As an avid isekai Reader, I can say skip this one.

The Theme of the story (using healing magic in offensive ways by instantly healing one self to continue rigorous training/fighting) albeit somewhat interesting in the first few chapters, is just that.... I personally found myself getting bored of this theme very quickly into the story as this is the only driving factor, as the story itself has no new content.

One thing that really bothers me in Anime/Manga is how the author wants us the readers to react or perceive a character by constantly telling us about said characters great characteristics. This manga does this a ... lot. This manga also takes advantage of "oh I'm so afraid of my sensei beating me up so I will fight this impossible battle as it's probably easier then to face the fury of my sensei crap!" Ugh how cliche and simple minded. I don't want to read a manga where the MC only does what he does to avoid the fury of who ever, especially when it's supposed to be a tense moment. It takes away from the severity of the situation.

Another disappointing point with this Manga is the fact that as the reader we can easily decipher which villains are going to have a change of heart. This villain is literally going to destroy the kingdom if he wins the fight! NP, our MC has the only ability to win miraculously even though he's ONLY A HEALER! OMG WHO WOULD HAVE KNOWN! *rolls eyes* OMG WHAT THE VILLAIN NOW IS GOING TO REFORM AND BECOME ONE OF THE CREW!!!! HOW CAN ONE MAN CHANGE THE HEARTS OF EVERYONE!!!!.... (dumb sarcasm)

It's just.... Sooooooo bad!!!!! I don't mind change of heart themes, but if it's done with as little effort as stealing candy from a baby then I just can't get behind it. It's just insulting to us the readers unless you are like 10.

Outside of all that though honestly I've read worse, and as i've mentioned before, this manga does have a somewhat strong begging so for all it's worth I give it a very generous 5. VERY GENEROUS.

The arts is nice, the writing is horrible, our MC is mid, 5 out of 10 wouldn't read again.

Incredibly bland, forgettable Isekai.

Given the first 3 volumes I see little reason to continue reading this. The biggest issue is there needs to be some type of hook to keep you interested which this does not have. It's so casual and generic you can practically predict every line of dialogue. Fight scenes come and go with zero build up or suspense. This is very much a shounen series with mandatory fight action scenes every couple pages and lots of physical humor. The overall story content is as shallow as "maybe the bad guys aren't that bad" and "need to train more." The artwork ... is also very dull and looks identical to the thousands of other LN adaption.

If you are into Isekai and looking for something with a twist, this is for you.

Another Isekai story but with a plottwist.
The title really says it all, the wrong of using healing magic.

After usato-kun being transported by accident and being accompanied by two heroes. His classmates and friends. He discovers he is a healing mage, and although that is super rare. He is pretty much useless in battle.

So there starts the sadistic plot twist. Instead of using healing magic to support. He uses it for offence.

The art is amazing and the most funny moments come when everybody is shivers in terror ... when seeing the overpowered protagonist. The teacher of Usato and Usato himself are the best characters. They both develop a friendly and sadistic side. Kind of like a tsundere.

The rest of the characters are a bit mundane and standard.

I've always been curious about the "alternate" ways healing magic could be used, but really, some are way too much of a damn meme. Some crap about "Healing the world" as a means to revert time or time travel? That is absolute bullshit, and a huge turn-off. This one, on the other hand, feels like just what I'd imagine as a way to use healing magic for oneself. Feels near perfect in that regard.

It did start off in the more generic aspect, but it sure evolved into its own thing soon. Sure, still got an overpowered protagonist, but the way it is executed here has ... an actual charm to it.
The other Heroes haven't really been given much of a backstory yet, but they still bond well with Usato, and the rest of the cast from the Isekai world is pretty damn well done. The reactions of the people around makes sense, the comedic value feels just done well enough(Although that is a bit subjective and it might already be a tad overdone for some of you), it's sentimental, has beliefs that gel well with how the world works, and how he's perceived...
Overall, a solid read, really.


Story:9/10
Eh, it gets by. Feels like a more slow paced manga, but that's why it gets the time to showcase its own unique pros.

Art:7/10
Not particularly appealing, but not bad enough to be a turn-off.

Character:9/10
All the characters are portrayed as realistically as they possibly can be given this story, and the progression is done well.

Enjoyment:10/10
Clearly worthy. The transition from a serious, touching moment to something hilarious is always a fun sight.

Overall:10/10
Worthy of a read.

Tbh Im not really a big enough otaku or manga reader to give reviews but this book made me want to write something about it.

The plot is simple and because its uncomplicated I would say its a nice and easy read for casual readers. The power balance seems just right as in the MC is strong but not so strong to the point he does not require ally help, in fact nearing chapters 30 and above, he starts depending on his allies a lot more. The story is wholesome but not without its dark sides as well. Its nothing like 'redo of healer' with the ... absurd uses of healing magic.

Overall, its an unconventional isekai where the MC is OP and balances out with other characters. The side characters each have their uniqueness and its a wholesome read. If you feel like everything else is just too heavy, then this is just the sweet spot.

Also most review says he uses healing for offense, but its mostly him using his well-trained body to hit and incapacitate the enemy, followed by healing magic on himself to heal the wounds he caused himself....albeit repeatedly hehe.
