The Wrong Way to Use Healing Magic is an anime based on a light novel serialized on Let's Become a Novelist, and a comic book adaptation! The main character, Usato, isn't someone who mows down enemies with flashy magic, but rather has the talent to be a healer who specializes in healing magic. He's not the kind of protagonist who mows down enemies with flashy magic, but rather undergoes rigorous training to become a muscle-brained healer who can mow down enemies with just his fists. In this article, we'd like to introduce you to the muscle-brained protagonist of this work, Usato!
High school second-year student Usato Ken gets caught up in a summoning to another world!
One day, high school second-year student Usato is summoned to another world along with student council president Suzune Inugami and his classmate and vice-president Kazuki Ryusen. However, only Suzune and Kazuki, who possess the potential to become heroes, were originally meant to be summoned as heroes, and Usato finds himself completely caught up in the chaos. Lloyd, the king of the Ringle Kingdom, apologizes for accidentally summoning Usato and promises to treat him with respect, but...
Usato is a rare user of healing magic!
Later, a magical aptitude test revealed that Usato had an aptitude for the rare art of healing magic, causing a stir among the king and everyone around him. The reason for the uproar wasn't the rarity of healing magic, but rather a single person. That person was Rose, a tough-looking woman who served as the leader of the Kingdom Lifesaving Corps. Rose was a person with problems that even the king found troublesome. The king and others tried to hide Usato's existence, but they were easily found out, and Usato was practically kidnapped by Rose.
Usato is targeted by Rose, the kingdom's strongest muscle-brained healing magician.
Rose is an expert in healing, not an offensive magician, but her skills are unmatched in the kingdom. No one can beat her, and her fighting style is a super muscle-brained one, healing herself with healing magic while punching with her well-trained physique. And her Spartan training is so harsh that it even makes the king scratch his head. So Rose, the most powerful muscle-brained Spartan leader, has caught the eye of Usato, an ordinary man.
Healing magicians aren't treated well in this world
In the Ringle Kingdom, where Usato and his friends are summoned, the importance of healing magicians is well known due to the presence of Rose, a truly dangerous being. Indeed, the achievements of the Rescue Corps on the battlefield are immeasurable. However, healing magicians who can't use offensive magic are easy targets on the battlefield, and their reputation and status outside the kingdom are at rock bottom. They are even discriminated against simply for being healing magicians.
If you're injured, just heal! Usato Adapts to Spartan Education
The day after Usato was taken to the Rescue Squad, he began his extremely brutal training, using healing magic to repair injuries and fatigue and relentlessly tormenting his body. To begin with, the staff members Usato encountered in the Rescue Squad all looked like thugs, muscular men with bad personalities. The training at the Rescue Squad was brutal, more intense than even the most strict military. Surprisingly, however, Usato adapted to the environment and maintained his rebellious spirit toward Rose.
Usato is completely absorbed by the Rescue Squad
Usato continued to undergo the Spartan training imposed by Rose, without ever giving up. While you might think he was just an ordinary person, he possessed a strong mental fortitude that withstood even the most brutal of training. He also had a competitive side, and after a while of training, he began to clearly show his rebellious side toward Rose. He also picked up on the bad behavior of the other members of the Squad, steadily progressing on his path to becoming a muscle-brained warrior.
The birth of a healing factor who races across the battlefield!
After completing the life-threatening training imposed by Rose, which required her to survive in a forest filled with vicious monsters, Usato finally enters the battlefield as a frontline healer. However, just before she enters the battlefield, a mysterious beast girl shows her a disturbing vision of Kazuki and Suzune being killed on the battlefield. However, thanks to that vision, she successfully rescues Kazuki and Suzune, achieving great success as a frontline healer.
Usato turns red as he mixes with the crimson
Thus, trained by Rose, the most fearsome muscle-brained healing magician, Usato races across the battlefield, healing his allies and sometimes speaking with his fists while healing himself with healing magic. Since then, Usato has continued to train, attaining extraordinary strength and becoming a veritable muscle-brained warrior, resolving most problems with brute strength. He also no longer hesitates to intimidate others with his villainous facade, just like Rose and his fellow rescuers, and has become immersed in the rescue squad in body and mind.
Usato: Weird, But Well-Likeable
Usato starts off by being a favorite of Rose, the leader of the rescue squad, and tends to be liked by a variety of strange people. Since joining the rescue squad, he has gained confidence, and his gentle personality means he's almost never disliked by anyone. However, when the time comes, he can display Rose's muscle-brained thinking and intimidation, which has led to a fair number of people fearing him.
Blue Grizzly Baby, Bullling, Joins the Team
Rose forces Usato to a dangerous forest where he's forced to survive, inhabited by a dangerous grizzly bear. Usato ends up being chased by a Grand Grizzly and a Blue Grizzly, but there he discovers a dangerous giant snake that can instantly kill the grizzly bears. Usato teams up with a baby blue grizzly, whose orphan has been killed, to fight the snake. The baby blue grizzly then becomes attached to Usato, and Rose arranges for him to be taken along, naming him Bullling.
Beat the Black Knight Ferm and make him join the Rescue Corps
During the battle against the Demon King's army, the Black Knight defeated Kazuki and Suzune with his overwhelming powers. However, when Usato arrived to help, he accidentally exploited a weakness in his powers, defeating him and capturing him. Inside the large, rugged armor is a young demonic girl, barely a teenager. After her magical powers are sealed, she is forced to join the Rescue Corps and undergoes grueling training. Originally a weak girl who relied solely on her abilities, she developed a rivalry with Usato and was constantly trained by Rose.
Leaving the Kingdom with Amako, the Time-Singing Beastman
Before Usato went to battle, it was Amako, a time-singing beastman with the ability to see into the future, who showed him a vision of Kazuki and Suzune being killed. In fact, the vision Amako showed Usato was so important that it could determine the fate of the country. If Usato had been unable to save Kazuki and Suzune, the war situation would have quickly turned and the kingdom would have been destroyed. Amako was searching for someone who could use healing magic and who was willing to travel abroad to help her mother. Luckily, Usato was traveling abroad at the request of the king, and Amako ended up accompanying him.
Nea, a half-necromancer, half-vampire, makes a contract with him!?
During his journey, Usato stopped off in a village that was in dire straits due to a zombie infestation. After hearing the story of the village girl Nea and the village chief, Usato attempts to defeat the necromancer responsible, but it turns out that the village girl Nea was the mastermind behind it all. Nea is half necromancer, half vampire, and possesses advanced magical abilities. However, her true nature is not evil; she is a lonely person who has lived a life of enduring loneliness and boredom. After discovering the true identity of the mastermind, Usato and his friends realize that Nea's true nature is good and try to overlook it. However, obsessed with Usato, who helps her alleviate her boredom, she forcibly makes a familiar contract with him and becomes his familiar, accompanying Usato and his friends.
