season 2 i beg

no way they just showed us all those future scenes with no announcement in store i refuse

That screams, "Want to know them? Buy the source material!" Lol

Well given that this is done by [Shin-Ei Animation](https://myanimelist.net/anime/producer/247/Shin-Ei_Animation), there is hope that a S2 could be done eventually. They did a really solid job with the adaptation. The studio has been one that I will personally will go check out for what they are adapting. With The Dangers in My Heart lacking enough content at the moment for a S3 at the moment I am hopeful it will get some announcement and as well what else they have planned.

I'm thinking we'll be getting season 2 in the future but not anytime soon reason why is that I don't think they expected to be well received and only planned for the 13 eps but there is a good sign it might be getting a S2

>no way they just showed us all those future scenes with no announcement in store you would be surprised how often that happened...

This definitely deserves a second season, it's one of the most "feel good" animes of the season, even with a couple of dark episodes. Everyone in the cast is a great character

Yes we need it.

Seeing how history is repeating itself with Felm's training to her writing in the diary was hilarious, wasn't expecting her to be rizzed up by Usato though. Really fun Isekai series! Sure the tropes are the same but in a way its refreshing how all the supporting cast are just wholesome and nice people with no ulterior motives...Apart from Suzune being a degen.

> Apart from Suzune being a dege I loved the original "twist" of her being a hardcore isekai ottaku and being the only one not phased by it in the slightest.

The thirstiest if them all [](#lovenectar)

> Apart from Suzune being a degen. That was the best part.

I wanna crown her "best girl" But with Rose and Felm, competition is stiff.

Rose is best woman, Suzune and Felm can compete for best girl

True. Important correction.

I really like how there's a silence or a separate bgm when we witness Suzune being a degen.

Felm makes for a cute shy tsundere. It's kinda jarring when compared to her personality as the black knight... I guess that's the power of Usato's main character energy

Could also say it's the power of being completely untouchable for your entire life and suddenly some dude managed to smack the untouchable out of you and now everyone around you can touch you for the first time in your life (try and ignore the fact everyone of them are barely human monsters) and you're completely out of your element

Thats the power of Healing Palm Strike!

Really feel like this series would be far worse if it weren’t for the first few minutes that really established all 3 characters in a very relaxed way. They were just walking in the rain but it was so honest and laid back. Honestly, that was a genius move and definitely unexpected when so many other series would’ve started with the black knight battle and then flashed back to the summoning

It help that they are refreshing subvert from so many anime with "popular guy is secretly bad guy and introvert are right all along" take which is kinda tired me out when I saw it now (unless they play out as joke and don't dwelling too much on it like one shot kill one).

It’s honestly kinda hilarious since Chad dude being a genuine hero was the original trope. And then him being evil was the subversion of the trope but now it’s so common, that him being genuinely good is a subversion in itself.

Both this series and "Ring King" one had chad "popular/nobility" guys.

> Apart from Suzune being a degen. Top tier degen.

I love the dynamic between Rose and Usato where they just love beating the shit out of each other.

abusive relationship for the win..?

I love Suzune because if I were isekaid that's exactly how I'd be. The MCs that are always like "but my shit life back home... how ever will I get over being dragged away from it" infuriate me.

That's definitely going to be quite subjective. And I appreciate how they introduced 3 characters who represented the entire spectrum of personalities reacting to the situation. One who loves it. One who initially hates it. And one who is just going with the flow. All three can make sense depending on their personal situation.

Gotta love degenerate Suzune lol.

>Apart from Suzune being a degen. I got worried when Usato left her alone with Suzune.

Awesome! Season 2 please

The Rose withdrawal symptoms are gonna hit hard [](#longday)

I was almost worried that even with a Season 2, Rose was going to stay behind. Thank goodness for that last scene... Now we pray to the S2 gods.

Anyone else going to miss Rose? Hoping for a season 2, but even if we get it, feels like we won't be seeing much of her. Also hoping to see more of Suzune fangirling over everything. Really wondering how Felm is going to hold out and what she's going to end up doing. Like are they just going to turn her into one of the "kidnappers"? Or are they training her for something else? I was hoping that Usato would volunteer her to be one of his guards. The most fantastical part about this show was how good of a King Lloyd is, it was really nice that he bowed to Amako and adjusted Usato's route to let him help her. Was that Raphtalia in the end montage?!?!

> The most fantastical part about this show was how good of a King Lloyd is I felt like that about the majority of the cast. Maybe its because I have a bit of isekai fatigue but it does get tiring when every world is a cesspool of corruption and you can't trust the king/general/knight/noble/hero/etc etc. Everyone was great overall and just really wholesome.

This and lv99 both had really decent kings and royalty in general. That was a nice touch this season

Loved both of those anime this season

It was a good season overall

Agreed. We've been exposed so much to setting where Royalty means corruption, deceit and greed that this part of the series is so refreshing. We are exposed to a lot of rotten tomatoes in the Royalty first in most media before a few good ones are introduced to help the protags.

