Premise[edit]

Keyaru, who is exploited and sexually abused repeatedly by others due to being a healing magician, notices what lays beyond just his healing magic, and is convinced that a healing magician is the strongest class in the world. However, by the time he realizes his own potential, he is already deprived of everything. Thus, using his healing magic, enhanced by the magic enhancing properties of the Philosopher's Stone on the world itself, he goes back four years into the past, deciding to redo everything and get revenge on the ones who abused him.

Characters[edit]

Keyaru (ケヤル) / Keyarga (ケヤルガ, Keyaruga) Voiced by: Yūya Hozumi[2] (Keyaru/Keyarga), Yōko Hikasa[3] (Keara)The Healing Hero, who was blessed with the hero's insignia from the coming-of-age.

In the midst of the battle with the demon lord, Eve, Keyaru managed to retain himself finding the true nature of his power, and obtains the Philosopher's Stone. He then uses the item to travel back in time to exact revenge against his torturers.Flare Arlgrande Jioral (フレア・アールグランデ・ジオラル, Furea Ārugurande Jioraru) / Freia (フレイア, Fureia)Voiced by: Ayano Shibuya[2]The Magic Hero and the first princess of the Jioral Kingdom. Flare is the main source of Keyaru's suffering and merely sees him as a baggage carrier and drugs him so he would be receptive to her commands. Generally, she saw healing magicians as the lowest class in the magic world until Keyaru has proven otherwise and doesn't trust her with the Philosopher's Stone. In the alternate timeline, Keyaru tortures her, takes her powers, erases her memories, and alters her appearance and personality to become his companion and lover named Freia, all while deceiving everyone into thinking that Flare is dead. As Freia, she is lovable, kind, and obeys Keyarga's every command.Setsuna (セツナ)Voiced by: Shizuka Ishigami[2]A female demi-human slave that Keyaru buys and recruits into his party. Setsuna comes from the Ice Wolf clan whereas estranged from humanity and usually sold into slavery that defeats the purpose of equality in the Jioral Kingdom.

Her objective is to kill the current Demon Lord for trying to exterminate her brethren. When she completes the trials of Caladrius, her hair changes from black to silver.Norn Clatalissa Jioral (ノルン・クラタリッサ・ジオラル, Norun Kuratarissa Jioraru) / Ellen (エレン, Eren)Voiced by: Minami Tsuda[2]The second princess of Jioral Kingdom, and younger sister of Flare. Both sisters had a close relationship until Flare received a higher reputation for awakening as the Magic Hero and Flare belittles Norn. Compared to her big sister, Norn runs her kingdom in a sadistic and manipulative manner and aims to drive Flare out of the throne. Following Flare's absence, Norn meant to gain aid from neighboring kingdoms by exterminating all innocent demons, after her soldiers killed a friend that Keyarga got to know. She is the first to discover that Flare is still alive and is the only person who knows this. He and Freia halt her oppression plot and capture her. As he did with Flare, Keyarga erases Norn's memories and alters her appearance and personality to become his little sister named Ellen. As Ellen, she has a brother complex and views Freia as a "big sister."Kureha Clyret (クレハ・クライレット, Kureha Kurairetto)Voiced by: Natsuki Aikawa[2]A female knight of Jioral Kingdom, renowned as the Blade Goddess. Kureha owes Keyaru her gratitude for fixing her amputated arm from their first meeting. She initially opposes Keyaru's party, but allies with them after learning of her kingdom's atrocities.

Her constant flirting with Keyaru makes the other girls jealous.Bullet (ブレット, Buretto)Voiced by: Tetsu Inada[4]The Cannon Hero.

