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.

A young man, Keyaru, hears a voice inside his head directing him to a Star Spirit, who grants him the Halcyon Eye power to see all creation. In a previous life, Keyaru was a healing magician, but his power forced him to endure the painful memories of those he healed. He was captured, abused, and forced to heal his captors in battle. In secret, he grew stronger absorbing the experiences of his abusers and learned to use healing magic in unconventional ways. Eventually, he escaped, defeated a Demon Lord, and used her Philosopher's Stone to travel back in time four years in the past with the intention to get revenge on his abusers. With his past memories gained, Keyaru swears revenge on his main abuser, Princess Flare of the Jioral Kingdom. Flare, who has no memory of these events, senses his awakening and declares him the Recovery Hero. He is brought to the kingdom where they meet Proum Jioral, Flare's father and the cruel king of Jioral. Deciding not to blow his cover until Proum is gone due to how powerful he is, Keyaru takes advantage of the maids in the royal household who have sex with him. Keyaru regenerates the amputated arm of grateful swordswoman Kureha, but pretends to pass out. Flare callously orders the court magician to gain control of Keyaru, no matter how torturous the method. Confirming Flare is still as cruel as she was previously, Keyaru begins planning his revenge.

Pretending to be afraid of absorbing painful memories, Keyaru swears never to heal again and pretends to allow Flare to imprison and get him addicted to drugs, even allowing himself to be raped to further fool her. Flare begins forcing Keyaru to heal injured warriors, while Keyaru secretly copies magical abilities from them. When Proum is absent and Keyaru becomes immune to drugs, he uses his stolen abilities to escape and disguise himself as Leonard, Flare's Imperial Commander (having subdued the real Leonard and altered his face to resemble his own so that he gets captured and thrown into the dungeon in his place), and, once alone with Flare, removes his disguise and heals away her ability to use magic, rendering her defenseless and unable to walk. After repeatedly breaking then healing her fingers, Keyaru rapes Flare after removing her and his own clothes before he heals her in order to alter her appearance and memories. After healing a dead bodyguard's face to look like Flare, Keyaru frames Leonard before he escapes with the real Flare, tricking the entire kingdom into thinking that Flare was murdered by Leonard. Keyaru decides to target his other abusers, Bullet and Blade, before seeking out the Demon Lord he previously defeated to find out what she had been trying to protect when she died. With Flare now an amnesiac, Keyaru renames her Freia, convinces her she is his servant and lover while he changes his face and takes the hero name Keyarga the Healer, leaving his weak name Keyaru behind. The two then have sex and Freia, despite not being able to remember her past, pleads allegiance to Keyarga.

Keyarga decides he and Freia must leave the city. However, he also learns that Norn, Flare's younger, strategist, and sadistic sister, is returning to the city and he is determined to avoid her. Keyarga has a nightmare of his previous life: Every night, Flare would force him to pleasure her. Second, the Sword Heroine, Blade, would beat him for touching Flare before sexually assaulting him since she could not sleep with Flare herself. Finally, Bullet, the Gun Hero, would violently rape him, claiming to love him before choking him unconscious. They later arrive at Lanaritta, a lawless city dominated by criminals who prey on the poor. With Halcyon Eye, Keyarga detects the town's water is contaminated, making whoever drinks it sick. Using his own antibodies, Keyarga creates a cure from his blood and sells it to a merchant, promising to continue making more in exchange for half the profits. He next visits a slave trader and purchases a female ice wolf demi-human, noting that her rage has kept her conscious despite being infected and is interested in what will happen once she gets revenge against whoever she hates so much.

Keyarga examines the girl's memories and learns she wants revenge against the Jioral Kingdom because they are planning to take her village as slaves. Knowing the girl, Setsuna, has no warrior abilities, Keyarga offers to make her stronger using a skill stolen from another hero, but requires her true name to do it. Setsuna agrees, even though knowing her true name will give him control over her. To prove he can make her stronger, Keyarga has sex with Setsuna. Making their way to Setsuna's village, they find Jioral soldiers torturing prisoners. Keyarga disguises himself as a Sword Hero and kills them while Freia gives him covering fire. Setsuna gets revenge by killing the soldier who enslaved her. Afterward, Keyarga shows Setsuna that the ice wolves poisoned the water and gives her a choice: either make the poison strong enough to kill every human in Lanaritta or replace the poison with medicine. Setsuna chooses the medicine. They have sex again and Setsuna willingly tells Keyarga her true name. In Jioral, Norn returns and reveals that Keyarga altered Leonard's face to look like him to cover up his escape. Proum orders Leonard to find the real Keyarga.