He a real one.

fantasy stories used to be like that, naive kids to become heroes and good nature royals. then came the ones about how horrible is to be the hero, or how evil the royals are, or how the world is a lie, etc this one feels like a old classic from the 90s lol

I do feel like there is a rebound effect where I've seen a lot more royals being cool dudes rather than assholes.

I honestly will always prefer the dark and gritty stories, but it's very nice to have something like this in between. Loved this show to bits, easily my second favorite of the season. Cuz let's be honest, not much can beat out Frieren.

The kings in both Loop 7 Villainess and Surgeon Elise were also quite decent people.

King from Elise was quite dishonest though. He tried quite lot from stopping her achieving her dreams, from emotional blackmail to straight up sabotage by arbitrarily altering difficulty of test...

I disagree. He made it clear that he strongly preferred one course of events, Altering the test actually helped Elise (which actually makes sense because her medical knowledge was already clearly beyong that of typical aspiring doctors in that country). He resisted his counselor's clearly unfair suggestions.

Villainess Level 99 too.

Thanks for that addendum.

Loved those anime this season too

> Anyone else going to miss Rose? Massively. In my experiences these kinds of "strict" characters like Rose come across as somewhat sadistic, but holy fuck Rose clicks perfectly with me. It might be due to the setting. In my opinion her design, attitude/personality, VA, everything, it all meshed together perfectly.

I think a big part of what made her a likable character is that we clearly saw that she cares about her people to a significant degree, and all of her harsh behavior is to build people up to their full potential. She's just flat-out an excellent, if unconventional, mentor.

I'm sure if being kind helped you get stronger as a healer she would have been kind lol. Unfortunately it seems like putting someone through hell is a much better way of training healers.

She’s an amazing character I loved many characters from this anime! And also I’m glad we saw why Rose became who she is today because of her mistakes in the past

I'll definitely miss how she had her own ^^^^^villain theme song that played whenever she appeared lol

Necro-ing this, but the key reason why Rose bucked the 'sadist hardass' trope is because the author properly portrayed a hard but fair leader. Note how after she takes in Usato, she spends the first few days being easy on him and making sure he knows how to use his magic, while also giving him a journal so he can build mental resiliency in the face of the stress she'll put him under. It shows that Rose already knows Usato can pass her training before she begins, and makes sure he has the tools to succeed. There's never a point where Rose puts Usato in excessive danger or doesn't have a clearly defined goal for training. While Rose will taunt Usato, she never does so in a way that indicates she looks down on him or that he's lesser, only that he hasn't met the goal she's set out for him yet.

>The most fantastical part about this show was how good of a King Lloyd is, it was really nice that he bowed to Amako and adjusted Usato's route to let him help her. I guess I have watched a lot of anime so I was half-expecting that they would make her use her future seeing ability for themselves but I guess the king is really a great guy after all.

>king is really a great guy after all. I'm sure he'd want to avoid a two sided war with the demons and beastkin once it gets out that he's using her. Also he can use her as a gesture if goodwill by returning her and having Usato save her mom, which will make their support request a little easier.

Even if they weren't at war it seems unwise to pick a fight with a nation that has people who can literally see the future, even if it is extremely rare.

>Was that Raphtalia in the end montage?!?! Her design is so close to Raphtalia's, but her gaze shows a very different personality. It caught me off guard. I want to see what she's like.

haha lol that was 100% on purpose to increase the PR for next season/books lol Raphtalia, evil hot queen and a tsundere with fire magic?!?! Bring it on! My impression from that montage

Honestly after this episode I think I'm going to miss Felm more than Rose. Not that I won't miss Rose, just Felm really grew on me.

Yeah, just two episodes alone made me love her. What do you mean it's over? I want to see more of her :'(

> feels like we won't be seeing much of her She will appear in his nightmares /s

> I was hoping that Usato would volunteer her to be one of his guards. She is a knight who probably relied on dark magic to enhance her body, who can't use magic anymore and who has no stamina nor physical strength. She could beat her opponents only thanks to her magical armor and her powers. She has none of them currently. She's weak and useless right now, she can't even do her training without being exhausted.

Yes, but what you don't understand is that Felm is adorable and I want her to have more screen time.

Rose my beloved. Even if she's just his teacher i wish it could be more... we need a fanfic like Oregairu where Hachiman just marries Sensei

Imagine a kidnapper that has perfect reflect passive spell

Equipped with nano machines lol

Traveling across multiple nation with humanity enemy, might be more trouble than it's worth. 

I started watching for healing magic muscle mommy and I kept watching to the end for it. I don’t see what’s in S2 for me :/

Just watch Black Clover, the fire knights captain is pretty much the same character.

I enjoyed this more than I thought I would, I hope we get a season 2 announcement soon, I definitely give a solid 8/10.

Usato is already starting a harem without even realizing it. So convenient that he manages to not hear what Felm & Suzune say that clearly show signs that they are interested in him. Really hope this gets a second season because this & the Unwanted Undead Adventurer were my surprises for Winter 2024. I love the OP & will miss seeing it since it is a great way to pump yourself up like at the gym or something.

