tl;dr: A manga with a semi-interesting concept but with awful writing. This manga is about a healer named Lars who is only able to cast the basic Heal spell, but he does so in an overpowered fashion. It can ‘heal’ anything. Armor, weapons, and even buildings, his Heal spell can restore all of them. And not just that, but the healed versions generally come out much better than the originals. However, Lars grew up in a rural village in the middle of nowhere where no one really knew anything about magic or healing. Thus, he thinks all that is normal and he’s just an amateur healerwithout anything special to him. The plot of this manga follows him as he heads into the nearby city of Forton, where he and the friends he makes open a shop where they sell items that he’s restored through his Heal.

I felt the concept of the manga was decent enough at its base level and that’s enough to make the first half of the manga decent enough. However, in terms of the finer details it quickly starts falling apart, and just on top of that the execution isn’t very good. Lars can turn literal trash he picks up from the dump into powerful items. Thus, his expenses are purely the overhead of running a store, such as staff costs. Despite that, he still has a hard time making money to the point he has to cut down on meals because he’s selling things at too high of a price. That doesn’t make sense. Even if his Heal skill always results in high level expensive items, there’s no reason he has to stick to selling them at that price. An explanation is provided that it would look suspicious if he did that and he’s trying to keep his skill a secret. I don’t think that explanation is all that satisfying considering he’s still selling a lot of high-level ultra rare items with no explanation of where they came from.

But even beyond that, there are situations such as Lars wanting to do a raffle of an item for marketing purposes but that getting shot down as being too expensive. On top of that, when desperate for money, they could just sell to other merchants as they did early on in the manga. However, that gets shot down because they’re worried, they’d get lowballed on price. But that doesn’t make sense either as they literally have an item that gives the market rate for all their items. And even if they are getting lowballed on price, that would still be better than suffering through flavorless meals. Especially considering they can literally just pick up more trash to heal without it costing them anything. Sorry to go on a rant, and I usually don’t have much of a problem with plot holes if the core of the story still comes across fine, but here it feels like the core of the story for the vast majority of the manga just fundamentally does not make sense.

The characters aren’t very good either. Lars is just the generic good guy that wants to help everyone. His defining trait is that he’s kind of an airheaded idiot. Other than his special skill he’s pretty useless. And furthermore, he’s dumb enough that he doesn’t even realize the value of his skill or how it truly works for most of the manga. His friends on the other hand very quickly do, but decide not to explain it to him because they think doing so would cause him to screw things up more, which is completely fair. Of his friends, there’s a girl named Minya that seems really cool in the immediate parts after she was introduced. The cool parts of her never really show up again though. Everyone else is pretty dull and not particularly remarkable. There’s a harem subtext in that the protagonist is male and all the main side characters are female, but there is absolutely no romance in this whatsoever. Ultimately, the cast overall isn’t very likable and thus very hard to get invested in.

This is an adaptation of a web novel series. As far as I know, there’s no light novel version either. The web novel version extends past the manga. The web novel has 59 chapters and the manga adapts 41 of them, so roughly two thirds of it. However, the web novel has a very abrupt ending. Even more abrupt than the manga, which at least tries to give some sort of closure. The web novel just stops. Based on the timing, I suspect that the author got an offer to turn the web novel into a manga but the publisher wanted the manga to be the main work and thus wanted him to stop writing the web novel, and he accepted and just immediately stopped writing. That’s purely just a guess though. Regardless, my main point is that this manga doesn’t have all that satisfying of an ending, nor does a satisfying ending to it exist in any other medium.

The art is pretty mediocre and not very good in terms of style or quality. The character designs were also pretty weak, other than maybe Minya’s various outfits.