After Keyarga has sex with both Freia and Setsuna, they return to Lanaritta where the merchant attempts to force Keyarga to reveal the formula for the cure so he can get the profits alone. Keyarga gives him a fake formula, pointing out to his companions that with the contaminated water cured, the illness will go away anyway. Kureha then appears and challenges him, believing that he attacked the Jioral soldiers at Setsuna's village unprovoked. After a grand sword battle, Keyarga wins by dousing her with an aphrodisiac (which she overcomes by stabbing her own leg) and then healing her mind to share the memories of the soldiers' atrocities against Setsuna's village, causing her to pass out. When she wakes up, he reveals he is Keyaru, the one who healed her arm, then brings in Freia whom he told to pretend to be Flare. "Flare" tells Kureha that Jioral is corrupt and Keyarga faked her death to save her life after Leonard found out about their scheme to expose Jioral's crimes. Struck with remorse over her mistake and exposed to the aphrodisiac again, Kureha offers her body and they have sex. She falls in love with him and he gloats that she will now do whatever he says. Meanwhile, Leonard is on their trail.

Freia and Setsuna become increasingly jealous of Keyarga and Kureha's relationship. The group learns troops led by Leonard have captured the inhabitants of Keyaru's village. Keyarga sends Kureha to investigate, then disguises himself and infiltrates Leonard's squad. When he learns Leonard had tortured and raped his childhood friend, Anna, an enraged Keyarga captures Leonard and transforms him into a woman before having his brainwashed squad gang rape him. He then kills them all by setting the room on fire. Keyarga finds Anna and tries to heal her, but she succumbs to her injuries. Distraught, Keyarga has sex with Freia and Setsuna for solace. Kureha returns and reports that the villagers will be publicly executed for supporting the Recovery Hero and that Norn has returned from abroad. Keyarga is wary of Norn as he remembers how she was more competent and manipulative than Flare. When the public execution begins, Keyarga reveals himself to save his villagers.
7"The Healer Executes Justice!"
Transliteration: "Kaifuku Jutsushi wa, Seigi o Shikkō Suru!" (Japanese: 回復術士は、正義を執行する！)		Ryōichi KurayaKazuyuki FudeyasuFebruary 24, 2021 (2021-02-24)
Keyarga begins to slaughter the executioners and does not stop even when they start killing the villagers. The executioners try to use a magical barrier to drain his strength, but Freia reverses the effect. Keyarga learns the villagers were fed poison earlier so they were already dying; he is only able to save one boy. Freia reveals herself, pretending to be Flare, and reveals the corruption in Jioral, causing the audience to turn on the executioners and kill them. Aware the boy blames him for everything that happened to the village, Keyarga tells the merchant to care for him. Kureha leaves to continue spying on the kingdom and warns him that Norn and her army are headed for the city of Branica. Keyarga notes that Norn never went to Branica in his first life. Meanwhile, Norn learns that Flare is still alive and is now working with Keyarga. Keyarga decides to go to Branica as well because the Demon Lord will be there and he wants to meet her again. Along the way, they make camp and Keyarga has sex with Freia and Setsuna. Freia says she will kill anyone who stands in his way, causing Keyarga to realize that excluding her devotion to him, her personality is not that different from Flare's.

Freia's incredible power causes her magic staves to eventually break, so Keyarga decides they will one day have to acquire divine weapons that can handle it. The party arrives at Branica where humans and other races live in harmony unlike in other places. At a restaurant, they meet Eve Reese, the Demon Lord whom Keyarga met and defeated in his first life, but she is less powerful and her hair is black instead of silver, unlike he remembered, causing him to realize she is not yet the Demon Lord. She is a member of the Black Wing Tribe, whom the current Demon Lord ordered to be eradicated. Bounty hunters attack her and she is hit by a paralyzing arrow, but Keyarga's party rescues and heals her. While hiding out, Keyarga explains to Eve that he met her in the future and she will become the Demon Lord, offering to protect her until she claims her destiny. She does not believe him but agrees to stay with the group. Later that night, Eve wakes up and is shocked and embarrassed to find Keyarga having sex with Freia and Setsuna right in front of her. Keyarga invites her to join them and taunts her to prove she is a grown-up.

