The story actually piques my interest; it's about a girl named Komachi who runs into a devil named Enra (who is SUPER good looking and sexy and a million other gorgeous words to describe him), who is in the midst of a test to become the next King of Hell (the Yama). Enra himself is the youngest son of the King of Hell (a.k.a. a prince of Hell) so yeah. He is given a scroll with a list of humans that will end up committing a sin in the future, and he and his other five (?) brothers are in a race to clear all the names on the list.
Komachi, our pretty little heroine, is apparently one of the names on the list (ranked high on it -- the higher the rank, the badder the sin is), but because of her good morals and justice-seeking ways, she objects to the fate the Yama has given her and asks Enra for a chance to prove herself of the fact that she just wouldn't, couldn't commit a sin. Thus, he lets her stay on Earth to go through her daily life, waiting for the time her sin will be committed.
Of course, this being a shoujo in all, it's sort of obvious that some romance is on its way (I'M SO EXCITED FOR IT).
So far, I've been intrigued. The plot is going nicely, with Enra practically living with and stalking Komachi with his little sidekick/guard of Hell named Koko (who ends up disguising himself as a hot guy -- there are hot guys literally eVERYWHERE) and run-ins with Enra's brothers. A lot of scenes are just plain funny and the cliffhangers make me really excited (and impatient) for the next chapter.
I'm enjoying it a LOT so far (no, not just because of the hot guys [though that adds to the enjoyment]), and even though it's not a hentai or anything, some scenes just feel so erotic, with Enra's stares and expressions, his fingers just playing on Komachi's face and, of course, the way they send humans' souls to hell -- by kissing and then biting the human's tongue.
Blah. I can't even.
The art is gorgeous. I mean, GORGEOUSSSS. I LOVE IT.
The characters have amazing personalities. Komachi is nice and just wants justice, while Enra is an arrogant bastard who teases her and hates everything that it's almost hilarious (a lot of people say he has no redeeming qualities, but I beg to differ -- to me, he is an amazing little thing and I just... I love him so much. Even though he's selfish and stuff).
Even the side characters and Enra's brothers are intriguing and stuff.
I know it's only 7 chapters but I'm giving it an 8, or an 8.5 even, so far.
Now give me more Jigoku no Enra!!!
