Rune Soldier - Enter the Klutz (Vol. 1)
Big, buff magician-in-training Louie, the hero of the comedy-adventure seriesMaho Senshi Riui(Magical Soldier Riui, 2001), is as strong as  an ox and almost as bright. Bored with his studies, he wants to join three  female adventurers who need a magician to help them locate some treasure.  Diminutive Merril is money-hungry; muscular Genie is a temperamental  ex-soldier; blonde Melissa is a devotee of the god Mylee. They eventually agree  to take Louie along, although they constantly berate him. Louie exemplifies a  familiar anime type: the good-hearted doofus who eventually wins over the  skeptics. He'd cut off his right arm for a friend, although he'd probably get  flustered and cut off the friend's left arm by mistake. Winning over Merril,  Genie, and Melissa will take some doing, as they insist that associating with  him is "no fun at all."