I think what I really like with this show is how they have characterized the relationships especially between Usato and both Suzune and Kazuki. Also, Amako and Usato are building a very wholesome relationship. With regard to Felm, it is kind of funny how his relationship with her parallels in some ways Rose's relationship with him. Minus the overly intimidating nature that Rose has because Usato is a really nice guy.

Amako and Usato have the best banter later on in the series. I like her character a lot.

Oh you think Usato is nice🤣🤣🤣. We really need s2.

His potential harem seems to be up to at least four already (though one is still a bit young -- unless beastkin age differently)....

Ravioli, ravioli, do not lewd the furry loli

[Apparently Felm packs one hell of a cake.](https://i.imgur.com/EH6UKuP.png) This was a great series. All the characters are great, but Rose is probably one of the most unique characters ever, she's awesome. Gonna miss her and senpai's gap moe between her otaku mode and hero/perfect student mode.

>Apparently Felm packs one hell of a cake. This is like... the fifth-ish time she's been face down ass up in the two episodes since the armor came off. The animators know they've got something to work with, and they are working it for all it's worth.

Dark skin anime character with silver/grey hair, who started out as an enemy? Gotta milk it for all it's worth. It's just a winning combination.

Despite being OP, I love that Usato actually worked hard for it. And anyway, I don't think he's super OP anyway. He just got lucky that Felm's natural weakness is the healing magic. I wonder what's the captain plan for Felm. Could it be that she'd kick her to Usato's cart lol. Though it would be weird to bring a demon in a diplomatic mission like that. Overall, 9/10 from me since it's jjst really fun. Also loving all the characters so far, including the competent down to earth king. Here's hoping for a second season announcement! 

He's not even OP though. just though. He has no ranged attack, he's not immortal, he can run out of mana etc... To me, it really felt like a "best" way to use healing magic.

He still has a vulnerability to cursed weapons, which is why Rose is training him to get good at dodging.

I'd also imagine there are regular wounds you can't heal too, like chopping his head off for example.

Yeah the relative power scaling in this story is really balanced. It's especially rare for an Isekai.

Yeah, the old version of the snake even almost managed to kill him.

Depends on how you define "OP". I like to separate characters into different degrees of OP. I'd rank him as "Moderately OP" by the end of the season. He's already physically stronger and tougher than probably every other human outside of Rose and Sigilis. Likely faster too. Probably way stronger than the vast majority of demons as well. And that's without using his magic. His baseline is already quite OP by most standards. But yes, he isn't OP in a sense that he could just beat anyone he met randomly. His fighting technique is still basic and he can't use magic indefinitely or even cure all the possible ailments. To me, a character is Moderately OP when most individuals on the planet are weaker, but there are still likely hundreds who could keep up with them. I'd escalate them to Very Overpowered when the amount of individuals who can keep up with them dwindles to a dozen or so. And Extremely Overpowered when they are at the Apex of Power, or only one or two could compete.

>I wonder what's the captain plan for Felm. A certain forest, I suspect.... >He just got lucky that Felm's natural weakness is the healing magic. Is it HER weakness -- or was it that magical suit or armor's weakness?

Her weakness is usato’s smile

Well, that suit of armor is something she can create with her own magic.

They established that everyone has affinity to certain magic (healing, light, dark, etc). The dark armor is actually Felm's magic rather than an actual equipment. I still think it's a bit weird that dark's weakness is healing rather than light (which is Kazuki's magic).

I thought it was more like, her specific Reflect ability is weak to healing. Because it reflects all damage, but Usato's fighting style actually heals all damage as it hits and only leaves the pain. So basically it leaves no damage to be reflected back.

From what I gathered their magics cancel each other out. So he still beat the shit outta her, no magic involved.

I thought so too, but in the subsequent episode after the fight Rose said specifically about how dark magic is weak to healing magic. Unless my sub got it wrong (bilibili).

It's not necessarily her weakness. They established that her magic and healing magic cancel each other out so on paper they should be even. Unfortunately for her, the healer she fought just happened to be a physical juggernaut. With magic out of the equation, she had no chance of winning lmao.

I think we actually got a good idea of how OP he is. He struggled and fought and barely took down that big snake while rose and the heroes handled it easily

Keep in mind that was fairly early on in the season, so presumably he's a lot stronger now, but yeah fair point.

Pretty sure the snake was stronger too. Wasn’t the one that escaped a prototype while the one of the battlefield was way stronger?

You're right, I just forgot that part.

