I've been seeing this manga all over my IG lately. I couldn't help but love the fluffy, sweet vibe it gave! Let's get right into the basics.

Story; Tomari, a young girl who works in the "Underworld" at a town hall is enjoying her everyday life. Learning new things from her Senpai's, eating delicious food (especially meat) and going home to be with her siblings. When suddenly, she gets transferred to work directly under the King of Hell as his Field Officer. Not even given a chance to think about it, she heads her way to Enma Hall, where everyone is expected to work overtime and ... every single person is stressed because of the King of Hell himself; Chikage Enma. Why was Tomari choosen for this job, will she be able to handle her new boss and encounters that come along with him, and does a "slavery pact" become worth it by the end of the story?

Overall, I enjoyed this story. It was sweet, goofy and of course serious to the weirdest extremes at times. I had high hopes for this story... just because of how popular it's been lately, but the way the manga ended was kind of bland.
*** SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILERS ***
It was yet again, one of those situations where both parties LOVE each other romantically but both parties don't know how to express them properly and end up confusing each other THINKING (somehow) that they hate each other although it's love?! Also, the fact that they got married first and then confessed their love?! I can't tell if I love or hate it.
*** SPOILER OVER ***

The journey was fun. I loved Tomari for the way she easily blushes, her responsibly and her hunger for trying new foods. If anymore stories by the Author Runa Hirai come out I'll be sure to check them out.

Story:

The story is nothing unusual, it is an office romance kind of dynamic mixed with a little bit of contractual relationship, but the setting is what makes it different from the rest. The setting is in the underworld.
Tomari, female lead, just starts working on a new department under, our male lead, Chikage. Their relationship starts off as a contractual engagement by accident and soon develops into something more.
The story is full of funny moments that I personally really enjoyed. So for that, I will give it an 8. It is good and entertaining, but nothing out of the usual.

Art:

I really loved the ... art, I think it was beautifully done, very consistent. The art style is on the cute side. Every single character looks great, backgrounds are awesome too!
So for art, I give it a 10, I just loved it.

Character:

The characters were good, but I feel they were a little bit too exaggerated. Chikage doesn't care about anything, and he really doesn't. Tomari is a tsundere, and she's even too shy to hold hands. Chikage's brother has a brother complex, and he would literally kill for him. So sometimes it gets a little tiring for every single character to be too extreme. Therefore I give it a 7.

Enjoyment:

I found it really easy to read, the story was easy to follow, drawings conveyed the right feelings. I genuinely enjoyed it, the only thing I didn't like is that I felt the ending was kind of rushed. I felt the protagonist were in the process of realising their feelings when suddenly we are in the last chapter.
Still, I liked it so it is a 9.

Overall:

This is a great shoujo manga, it is fluffy, funny and entertaining. The couple has definitely chemistry, so I really recommend it if you like a cute rom-com in a fantasy setting.
