Jigoku Shoujo, also known as Hell Girl is an anime series currently consisting of three seasons. It also has a live action television series with a total of 12 episodes which has finished airing, and a manga series. The anime, live action TV series, and the manga series are all non-canon to each other. There are also a few games for mobile, and two more comparatively major games made from the series.
The series revolves around a character named Ai Enma, who is known as the Jigoku Shoujo (Japanese for Hell Girl), and her service, which involves taking someone to hell immediately on the request of a client. Somewhere on the vast sea of the Internet, there exists a mysterious website called the "Jigoku Tsūshin" (Japanese for Hotline to Hell, and known as the Hell Correspondence in some of the English adaptation). This website can be accessed 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 saying that the website cannot be found, making the website inaccessible. If someone submits the name of the person against whom they bear a grudge in this website, Ai will appear to the person sending the grudge (the client) to offer her service for which the client has requested. She does so by offering them a straw doll with a red string wound around its neck, and bound with it is a contract - 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, but only after their natural life ends.