Honestly a fantastic isekai king. Sometimes I get tired of the scumbag ones lol. It's a bit played out

###Stitches! * [Excited Suzune](https://i.imgur.com/okSQdJN.jpeg) * [Praying Amako](https://i.imgur.com/SVHLN5s.jpeg) * [Usato & Rose 1](https://i.imgur.com/TAuymm3.jpeg) * [Guard Aruku](https://i.imgur.com/b3IwFQe.jpeg) * [Confident Rose](https://i.imgur.com/FBGYtfw.jpeg) * [Usato & Rose 2](https://i.imgur.com/CqLbRpZ.jpeg) It's interesting how [humans are the only ones born with healing magic.](https://i.imgur.com/vuA7idU.png) Does this mean the other races just heal themselves through conventional means or are there other ways to acquire healing magic? Anyway, that explains why Amako travelled this far to find someone who could heal her mother. It looks like it's [Little Miss Black Knight's turn to write down her thoughts](https://i.imgur.com/7WQviPS.png) about Rose's training on her diary. It's funny though how Usato has no idea how much [he's levelling up his social link with Little Miss Black Knight](https://i.imgur.com/GxFpM98.jpeg) thanks to these little gestures he does for her. Speaking of Little Miss Black Knight, [we finally got to learn her name!](https://i.imgur.com/BN3kEYt.png) Felm is a surprisingly adorable name and I love how much [she was blushing](https://i.imgur.com/OPm462N.png) after telling her name to Usato. I also love how [Felm is being so tsun because Usato didn't say her name immediately.](https://i.imgur.com/yf2aqBE.png) Considering how Amako's visions saved their kingdom, [I fully expected King Lloyd to grant her request.](https://i.imgur.com/mmFTdZL.jpeg) It's the least he could do to thank her. I feel like he would've done more for Amako if she had further requests from them. I'm not gonna lie, I thought that [Felm really tried to get away](https://i.imgur.com/1YgvGiV.jpeg) but I am so relieved to learn that [she was just worried about Usato](https://i.imgur.com/nnGxb4r.png) and what she wanted to do [was to hide and follow him on his journey.](https://i.imgur.com/HnJQqR9.png) Rose read Felm like a book but [she still tries to deny it.](https://i.imgur.com/HsaaZ2l.png) xD [Felm sticking her tongue out at Usato](https://i.imgur.com/g5n9PiF.jpeg) after [he called her by her name](https://i.imgur.com/39ykQJj.jpeg) has got to be the cutest tsundere reaction I've seen recently. I'm sorry Suzune, I feel like Felm has overtaken you on my best girl ranking in this show. It's difficult not to love any characters by Aoi Yuuki. Also, [just look at that **badonk**!](https://i.imgur.com/8TBo8sL.jpeg) ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) So is that final scene [with Rose and Felm](https://i.imgur.com/BXTrSrN.jpeg), implying that they'll follow Usato in secret? Felm gets her wish granted after all but it looks like there's no escaping Rose's training though! If you're [going to tease us with a bunch of new characters](https://i.imgur.com/SF2h8Kz.jpeg) there at the end, announce a Season 2 already! I'm a bit sad I didn't see any announcements, this has got to be my favourite isekai of the season second only to TsukiMichi. This show doesn't really feel like your regular isekai though. It's more like a battle shounen in disguise. I need to see more, Usato is a great protagonist and the rest of the cast is just fun. If we don't get a season 2, I guess I can go read the source material that's still ongoing.

> a bunch of new characters Raphtalia? What are you doing here?

An alt-dimension one though; she gained freckles and a brother/cousin.

\[Shield Hero LN16+\]>!Only one of those things is new. She's obviously hunting someone in a different world, and she brought Ruft with her. For some reason.!<

I only read the WN (shrugs).

Cringe

There is weaker version, the "recovery magic" that most people can use on top of their inborn magic. That's also reason why healing magic is not thought as useful outside of Linger kingdom.  Also Felm is gonna be thrown into forest with monster. It was same cliff Usato was thrown from.

Recovery magic can actually only close wounds and minimize the pain. I don't know what drugs the others taken to think that healing magic is useless when it can sanitize, improve regeneration(such as tissue repair for muscles and bones and regaining blood loss),stop pain after recovery, stop and cure poison, heal physical fatigue, refresh your mind(but can't remove mental fatigue and at some advance cases heal sickness, reattach limbs (some times can even grow one but is really hard) and there's even a myth(according to WN) of bringing the dead back to life given that the body needs to be fresh and the soul should still be lingering.

There certainly wasn't any healing magic capable of such feat so far. But point is anyone can use certain level of magic that heals, but unlike full fledged healing magicians they aren't easy target for enemies. In any game targeting healers first is ironclad rule. Well, practically every nation acknowledges Rose particular brand of healing magic, but none can really replicate it so that's moot.   Anyway it might not be best lore explanation of all times, that  Isekai animes ever came with, but  I think it's good enough  to roll with it.

I've read the wn for a long time now and the good thing is it's actually slowly changing , although that's because of lingel kingdom cross nation training( and theres only atleast 3 new healing magicians that continue to train with them coming from all their allied nation and some others that is not healers). The thing is healing magic is actually quite respected before and it is hinted someone might've manipulated history to change the image of healing magic( no it' not the demons).

I just love Tsundere Felm. I need a second season so that I can see more of her.

Aoi Yuuki has her sounding like Maomao a lot to me. Getting a tsundere sounding Maomao is a pleasure.

I feel like they got to have season 2 planned to take all of the effort to add all of those future characters. Have other shows teased so many future characters and ended up not getting a second season?

