EnMa Ai



The series revolves around a character named Ai Enma, who is known as the Jigoku Shoujo (Japanese for the words Hell Girl). Somewhere on the vast sea of the Internet, there exists a mysterious website called the "Jigoku Tsūshin" (Hell Correspondence). This website can be accessed only when it is exactly midnight and only when the person accessing the website bears a true hatred and grudge against somebody; Otherwise an error message will show up on the screen and the website will be inaccessible. If someone submits the name of the person against whom they bear a grudge in this website, Ai will appear as the Hell Girl before the person sending the grudge (the client). Then she will offer them a straw doll with a red string wound around its neck. If the string is pulled by the client, she will send the target of the client's grudge straightaway to Hell. However, by pulling the string, the client agrees to the contract that, after their grudge object has been sent to hell, the client will go to hell too after their natural life ends.



Ai lives with her equally enigmatic Grandmother in a realm known as the "realm of eternal twilight". She is assisted in her work by her three companions in the first and second season. These three companions can transform into straw dolls at Ai's request, and can then be given to her clients for the fulfillment of their grudge and the contract between Ai and her clients. Otherwise, the three companions of Ai help her find out more about their cleint before they give the straw doll.
