Premise
REDO OF HEALER - PREMISES, CHARACTER, SEASON 1 & SEASON 2 RELEASE DATE: Keyaru, who is exploited and sexually abused repeatedly by others due to being a healing magician, notices what lays just beyond 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 and take down a corrupted empire.
Characters
Keyaru (ケヤル) / Keyarga (ケヤルガ, Keyaruga)
REDO OF HEALER - PREMISES, CHARACTER, SEASON 1 & SEASON 2 RELEASE DATE: The Healing Hero and the series' main protagonist, who was blessed with the hero's insignia from the coming-of-age.
He, however, wanted to save the world from demons only to endure four years of physical, mental, and sexual abuse at the hands of his own allies, making him see how corrupted the Jioral Kingdom is. 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.
Instead of handing it to Flare as instructed, he uses the item to travel back in time, all while being able to maintain his memories of the original timeline, to exact revenge against his torturers and bring down Jioral.
During this, he changes his appearance and renames himself Keyarga. His thirst for revenge and mostly psychopathic personality (gained for the torture he endured) makes him an anti-hero, although he does have a caring side.

In the alternate timeline, when Flare is left vulnerable, Keyaru tortures her, takes her powers, erases and alters her memories and appearance 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. She is one of Keyarga's closest allies.

When Is Redo of Healer: Season 2 Coming Out?
REDO OF HEALER - PREMISES, CHARACTER, SEASON 1 & SEASON 2 RELEASE DATE: Currently, there’s no word on Redo of Healer: Season 2, so for the moment it’s anyone’s guess. Maybe the intense backlash is to blame or there’s just not a big enough fan base, either way, you’ll have to sit back tight for a year or two at least.
If you didn’t know already, Rui Tsukiyo is also the author of the recent hit isekai The World’s Finest Assassin Gets Reincarnated in Another World as an Aristocrat, and it too received an anime adaptation in late 2021. By the looks of it, we may actually see a second of this anime before Redo of Healer: Season 2 as a result of popular demand, but no reason not to be hopeful otherwise.