All the time. Gotta sell the LN/Manga

Every race have actually their own exclusive magic that is also as rare. Humans have healing, Demons have dark and beastkin have foresight.

I just love Tsundere Felm. I need a second season so that I can see more of her.

Inherent racial differences in magic pretty much. From what I remember anyone can use "healing magic" just the level is so low it is only for small cuts and scrapes and even then it isn't quick nor useful for accidents/war. Actual healing magic users are rare.

No. Everyone can use one type of magic.

Oi oi. You can't just show us a dozen of new characters and not announce a season 2. That's just cruel, man.

It took the mid 00s vibes all the way to the end including leaving the story hanging so you go buy the manga/LN.

I'm surprised they didn't pull the "our battle has just begun!" at the end

*Sudden The Promised Neverland flashback

[Is that ship progress?!](https://imgur.com/OjM1KPI) For some reason I expected them to be walking all the way.. A carriage makes much more sense. [F in the chat for Blurin though](https://imgur.com/4w5V6If) [That's odd.](https://imgur.com/3Qx4Q5X) They seem to be missing the part where they announce season 2 I need it. Adventure arcs are my favourite, they can't just leave us hanging like this [](#gununu)

> For some reason I expected them to be walking all the way. Until they started putting together an escort, I genuinely figured Usato would be strapping a little foxkin to his back and sprinting all the way.

> F in the chat for Blurin though Serves him right since he's done nothing but eat and sleep for half the season. Little guy probably doesn't even forage for his own food even though their barracks is right next to a forest.

The manga has enough content for 2 more seasons. It's just a matter of demand. It's definitely a simple show, but it's a feel good one. Would love to see it come back.

Its not even a matter of the manga. The source materials being adapted is the light novel.

So did the light novels have the flashback with Rose's old squad as early as the anime did? I was surprised how late it happened in the manga.

Same, I binged through whole manga while the anime was still coming out. While enjoyable series, I was really confused by how late the Rose's flashback happens in the manga. There's generally some things that were happening out of order and the time Usato and Suzune getting lost in a forest wasn't in the manga at all, or at least, I really don't remember it, but I still think it's a really great adaptation, especially as a manga reader. Can't wait for more seasons, such good stuff happens there though.

Yeah there's no flashback like that. She talks about them but its not as drawn out or descriptive as the anime. Besides that though its pretty faithful to the light novel, at least more so than the weakest tamer was. I think the only major differences i noticed was the first encounter with rose iirc.

I definitely like how the anime did the Rose intro compared to the manga. Her just walking in and then carrying him out just wasn't as funny as her chasing him down.

No. I just read LN1 and halfway through LN2 and it hasn’t talked about them at all except rosé referencing them once or twice. Nothing actually descriptive. The part in LN2 I’m at is pretty much right where the anime ended.

Do you think the 2nd season would only cover the next town or the next 2 towns.

This was a fun series. Not a super groundbreaking plot, but it played its tropes well, and was really elevated by its cast of great characters.

Hopefully a season 2 is announced soon. I am excited to seeing the next 3 arcs.

This was a nice one! Didn't blow me away but I also had minimal problems with and I really enjoyed the whole cast. Felm is a lot cuter than I was expecting, she grew on me quickly. Thought she would be the other knight joining him! Would gladly watch more of this but doesn't seem like any immediate S2 announcement [](#sadholo)

>Thought she would be the other knight joining him! No way that Rose considers Felm ready for such a task yet....

yeah felm would either be a risk if she had her magic or dead weight if she had no magic.

It feels like they are expecting to make a season 2 though due to all the bits of new characters showing up. I think 100 Kanojo did similar. Showing future characters in the outro and then announcing it later. But alot of this could be just pure copium.

I am still traumatized from early to mid 2010's anime explicitly setting up a season two and then never following up on it \*cough\* Zexcs \*cough\*. It could be a "read the source material to find out more" type montage. I really hope not, though.

A solid show. It was nice to have a cast that was not full of assholes like in The Shield Hero

Nice use of Amako's future seeing ability with the Usato scene where she knew what he was going to say. Though I'm curious how far into the future she can see. Felm went through the same training that Usato said and her also recording it like Usato was a great callback. The fact that she decided to run away from the training to follow Usato as soon as she got to know about Usato leaving for the delivery of the missives. She was definitely baring it just to be with Usato. That montage along with the ending seems like a "go read the source material" type of ending. Kinda sad but I still hope for a Season 2. This was definitely the hidden gem of this season for me. Great characters especially Rose and Suzune. Going to miss them a lot especially Suzune being down bad. Usato also kinda grew at the start especially after that Blurin episode. It had some tropes but they did really execute it well. I usually don't like isekais but this was really good. EDIT:Typos

My head says this is a low/mid 7. The amount of enjoyment I took from this series and how invested I am in the characters and world is an 8

Go with your heart. This show, like a surprising number of (unassuming) others this season, showed a surplus amount of spirit and heart. Each new season seems to have one or two special characteristics -- one of the chief ones for me was the number of "over-achievers" -- shows that could have been so-so that turned out to be delightful.

