  Anime Review | The Wrong Way to Use Healing Magic

  Plot

  Alright, so here we go again with another Isekai. MC gets sucked into another world—surprise—and guess what? He’s got healing magic! But wait, this one’s different (kinda). Instead of healing others like, you know, a normal healer, he ends up using it to heal himself after wrecking his own body trying to overcome ridiculous challenges.

  His mentor? Yeah, they basically force him to use his magic “the wrong way,” which apparently just means abusing it on himself so he can go through literal hell and back. Good times. Seriously, he’s out here snapping his bones, tearing his muscles, and pushing himself to the brink of death over and over—all so he can heal himself right back up and do it again. Self-care? More like self-sabotage.

  Oh, and don’t expect too much of a plot twist. It’s pretty straightforward. MC gets summoned, figures out his magic is healing, and then spends most of the time training to the point of self-destruction. Sprinkle in a few battles, some light drama, and a predictable villain or two, and you’ve got the whole thing wrapped up in a nice little “been there, done that” package.

  Title

  The title though? It’s kinda stupid. He’s not really using healing magic “wrong.” If anything, he’s just overusing it. Dude’s basically a one-man hospital for himself. So yeah, the title doesn’t really match the plot of the show, but hey, its your standard isekai title I suppose. This shows marketing now that’s the real magic here.

  Story

  Story-wise, it’s... okay? Like, it’s not bad enough to make you wanna throw your mouse at the screen, but it’s not exactly groundbreaking either. You’ve got your generic fantasy setting with kings, knights, and some magic sprinkled in, but nothing really stands out. It’s like they pulled out the standard Isekai starter pack and went, “Yeah, this will do.”

  The pacing doesn’t help much either. It’s like the anime’s on cruise control—not too fast, not too slow, just coasting along. You’ll get moments where things pick up, but then it slows back down just as quickly. It’s not bad, just... forgettable.

  Characters

  The MC? Just your average underdog who gets OP over time, but his personality is pretty flat. He’s not super annoying, but he’s not that interesting either. He’s got that whole chill vibe going on, but let’s be real here we’ve seen this character trope a thousand times before.

  The mentor is one One of those “tough love” types who acts like a tough tsundere but secretly cares about the MC. You know the type: all bark, all bite, but somehow still kinda cool. They’re basically the reason our guy doesn’t die halfway through the series.

  The side characters? They exist, but there isn’t much interaction since the MC is in magic boot camp for most of the series. They’re just kinda... there. Nobody’s super likable or hateable—they’re just window dressing. You could swap them out with literally anyone else, and it wouldn’t make much of a difference.

  Action and Animation

  The action scenes are alright. The animation looks good enough to keep you watching, and the magic fights are watchable, even if they’re not anything special. It’s like eating plain toast—not exciting, but it gets the job done. You’ll see a few flashy moves here and there, but don’t expect anything that’ll make your jaw drop. Honestly, it feels like most of the animation budget went into making roses hair perfect, I am pretty sure half the budget went into her hair.

  The fight choreography is "decent", but it’s not going to win any awards. It’s mostly just “heal, punch, heal, repeat” with a few dramatic pauses thrown in for good measure. At least it’s not horribly animated, so there’s that.

  Conclusion

  So yeah, The Wrong Way to Use Healing Magic isn’t terrible, but it’s not amazing either. It’s just... okay. If you have nothing better to do and are bored out of your mind, it’s not the worst Isekai out there. But don’t expect it to blow your mind or anything. It’s just another generic Isekai doing Isekai things.

  To sum it up: It's Watchable if you’re starving for mid isekai, but not something you’ll remember after the credits roll. If you’re into the whole “self-healing, self-wrecking” thing, you should give it a go, otherwise, there are better things to watch.

  A Unique, Yet Effective Way To Use Healing Magic

  My Review of "The Wrong Way to Use Healing Magic"!

  ---

  Who knew there was an appropriate wrong way to use healing magic?

  ____Story____

  Ken Usato, Suzune Inukami, and Kazuki Ryuusen were regular high students until they got summoned into a different world. Discovering that they had their own powers, their mission was to provide assistance in defending the kingdom they stayed in, which would go into a battle with powerful demons. Ken Usato, the main character, was blessed with the rare power of healing magic, leading to an experienced healing commander by the name of Rose to train him with extreme methods to make him a powerful healing user.

  ____Visuals____

  The visuals are above average. There are definitely a few moments in the anime where I was impressed by the visuals, but they were never really the star of the show.

  ____Characters____

  Ken Usato is a dedicated and hardworking student. He puts all his effort into his training to improve his abilities as a healing magic user. His leader, Rose, is quite the developed character. Although very tough and strict with her training protocols, she's actually an enjoyable person outside of her work. Her past has shaped her into a great fighter and an even greater healer, making it her goal not to let anyone die. Ken Usato wasn't transported into the new world by himself, however, as his friends Suzune Inukami and Kazuki Ryuusen were summoned alongside him. They're both quite friendly, but they have the powers of light and electricity, making them very strong fighters.

  ____The Good____

  I loved the way that healing magic was presented in this anime. Although it initially started normally, the ending really showed the creative possibilities of healing, which I was genuinely impressed with. I'm surprised there aren't many other fantasy anime that use healing in the same way. I really liked the charactrers' personalities. The show presented them in ways that don't make them unbearable and completely enjoyable in their own unique ways. I also liked the little comedic moments. They provide a bit of a fun in comparison to most of the seriousness in the show.

  ____The Bad____

  At first, I was confused what was the "wrong way to use healing magic." Has it ever been wrong to heal yourself for your own personal benefit? I don't think so. It's nothing that big, but it was distrubing me through the anime.... and then it made sense a bit over halfway through the show. To be honest, I didn't really care much for the backstory moments. They just didn't interest me as much as the rest of the story and overall disappointed me a bit.

  ____The Downright Ugly____

  There was nothing downright ugly about this show.

  ____Is It Worth The Watch?____

  If you want a fantasy show that does something unique and slightly different from other anime, this is a good option. I think that this show is worth the watch. It gave me a new perspective on how healing magic can work.

  Thank you for taking the time to read my review. I hope this helped you with your decision on whether to watch this anime or not! If you already have watched it, I hope that you can agree with me with some of the points I made. ^^
