I loved the characters and the look of the manga, and on the first read I would of gave this manga a 9 or even 10 however after rereading it and finally seeing the ending I have to say that its no longer a manga worth these scores. While the art is good, it really doesn't take advantage of its hell and demon elements, beyond the first depiction of hell, this manga could be so much more stylistic but is ultimately rather plain and its really a shame and the second half of the manga is rushed to high hell, to to the extent that ... I didn't even know it was the ending its was such a bad ending to what was a really good manga that started of really strong, which is why I gave it the scores I did.

spoiler freee!!!
I really like this series. ok, so the plot:
A really a lawful good high school student gets surprise visits from various demons. the demons are fighting to become the next demon king by purifying 'corrupted' humans. It's not that original but it uses the themes of demons and hell in a interesting shoujo way. I particularly liked that it wasn't?? as shoujo-ey as other shoujo manga ahead with a little bits of dark thmes but nothing too drastic. I was kinda underwhelmed with the ending 'big reveal' as well, I wish it was a bit more dramatic. 7

art:
As an artist the art is seriously ... good. all the characters are well designed, the backgrounds are blended in and the expressions match what their saying. It's not as sparkly for a typical shoujo manga but is definitely very good. The art is one of my favourites. lol this is the main reason I picked up the series, that and demons. 9

characters:
The characters all felt different and each had their own charm. I felt that Enra's reasons for righteousness could have been explored better as we don't get that much information in the series as why she is the way she is, but with the shortness of the series and other character's needing some development (because of plot) I don't mind. Enra's main love interest had matured to be a sort of tsundere, which is quite cute. 7

enjoyment:
I really liked this series, it had good pacing, characters, art and story. what more could you ask for? though I felt the very built up ending could have been more dramatic or a story explaining why Enra would do that. 8

overall:
a nice cute demon love story, would recommend. 8

Jigoku no Enra Manga Review
By: Shimada Chie
Dated: January 6, 2020

Plot:
Are you kind? Do you make right things? Are your decisions the best one? Can you swear that you are doing your best to be good? What if one day, someone came and brings you to hell? What if he says your not good enough, you will become a great sinner of the world you're living in? Will you let yourself be condemned or will you fight for what you believe in? Will you just give up or will you answer back? The heroine of the story is a strict girl. She follows rules and regulations. ... She always did what she thought is the right thing. Getting to know Enra, the one who claimed she's a sinner and was the reason she was dragged down to hell, she fights back and was determined to show that she is not. Accepting the deal, they were on the way of proving to one another who's the right one.

Character:

Enra's changes are really a great shift to see. How unrespectful he is from the beginning and how caring he is to the end is really something. Though its only a short story, the changes made from someone selfish to the one who cares, from the one who hold vengeance to the one who forgives, is touching. It was also good to see examples of human, how vulnerable they can be, how emotions get the best of them, how trivial things matter to them the most. It just shows human is human, imperfect yes, but truly lovable.

Art:

The art looks like somewhat "Ao No Exorcist" and "Kamisama Hajimemashita". Oh. It also looks like "Katekyo", the yaoi one. Hehe. I love how the characters are made cool and proud. Maybe, its to show that the level of Godlike like Enra is different from the normal ones. While the Heroine looks like average, Enra and his subordinate looks awesome. Since I'm not good with drawing hands, its fascinating to see the hand of Enra, polished with black color. He really suits his name, Enra.

Enjoyment:

At first, it kind of bored me since its repetitive. They find a sinner; they changed it, and all is well. It's like a loop of episodes where they find people and change them, again and again. What only differs is that there are extra characters that was being introduced along the episodes. It became exciting when the heroine goes up the list of sinners and the mystery just arises.

Ending:

In line with the mystery of the heroine, it disappoints me. Yes, they answer it but with a very poor logic. Her feelings for Enra are the reason of her rankings, yes. But why? Why is it like that? There are questions left in a puzzle. Are they going to be together? If yes, how? If no, what happens next? I just felt like there still some interesting things that can happen if only it didn't end early.