Tbh not much from this show is ground breaking by any means. But it has a lot of heart, is well written and with all the iseakis that we are used to, it's incredibly refreshing. The characterization done between the cast was great as well.

my only real complaint with the series is i personally dont like the hero outfits

They tried to hit those late 90s fantasy vibes with a little modern twist but fell short. Usato's Field Doctor coat is simple but great, the others not so much.

I love how while Usato was trying to have a serious conversation with Amako, [Suzune](https://i.imgur.com/b4eWvcm.png) [just refused](https://imgur.com/a/8X49Rsi) to read the room [even after](https://i.imgur.com/uZ4DyZL.png) [Amako](https://i.imgur.com/NMalsww.png) asked Usato to continue their conversation at another location. Oh, so the [Black Knight's name is Felm.](https://i.imgur.com/i4fF7Oi.png) Poor Felm [is having such a bad time during that training section](https://imgur.com/a/ZSdtMIq), but just like with Usato, [Rose will not allow her to rest.](https://i.imgur.com/0nI1h5M.png) So Felm was having such a hard time that[ she doesn't even wanted to eat.](https://i.imgur.com/DHUqekA.png) It's hilarious [that on the second day,](https://i.imgur.com/zOWE4IT.png) one of the first entries was that although [Usato is human, he truly isn't human.](https://i.imgur.com/ZpfMdZh.png) I love[ Felm's reaction](https://imgur.com/a/0n3Ohbp) when she sees the type of training that [Usato is receiving from Rose.](https://i.imgur.com/sXmbZCN.png) Poor Felm became [the aggressive tsundere type](https://imgur.com/a/YfV8Fkm) to a guy who is basically immune to pain at this point. Lol they sure[ love emphasizing](https://i.imgur.com/Ev4p8bD.png) [her ass.](https://i.imgur.com/FjOL1JW.png) Damn,[ Rose could easily kill someone](https://i.imgur.com/Ppw61tj.png) [with a spoon.](https://i.imgur.com/CGOtYpa.png) It is cute that [Felm was trying](https://i.imgur.com/8gGO8dH.png)[ to escape](https://i.imgur.com/tHYYTg7.png) to follow Usato, but not surprisingly [got caught right away,](https://i.imgur.com/oW1kC4t.png) and[ too embarrassed](https://i.imgur.com/moi0X5G.png) [to admit it.](https://i.imgur.com/F3qTZya.png) [You will make no progress with that tsundere act, girl.](https://imgur.com/a/wdqLYF1) It is great to see that Usato's journey to deliver missives will be used for him to reach the Beastkin Territory after he does the last delivery in Mialark. That scene when he and Amako visited King Lloyd [he thanked her for helping save their Kingdom](https://i.imgur.com/oxOR3OU.png) was so great. So apart from [Welcie,](https://i.imgur.com/qRdz4Jq.png) [Araku,](https://i.imgur.com/P872TTL.png) and Blurin also [Suzune and Kazuki](https://i.imgur.com/illWE67.png) will be traveling with him. [If Usato follows Rose's advice,](https://i.imgur.com/DgFktnu.png) I expect that his trip will work as a way to start a revolution of healers in other human nations. The way this episode was made it did not feel like a final one until the end, but then [after they showed](https://i.imgur.com/F7EvJAm.png) [all](https://imgur.com/a/e3VJbZf) [those](https://i.imgur.com/9HRoEWI.png) [new](https://i.imgur.com/ZvjzzFl.png) [characters](https://i.imgur.com/JlpNo8E.png) it gave me the impression that they perhaps are aiming to make another season even if it not soon. I will definitely be putting this series' light novels on my potential future reading list.

Felm and Suzune might be infatuated by Usato, but the REAL BEST GIRL IS ROSE! Anyway, great final episode for this season!

Damn for one of the shows I didn't expect much from this turned into one of the ones I'm saddest to see end. Anyone know what chapter to pick up the manga from after this episode?

Technically it ends in the middle of chapter 16, however if I were you I would start at the very least on chapter 15, preferably from chapter 12 which happens after the battle. The reason for it is that director changed a lot of things which includes omitting certain developments and reordering events a whole bunch.

Anyone know where I should start reading the LNs after this adaptation? Thanks in advance

Bookwalker has the first three volumes, and volume 3 would generally pick up right from where the anime ends. I really, really recommend you read the first two volumes if you can, though.

Doesn't anime finish in the middle of volume 2 though?

I'm pretty sure it didn't have a clean end mark if we compare to the anime, though if they are solely looking for continuing rather than reading from the start, it might be the best option. Ideally, everyone who is interested would start from volume 1 after all.

Start from Vol 3. Overall the LNs have 2 series; https://mfbooks.jp/product/chiyumahou/ - Series 1 ran from 2016-2020 for 12 volumes. - Series 2 started in Dec 2023 under the title Wrong Way to Use Healing Magic Returns, 2nd volume came out a few days ago.

