Someone done you wrong? Are you hell-bent for vengeance? All you have to do is visit a special Web site, put in your request and Hell Girl will arrive at your doorstep. Hell Girl, a.k.a. Enma Ai is a pretty girl who has a supernatural calling. She delivers black dolls with strings around their neck to all who request relief from their troubles. Take off the string, and your tormentor will go straight to Hell. The catch? When you die, you'll be joining them there in the fiery depths.

Hell Girl (Jigoku Shojo) is currently serialized in Nakayoshi magazine, a shojo anthology geared toward pre-teen and teen girls. This dark shojo manga tale has already been adapted as both animated and live-action TV series. The animated series has been picked up by Funimation and is scheduled for release on October 23, 2007.
