Ai Enma has a job. Even
though she is a third year student in middle school, when someone logs
onto her website, Hell Correspondence, at midnight and types in the name
of a person that they hate, then she, Hell Girl, will come and help
them. But it is a double-edged sword. Not only will she take the person
that is hated to Hell, but when the person who contacted her dies, their
soul will go to Hell and live in eternal damnation.

entering each other's names on the site to send them to Hell.