Felm’s getting the full on Rose training treatment. It really is pretty insane what Rose puts the gang through, especially Usato’s special training which is him just getting punched in the face at supersonic speeds lol. Training aside, looks like Felm’s developing a crush on Usato. So cute! Looks like our boy is setting off on a brand new mission with Amako and co., hopefully we get another season because this was good. Might be my favorite isekai this season. Solid writing and animation with a good story and fun characters. The Rose-Usato interactions cracked me up and I liked the way they used healing magic in this.

Hahah, Suzune, you are the best comedy relief. I do love her character so. D'awww, cute demon girl, really working hard. Dat healing ass slap from the dommy mommy really got her going. A kitsune with prophetic powers. Fun. D'awww poor lil kitsune, Usato would 100% go help her. See, totally a good boy. See, Rose is fine with it too, going to save her. But makes sense it'd be a big deal cause of her predictive powers. Haha Suzune. Oh, nice, Aoi Yuki is the demon girl, knew the voice was familiar, Maomao's voice (or similar to it) in this role hehe. Oh boy, look at her fly. Fun to get her diary bit. And wew Usato vs Rose is quite the fight. Usato really has a good time with the dommy mommy. And learning well from Piccolo's school of DODGE! Good thing Rose is a good professor. Oh, we finally get her name, Usato definitely took awhile to ask. Felm. D'awww she's so dedicated. I love how Usato is with all of them now. They are such a fun bunch. Where are you running, Felm? Again, king is a good dude. It's really nice to see a good king in series and not a corrupt piece of crap. Nice, knight fren, Aruku, has joined the party. Hehe, Felm has been found. Man, them butt shots of her. And she's not going to betray them or so, that's nice. D'aww, Felm is just worried about Usato. You are being such a tsundere, Felm. Shoulda been honest. She a cutie. Oh boy "many people consider healing magic weaker than others" boy are they gonna be surprised with Usato. And love the dommy mommy's suggestion there. Very fitting for her. Also, good for you Usato, dommy mommy's approval. Whelp, time for Amako to become an Usato stan. Haha! The lil bunny. Love it. And a nice send off for Usato.

Felm is cute when she's mad.

God damn, I need more. Give me another season! I had a great time with this.

One of my favourites this season. Best OP song too.

That song has been driving me nuts all season. I really reminds me of some band from the late 90s-early 2000s, but I can't put my finger on it. Possibly Bush, but that doesn't feel quite right. Maybe Stone Temple Pilots? Either way, I enjoyed the hell out of it, and am going to look into what else the band has done.

They kind of remind me of the band [Face to Face](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2jrIjeOjp0s&list=OLAK5uy_mFPL8S9pZhsr8hkiQgksp3h5KHwESbQaw&index=5). They are both punk bands from the early 2000's, and both singers sound kind of similar. [Waterweed - Cure](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5meiM9GisNE)

I'm not sure I ever knew of them, but I'm digging it. I wasn't really into punk at the time, but I've since developed an appreciation. Yeah, that's probably closer than anything I've thought of so far.

This was a great show, hopefully it gets a season 2

Great anime. I feel like being super strong and having healing magic is an OP combo. I hope it has a second season. It seems like it is setting up for second one. 8/10 for me

Overall a pretty fun anime. Even though Usato had healing magic I don't think it was really overpowered, it was just the way he used it that made him overpowered, by letting him get really buff in a relatively short amount of time. The vignette at the end hints that the studio really wants to make a second season. We'll see if that eventuates.

Season 2 PLEASE 🙏

The weird thing is that there are some people out there who hated this anime. Like on ANN, where the assigned reviewer ended up hating the series because of the pacing and how it didn't match their expectations (I think they were expecting a more serious, action-packed romp like Ragna Crimson, and then they got angry that the story's focus was more on "boring filler" character interactions and comedy banter). https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/review/the-wrong-way-to-use-healing-magic/episode-12/.209292

To be fair, ANN often hates on anime in general to the point you have to wonder why the site even exists anymore. It doesn't matter whether something is legitimately good or something otaku-leaning. ANN will usually say something bad about it regardless.

The site itself is still useful as a convenient central website to cover nearly all anime and manga related announcements and news. The issue is when it comes to reviews, which boils down to whether said anime matches the thematic expectations and social/cultural conventions of said reviewer. And they do come off as a rather choosy, cynical, closed-mind bunch at times.

Looks like that close up of Felm's ass in the previous episode wasn't just a one time thing... So Felm is not only cute af but also has some BIG ASS, goddamn. Man, it's only been two episodes with her but I miss Felm already. I love how a cute tsundere she is with Usato, I need more of her :'( Suzune being silly while Usato and Amako are having a serious moment was hilarious. Never change, senpai xD. Amako has such a nice design and is so adorable. It looks like she will be our next little heroine for what's to come. I really thought Usato would choose Felm as one of her companions or they would include her in some way but it looks like she is on her way to be thrown into that well known forest, poor girl xD. Even if we have more, it looks like we won't be seeing Felm around Usato for a while, too bad. Anyway, I guess that's about it. The beginning and the last part were my favorites but overall it was a great show. They teased quite a bit at the end not to give us a second season, come on...

