If this is hell, why are we so stuck on going to heaven then?

This manga presents us with a parodical portrayal of hell with equally parodical characters. The story features people living in the so-called "hell" where they suffer "punishments" assigned to them, it's just that the punishments are not what you think they would be.

The manga is a 4-koma and not a 4-koma, both at the same time, which itself is jokingly mentioned in the manga. It features the panel structure of a normal manga, but the story design resembles to that of a 4-koma. And that's how I came to know the importance ... of panel structuring because I hate that aspect of 4-komas.

The story is very simple, presenting us with people living in hell with a certain gimmick that they hate doing, attached to them. And we enjoy as it cooks things up without harrowing our brains. And it is worth enjoying. It uses the CGDCT kinda comedy with numerous jokes, and it doesn't miss. While the gimmicks attached to the characters may be constant, the event which arise due to them are not, which results in jokes, all of which hit differently. The story focuses on the life of certain characters. And among those, the character which I like the most has to be Juri. She has unironically become one of my favourite characters. The other characters are also good, and their various antics always results in a good chuckle. The art department did good, and as I previously talked about, that the story uses various escapades of cute girls as comedy, the art featured in it, helps it in conveying it a lot more effectively as a medium.

Now talking about the ending, I think it is the only rotten apple in the otherwise great manga. The ending was rushed, and understandably so, cause the manga got axed. Actually, the manga didn't get axed, if speaking technically. It is that the magazine which serialized the manga got discontinued, so the author had to cut corners, and give us an ending.