Eve turns down Keyarga's offer, but he, Freia, and Setsuna scold her. Keyarga says once she becomes the Demon Lord, he wants the Philosopher's Stone and for her to secure peace between humans and demons. While discussing their combat capabilities, Eve explains she can summon the legendary, disease-spreading bird, Caladrius, but she will have to endure several trials, including traveling all around the world, to make it obey her. Keyarga disguises himself and scouts the city, but a bounty hunter recognizes him due to his scent, forcing Keyarga to kill him. Keyarga returns and has sex with Freia and Setsuna. Embarrassed, Eve leaves the room, but, aroused, listens and masturbates, so Keyarga notes it is only a matter of time before she gives in to his advances. Keyarga and Setsuna track down the bounty hunters and massacre them. As payback for them destroying the restaurant, they leave the survivors in a pit to be devoured by a beast. Freia buys a magic staff and Keyarga improves it. When he improves the other staves in the store, the owner gives him some money back and a mithril sword. Keyarga is furious when Norn, her army, and Blade arrive in Branica.

Keyarga sells some potions to Karman, the store owner, who warns him about the girl's fate. After having sex with Freia and Setsuna, Keyarga decides to use himself as bait, transforming into a woman named Keara. At a pub, Blade is enticed by Keara and offers her a drink. Blade transfers a sleeping potion via a kiss and Keara pretends to pass out. While Blade carries her to her hotel, the father of the girl whom Blade raped attacks her, forcing Keara to knock him out to save his life and then fight Blade. However, Blade's sword, Ragnarok, enhances her strength and allows her to heal from injuries. Keara is knocked out cold and later wakes up tied to Blade's bed. Blade prepares to rape her but is horrified to discover Keara has a penis. Keara breaks her bonds and stabs Blade with a poisoned dagger.

Keara reads Blade's memories and learns Norn plans to attack Branica in three days. After paralyzing Blade's legs, she has three brainwashed men gang-rape her. The men then kill and eat her, causing Ragnarok to revert to a gem. After reverting to his true form, Keyarga meets Trist Organ, aka Hawkeye. Hawkeye is impressed by the potions he sold to Karman and invites him to join his army, but he declines. Realizing Hawkeye is too powerful for him, Keyarga connects with the gem to form a new weapon; it transforms into a clawed gauntlet called Georgius that can heal the user's injuries. Keyarga celebrates by having sex with Freia and Setsuna while Eve masturbates in the room this time. On the third day, Norn becomes tired of searching for Blade and dismisses her as worthless. Accusing the demons of Branica of brainwashing humans into accepting them, Norn commands her army to kill everyone. Keyarga is furious when Karman is killed and begins to slaughter the soldiers. Norn and Hawkeye are shocked when Freia, pretending to be Flare, projects a giant hologram of herself in the sky.

Afterward, he reads her memories and learns she was responsible for Leonard attacking his village. When she wakes up, he drugs Freia into acting like a dog, then promises if she can withstand Freia licking her without orgasming until morning, he will release her. Norn fails the challenge, so he and Freia rape her. He then erases and alters Norn's memories and appearance and turns her into Ellen, his little sister who is in love with him, and turns Freia back to normal. Kureha arrives and Keyarga introduces Ellen. Keyarga has sex with Freia, Setsuna, Ellen, and Kureha while Eve masturbates. He decides his party will travel until they can help Eve tame Caladrius, but pauses to lay flowers on Karman's grave, saying he avenged him and Anna. With Jioral now in disarray following Flare and Norn's supposed murders, Proum assigns Bullet to stop Keyarga, and Bullet is eager to rape him again. Keyarga realizes he is starting to care for his girls, but decides he will never know peace until he gets revenge on Bullet.

Reception

Light novel and manga

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

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

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.
