades, and we see our main duo break into stupid conversations about how none of them can do their job correctly.

The story follows this useless duo’s adventure across a fantasy world where nothing goes their way despite being the protagonists.

The PV also revealed the main cast for the anime.