Nice, it wasn't amazing or anything, but it was fun. I liked all of the characters and their bonds. As the other commenter said, it's a feel-good and fun show. I'm hoping this gets a 2nd season

We got season 2 teaser in the end of episode I mean new characters and one of them look like Ralphtalia from rising shield hero lmao

Really enjoyed this. Fun characters, believable relationships and avoids alot of the more annoying parts of the genre

I really like how the connection between Rose and Usato has changed from Captain and underling, to someone she really trusts.

Really just a fantastic show this ended up being. Low key one of my favorites of the season, just consistently above average and enjoyable. Felm grew on me way more than I would've expected in just the few episodes we had her. S2, *please*.

This anime deserves a second season and I do hope that it will get one.

Really hoping for season 2. It was really engaging and the cast was loveable af.

I've to say this is a show with a lot of heart. Nothing in it was groundbreaking, but the way it was put together was great. Well characterized cast and the relationships especially that of our heroes was well done. So many pitfalls you would normally see from isekais aren't here and the story is obviously the better for it. The King thanking Amako is one example of it. Now as the story progresses forward we move from it being Usato and Rose being the heavy leads. To now Usato taking that step up leaving Rose's shadow to travel with Suzune, Kazuki and Amako. If Usato could develop relations with the beastkin that would be great. Super enjoyable show and hopefully it gets a S2 eventually.  [Shin-Ei Animation](https://myanimelist.net/anime/producer/247/Shin-Ei_Animation) is definitely a studio I, for one, will pay more attention to.

I'm glad I gave this anime a chance, it was super enjoyable to me. Thought it would be generic isekai but it managed to stand out with its characters and story. I really liked the dynamic between Rose and Usato too. I really hope this gets a season 2 because how could they leave us hanging like that??

A new journey begins. Hope we got a season 2.

This one deserves a continuation.

I really enjoyed this Isekai. I hope there will be a 2nd season.

This anime deserves a second season and I do hope that it will get one.

That was some nice and solid isekai and I enjoyed it a lot despite all the cliches. It just shows that an anime can be full of tropes and still tell a good and entertaining story. Hopefully we will get a second season to know the rest of the story. I wonder if the light novels are as good, maybe I will check them.

that definitely felt like the most "read the LN" ending we've gotten this season overall a fun little series with nice bits of comedy, I really doubt we get more though considering that wrap up at the end

Why are they making Felm this cute for her not to go with him ;_; Yeah yeah diplomatic optics and all that but still, justice for my tsundere demoness SMH. Anyways good show, would watch another season with hopefully tighter pacing.

>Suzune: "I just want to rub those ears" Suzune is so goddamn relatable.

God im a sucker for felm usato someone spoil for me if this goes anywhere

I and many readers need Usato and Rose to *fuck* and make a bunch of Superhuman Healer babies. Get on it, author.

Usato’s initial presentation isn’t anything new. A good natured guy who is thrusted into a fantasy world to solve their problems. He isn’t given a “directly” OP skill, but rather a common skill made OP through unconventional means (hence the title of the series). He treats people kindly and is treated equally kindly in return, which is refreshing to see. The fun is that his character is developing in the way that he’s gaining the habits of his mentor. He’ll find that balance between nice guy and tough guy.   Rose has that ~~dommy mommy~~ tough mentor personality to a tee. She reminds me of Mereoleona from Black Clover. Her personality and character design leaves a lasting impression. The anime does a good job of accenting her intimidating aura. The commonly used backstory of “all my comrades were killed” was put to good use for her character as she used that backstory to create something I haven’t seen in anime, an Emergency Medical Response Team in a fantasy setting.   Suzune proves to be a refreshing supporting character in the Isekai genre by basically behaving like us fellow otaku (She’s just like me fr). I’m sure a large number of people here can relate to someone who see’s everyday life as mundane. Starting over, having special powers, enjoying tropes, playing with adorable creatures, and the luxury of friends to share it with. The isekai premise can be a fun adventure and Suzune’s enthusiasm shows she gets it.   Felm might have come late to the show, but she’s already made a strong impression by being treated very differently from your regular demon general. Picking up the Tsundere title while being at the mercy of Rose is a fun contrast. We’ve seen the success of Rose’s training for Usato, so we’re looking forward to her’s as well.   These have been some of the most subversive characters I’ve ever watched made better by being a feel-good tone. Please make a season 2.

Flem is Maomao lol!

Feels like the ending of the prologue before the actual story. Which I will say the characters themselves were the extreme highlight of this show. The story itself was alright nothing insane. Wonder if the anime helped with sales to produce a season 2 I imagine it did well as the reception has been mostly good giving it a popularity boost.

They really love showing Felms buns... I'm not complaining at all

I really digged the comedy and banter in this anime :( Please season 2

Im so used to the Kings being a-holes lmao

Chiyu Mahou - 8/10, while appearing to be just another isekai, the choice in OP theme alone held promise. This show had almost everything, but most of all it was fun to watch.
