Bad first chapter got better and then axed

by Joese

Rating: 5.0 / 10.0

It's readable. The first chapter is terrible, but after it's mainly light hearted comedy with a decreasing number of random nudity scenes. It would de better if the characters didn't act like a retards whenefer someone ugly appears or after half the nudity scenes, but they slowly act normal. Then in the last 4 chapters they build the conclusion.

The revelation of his sin was a bit suden with the comedic overtone, but it's clear how the story would've been milked (they left lots of stuff open like the mad devourer, why she had red eyes, what the happens to sinless sinners. that didn't want to go ...) so it's not that bad the series got axed.

There just isn't anything like Love in Hell

by Zackjunk907

Rating: 10.0 / 10.0

LiH is one of my favorite mangas, it's a fun, sexy, gory, romcom about self growth. It's a romance story on face value, but also something more. I can't recall the last manga that was so unique, that I feel flawlessly married these genres to make something this interesting. It's a perfect pairing of nightmarish horror, and cute Waifu slice of life that I haven't really ever seen done correctly... Until LiH.
The world building done in such a short series is amazing, the love story is weird and fairly off-putting until you realize that our MC, well he's in hell for a lot of reasons. It's a story about growth and self reflection. Is it an original story? No, no it is not. But it's a story that works perfectly because of world building.
Let's talk about the world building. It's more purgetory than hell really. It's a plane of redemption, by making sure it's comfortable enough to not break the soul, but uncomfortable enough not to want to stay. There are easily explained rules that the author wisely didn't spend pages pouring over. Demon's are almost indifferent and because humans reform the next day, they kill and maim with almost a sense of boredom. The demon's are secondary to the bigger threat, other humans. The humans are people that earned their way into hell, and are selfish, manipulative, and spiteful. The most demonic thing in hell is man.
So this is a story of a selfish unlikeable MC, with a young, ernest, and sexy demon as she tries to get him to understand that punishment isn't just being hurt, it's understanding why you are being punished as well. The name of the book isn't just a remark on their relationship, but also a statement about our MC, learning to forgive himself, and finally be able to love himself.
Is it perfect? Nope, its clear that it was rushed near the end. But that didn't stop a satisfactory conclusion. It is officially in english, and I recommend it (I paid for my manga, shocking I know) over scanlations. I know it's not my favorite manga, but I would be hard pressed to say what beats it in the genre.

Fun short read

by PZcolo

Rating: 7.0 / 10.0

Unexpectedly good and at times funny, the way hell is portrayed makes no sense imo but it's acceptable enough.
The story is simple, not overly original but not that overused either, chars are interesting and there is actual char development in such a short story. The setting as I said is kinda lacking still it allows the gore-comedy which I didn't dislike but didn't find that funny either and there are some warm moments in there too.
An interesting read, recommended for any love-come fan.

A wacky, lovable, death and torture comedy

by Swifft
9 years ago

Rating: N/A

While it's very messed up and gory, this manga is also SURPRISINGLY heartfelt -- it might even make you cry. I'm bad with gore and torture, but this series mostly handles it in an oddly funny way that just works. Wrote a long review further explaining my thoughts. All in all, I think the series missteps near the end (possibly due to its cancellation) but the landing itself was phenomenal. The ACTUAL ending of this series is something to behold, and the ride is no joke either. Pretty good.

fun at first

by kreatur

Rating: 5.0 / 10.0

This starts as a fun ecchi manga but it gradually gets worse towards a boring and useless ending.

And for those that wonder, yes, in Christianity suicide is a mortal sin as it's considered the same as murder. If you find this hard to comprehend, understand you do not have the right to decide when or how you die, God gave you life and only he can take it.

I can't talk for other religions, however i believe suicide is forbidden in most of them, because one of the pillars for religion's genesis is the fear of death.

I am only telling you this from a scholar's point of view, because I don't believe in God anyway. But it's relevant to the manga since Hell and Heaven are obviously a reality there.

Genre:Romance In reality:4/10 romance

by DarkChaos2000
10 years ago

Rating: N/A

A man falls into hell to atone for his sins and fell in love with the devil in charge of him. Although it says romance in the genre, this manga would be better if they had expanded on the romance instead of just ending it so quickly. The story is actually quite interesting, very different from a normal manga. Some characters r developed, some are not that well, but overall, great manga with the exception of its romance part, which can be better done. Huge potential but the author decided to threw it away by ending it so soon. Rather disappointing in of whether it matches with the genres.

Could have been better.

by MondSemmel

Rating: N/A

Despite the not all that uncommon topic, this was an at times surprisingly original story.

I was a bit annoyed at what was considered a sin sufficient to go to hell, though:

Rintarou thinks his sin is running from a girl after he'd found out her father was abusing her. He claims he could have treated the girl better, but doesn't think he could have helped her. What the hell? This is yet another story where people don't think of calling the police, or child , or anything. Ridiculous. To keep with the theme of the story, that's a perfect example of the sin of inaction, both by the protagonist, and by the attitude that made the mangaka overlook this option in his writing.

Also:

Suicide is considered a sin? Seriously?

Finally, I found the ending a bit weak.

A readable ecchi but it is not quite that

by residentgrigo

Rating: 7.5 / 10.0

I mostly stick to American/European comics when it comes to comics about sex, the award-winning Sex Criminals comes to mind, as Japanese ones tend to be generic or highly creepy or just porn by volumes 2 at the latest so that i am writing a review speaks volumes of the quality shown here.
Love in Hell may not be a masterpiece but the best this kind of publication has to offer as it is eventually a heartfelt drama about child abuse and well just read it. The artist is memorable, the satire works very well and it even takes the genre apart to a point. The gore is high octane and a fun aspect of the story but probably the reason why the manga did not go on longer as this narrative is ultimately just too dark to survive the target audience the publisher probably intended. The end should have come later as the world/designs are way too good to be left alone but the reason behind Senkawa´s torment is well done and i liked the cute romance thus i would read a sequel.
Move on to The Penisman (8/10) by Dr. Slump (8,5/10) a visit.

Disturbing and awesome!

by hurafloyd

Rating: 10.0 / 10.0

A word of caution, this manga is not for the feeble minded and this is said by someone who does not like gore too much and despises torture. As a reference I totally hated Domina no Do, complete trash of a manga (in my opinion).

I've read Dante's Inferno many times already (for those who thought about it, I meant the book not the game, read more 😛 ) and it is my preferred part of Alighieri's work but... this manga has some disturbing parts and I found them all quite interestingly hilarious. Probably my mind broke when I saw a couple of screenshots of a hentai about corpses (you dont want to know, TRUST ME), compare to that this is nothing. This is quite a fresh manga, totally original while keeping the standards of a (disturbing) good story. It ends quite nicely, actually I would've wanted to read more xD. Give it a shot.
