"Go to hell..."

Somewhere in the vast realm of the Internet, there is a message board called "Jigoku Tsushin (Hell Message)," which could only be accessed at the stroke of midnight. When grudges are posted on the website, Jigoku Shoujo (Hell Girl) will appear and drag the nemesis into inferno. Such rumor seems to be an urban legend that is believed among children but it is not just a rumor...

Her name is Ai Emma. Usually, she is a quiet girl, but when she sympathizes with the grudge, she turns into Jigoku Shoujo. Although not mentioned in the rumor, it is necessary to reach an agreement with her. In order to send the target to Hell, the client's soul will be desitined to go to Hell after the his/her death. Clients who get their revenge with the help from Jigoku Shoujo will have to live the rest of their lives with an engraved cross mark on their chests.

Getting revenge does not always mean that you will have a happy life afterwards. JIGOKU SHOUJO focuses on the wrongness of hurting people, no matter how morally correct the revenge may be.

"Curses, like chickens, come home to roost. Your soul will also be taken to inferno, but yours will be taken after you live your life. It is up to you."

「尝试一下死亡……」

在都市有着这样一个传言，只要在深夜零时登录「地狱通信」，将所怨恨的人的名字写下来，「地狱少女」就会出现，立即把你怨恨的人带入地狱。她的名字叫「阎魔爱」。当她与信件中的怨恨产生共鸣，就会变身为「地狱少女」。

委托「地狱少女」复仇成功的依赖人，胸口上被刻有「契约之印」，将永远背负着前往地狱的十字架生存。例如，即使消除怨恨，笑容未必回到身上。复仇不是前往幸福之路。给人带来劝善惩恶的痛快感的同时，辛辣地描写了人间所持有的愚笨和本质的真人版电视剧。

「害人者亦害己」…因果报应，诅咒别人，伤害他人者，把别人送进棺材的同时也为自己掘好了坟墓。害人害己，终究自己也会受到相同的报应。
