LitPick Review
Hell Girl is a collection of stories told in a manga. Mangas are Japanese graphic novels that are read from left to right. Hell Girl contains five chapters that only have one consistent character, the Hell Girl. Each story's main character has been wronged by someone. When their life becomes miserable, they here about a website that people can only access at midnight. At the website, the characters type in the name of the person that they want to send to hell. The Hell Girl soon appears. She tells them that she can send their wrongdoer to hell, but they also must come to hell once they die. All of the characters agree and the Hell Girl takes revenge on them.
Opinion:
This manga was very different than the other mangas that I have read in the past. The stories were only connected by the Hell Girl, who does similar things and says similar lines in each story. Despite this, I still enjoyed the book. Each story was interesting, and the drawings were very good. This manga was only the first in the Hell Girl series. I may continue reading the series to see if the character, Hell Girl, develops or if we learn more about her grandmother, who was mentioned once. All in all, the book was interesting and unique. Manga readers will probably enjoy it, as well as anyone who enjoys stories of betrayal and revenge.
