Hell Girl 1 The books are not worth the time – M. Larson – Boston, MA United States
First: the DVDs are great (as long as you start with DVD vol2. Vol 1 is completely throaway and does nothing to advance the story. Everything you learn in Vol 1 you learn in the first episode of DVD vol 2.)

Now, the BOOK: Apart from some nice black and white art, the books are slightly difficult to follow, they are even more vague and repetetive than the DVD (VOl 1) and the stories are not that interesting. As I read from Book 1 to book 2 to book 3, I kept thinking that at some point that story had to start becoming connected like the DVD did, but no. Every story is an isolated tale about someone with a grudge who ultimately calls Hell Girl, who ultiamtely sends them to Hell. It gets pretty monotonous. Don’t waste time on the books. I am sorry that I did.
hell girl manga vil.1 my review – –
hell girl,was the first manga ive read,in vilume 1 you are able to relize what exactly hell girl is about.But they have misted parts in the chapters,such as the straw doll and ai-chan seemed to jingle her braclet before the victom was terirized before being sent to hell.I watched some episodes of the anime and relized this.Also the charecters seemed to not think before going on hell corispondence,and they didnt try there own way of helping there problem.The charecters seemed whiny,and cried a bit,they gave up very quickly too.But the art work in this manga is amazing miyuki eto draws eyes and the charecters hair very well.All in all,this first volume may leave out parts and not seem very story like,but it leaves you beging to read the next volume.
An Intriguing Glimpse of the Strange Strands of Spirituality in Manga – David Crumm – Canton, Michigan
As a journalist who writes about emerging media with spiritual themes, I’m fascinated by the rising interest in manga among young readers — teenagers and 20-somethings (and I’ve even spotted a good number of 30-somethings in the manga aisle at Borders).

There are some promising religious comic artists creating graphic novels and manga with Christian, Muslim, Hindu and Buddhist themes. Bravo to those artists! But the mainstream of manga is more of a mish-mash of spiritual themes. For instance, a number of Japanese manga tales have picked up traditional Catholic images and concepts — like the Vatican’s office of inquisition and ideas related to angels and demons. But the places they wind up are mingled with Gothic tales of vampires and even images from the ancient world about heroes, gods and goddesses.

This is an immensely creative realm in media — and obviously the audience is growing each year.

I gave this title 3 stars, because I think it’s an intriguing choice to sample some of the spiritual soup that simmers in manga these days. The basic idea here is that a special Web site empowers someone to send a tormentor to Hell. And, eventually, the hellish sentence can consume the executioner’s life as well.

The imagery is classic manga for younger readers — cute, big-eyed characters placed in scenes with strong black-and-white graphic design.

The theology doesn’t really make sense, but that’s not the point of most manga, which is more of a kaleidoscopic toying with potent spiritual and mythic iconography.

No, it’s not a 5-star classic — but it is a relatively new (in English editions) slice of what makes manga attractive these days to many American readers.
: SHE’S COMING FOR YOU. . . .

When you thirst for revenge, there’s a surefire way to get it: Simply go to the strange website that appears only at midnight, and enter the name of your enemy. The Hell Girl will appear to drag your tormentor to eternal damnation. But you will have to pay a price . . . your soul!
