The Wrong Way to Use Healing Magic 2024

Healing magic takes centerstage in this hilarious fantasy anime

Our Take (by Isabella Endrinal)

Usually, when whisked away to a fantasy world, there’s usually some grand reason, like a prophecy or a destined quest to go on or a villain to defeat, with the hero having some secret powers to discover. The Wrong Way to Use Healing Magic instead, starts with an unintentional, average protagonist that gets accidentally transported with his popular, more accomplished classmates, but he does have the healing magic that hasn’t been focused on in most isekai anime. And as Usato acclimatizes himself to the world, the show suggests that even average people can rise up to extraordinary challenges, if only given the expectation to succeed. While his journey would gradually come closer and closer to regular isekai, The Wrong Way to Use Healing Magic still makes the journey there fun.

Synopsis

An ordinary walk home from school turns into an epic journey for Usato. After suddenly being dropped into another world with two fellow students, Usato learns he was summoned there by accident. But things turn around when he discovers a unique aptitude for healing magic! Now, he trains beyond human limitations, using his self-healing abilities to gain absurd strength and unrivaled stamina.

More about it

What happens

Considering himself to be average overall, high school student Usato gets accidentally whisked away to the fantastical Llinger Kingdom with his popular, overachieving classmates Suzune and Kazuki, who were chosen to fight a demon lord. However, his ordinariness is challenged when it’s discovered that Usato has extraordinarily rare healing magic.

What sets it apart

Obviously, the healing magic. It’s rare enough to focus on this kind of magic, but it’s even rarer to turn healing into a means to acquire speed and super strength.

TL;DR

I mean, it’s not the wrong way to use it, but it’s certainly unconventional.