She has an intense homosexual infatuation that urges her to rape ideal girls to death. In the previous timeline, Blade would torment and physically beat up Keyaru every night for "touching" Flare to beset her frustration. Although she is one of Keyaru's torturers, Keyarga does not erase her memories and alter her appearance and personality like how he did to Flare and Norn.Anna (アンナ)Voiced by: Asuka Nishi[5]A villager from the same village as Keyaru. Anna provides Keyaru food and shelter since his parents' deaths. She encourages Keyaru to follow his belief in changing the world for the better. While Anna cares for Keyaru as her kid, he acknowledges her as his first love. Anna is presented as a normal young woman of medium height with waist-length light brown hair.Leonard (レナード, Renādo)Voiced by: Yasuaki Takumi (male), Eri Akiyama (female)The antagonistic captain of the Jioral Kingdom's knights who lacks any sense of sympathy and lashes at the imprisoned Keyaru for doing "nothing."Redra Gordoman (レドラ・ゴルドマン, Redora Gorudoman)Voiced by: Naomi KusumiA merchant in the city of Lanaritta.Karman (カルマン, Karuman)Voiced by: Reiou TsuchidaA store owner from the city of Branicca with whom Keyaru forms a close bond.Trist Organ (トリスト・オルガン, Torisuto orugan)Voiced by: Ryōtarō OkiayuA knight of Jioral Kingdom and one of the Three Champions of his nation.

Media[edit]

Light novels[edit]

The series was first published online in December 2016 on the user-generated novel publishing website Shōsetsuka ni Narō by Rui Tsukiyo. It was later acquired by Kadokawa Shoten, who published the first volume as a light novel under their Kadokawa Sneaker Bunko imprint in July 2017.[6]

On January 23, 2021, Tsukiyo tweeted in English, claiming that one overseas publisher refused to publish the series in English.

Anime[edit]

An anime television series adaptation was announced by Kadokawa in November 2019. The series was animated by TNK and directed by Takuya Asaoka, with Kazuyuki Fudeyasu handling series composition, and Junji Goto designing the characters.[6] The series aired for twelve episodes from January 13 to March 31, 2021, on Tokyo MX, KBS, AT-X, SUN, and BS11.[2][4][31] The opening theme is "Cruel Dreams and Sleep" (残酷な夢と眠れ, Zankoku na Yume to Nemure) performed by Minami Kuribayashi, while the ending theme is "If You Can Change the World in a Dream" (夢で世界を変えるなら, Yume de Sekai o Kaeru Nara) performed by ARCANA PROJECT.[32]

There are three different versions of the anime: a censored broadcast version, a streaming-exclusive "Redo" version, and an uncensored "Complete Recovery" version. All of the stations airing the anime carried the broadcast version. In addition to airing the broadcast version at 11:30 p.m. JST, AT-X aired the "Complete Recovery" version on the same morning at 4:00 a.m. JST.[5] The official Twitter account issued a content warning for the anime.[33] Sentai Filmworks has licensed the anime outside Asia and German-speaking regions.[1] Children's Playground Entertainment has licensed the series in Southeast Asia and is streaming it on Bilibili.[34]

Episode list[edit]

Reception[edit]

Light novel and manga[edit]

The light novel series has over 800,000 copies in print.[6] Both the light novel and the manga grew in their popularity, which led to an increase in digital sales. Several volumes of the manga also ranked in the top ten of Amazon Japan's manga charts.[38]

Anime[edit]

Since its airing, the anime adaptation of Redo of Healer gained higher than average percentage of female viewers and Tsukiyo expressed their surprise on Twitter.[39]

The reviewers criticized the series for having a "generic" fantasy role-playing game inspired setting similar to popular isekai series and for "contrived" in-story justifications for its revenge plot.[40]

Controversy[edit]

The anime adaptation garnered controversy due to its depiction of extreme violence, gratuitous amounts of sexual content and rape, and other content such as the treatment of female characters, cannibalism, slavery, and torture, all elements often being used as a plot device, especially in the first two episodes.[41] In Anime News Network's Winter 2021 Preview Guide, the series was panned by most of the reviewers for its recurring "rape and revenge", an aspect of the light novels that gained controversy before the anime premiere.
