“Hell Correspondence” can only be accessed at midnight sharp.

Here, if one writes the name of the person whom one truly hates and submits it, Hell Girl herself will appear and send that person to hell… Hell Girl’s name is Ai Enma. Among young people, this urban legend has spread far and wide as a rumor, but little do they know that it is true.

When she requests come from those who require her services, Ai becomes hell girl and sends her targets straight to hell.

……. However that is where the legend stops. However there is more……. A contract was made with a girl.

Thus, one day, a mysterious girl named Michiru appeared in front of Ai Enma. With no memories of who she is nor how she arrived, Ai begins to talk to her.

Who is she exactly though?

Slowly, her tightly hidden past begins to return...

Ai Enma

Voice Actor: Mamiko Noto

Ai is the current serving hell girl and the main character of this story. She appears to be a mature, quiet girl, but she transforms into hell girl in order to send her targets to hell. She has been hell girl for over 400 years when her village sacrificed her to their mountain god to end a famine. They did so in a cruel manner thus leading her to die with hate in her heart. After a series of events, this allowed the Master of Hell to summon her soul and have her become Jigoku Shoujo. Ai lives in the Realm of Eternal Twilight with all of her servants as well as with her grandmother who is forever spinning thread.

Wanyuudou

Voice Actor: Takayuki Sugou

Wanyuudou is the original first servant of Ai and was a tsukumogami or an object that has been around for at least 100 years and obtains a soul and self-awareness. Wanyuudou has been alive for a very long time and appears to be an old man in traditional japanese clothing and a fedora. He transforms into a black straw doll with a red string around it’s neck when Ai makes a contract with someone. Wanyuudou was a tsukumogami but then transformed into a youkai and then finally received a new form. As such, he appears as a wheel perpetually on fire with his face in the place of the hubcap. When Ai or anyone else must leave the Realm of Eternal twilight, they have to use him as transportation.

Hone Onna

Hone Onna is the second servant of Ai. She is a beautiful woman who is about 200 years or more old. Hone Onna always dresses in a kimono with her hair up as a reference to her past as a Geisha.

When she transforms into a straw doll for Ai, she becomes a dark red straw doll with a red string around her neck.

When he becomes a straw doll for Ai, Ren is blue with a red string around his neck. As for powers, Ren is able to become an all seeing giant eye that can appear anywhere. It is almost always just one eye as his hair covers one eye at most times.
