Healer Ditches the Boonies is no ordinary trash fantasy manga
the plot is just SO completely and absolutely ass-backwards insane that it's almost worth your time to read it.
every single arc can be summed up as this:
the art is good. what the fuck is kakao doing being chained to this manga
10/10 surreal comedy about drug jesus defining his creation mythos.
beyond the broad strokes, there are so many hilarious things (intentional or not) about this manga. The setting is insanely inconsistent. There are portions where characters hallucinate alternate realities where they imagine things like modern day appliances/homes. Character outfits range from suggestive (normal for trash manga like this) to batshit insane (Mercury Pendrago has every type of leg fetish sock on at the same time).
The main character, Leaf Chemist (REAL NAME) has some wack-ass abilities like his katana swordsmanship (which is named after the western Round Table knights), drug reinforcement, doping, and various other bullshit medicines. At one point, he allows himself to get repeatedly shot in the head in order to passively regenerate his brain to counter a demon's mind-control ability. He also can change the weather with medicine(???) and jump thousands of feet into the air.
The cast of female characters range from insane to insane. Nearly all of them want to have sex with the protagonist, who remains 100% oblivious to advances despite them literally applying their naked bodies to him. Honestly, it'd be frustrating if not for the fact that it's fuckin hilarious
also depending on where you read it, it's heavily censored but if you look at the raws it's not really that bad. the censorship makes everything look WAY more suggestive
So in summary just give it a read if you're looking for some turbo garbage. Read it with some friends. I promise you will never expect what happens next in this manga
