Synopsis
Dead Sousuke awakens in Hell, guided by a sexy devil who tempts and torments him.
Utsunomiya Sousuke is dead. But his new life is about to begin...in Hell! Upon awakening in the Afterlife, Sousuke meets his painfully sexy devil guide Sanagi, who may be short of stature, but packs an all-powerful punch. Like Rintaro before him, can the hopelessly irreverent Sousuke repent from his sins, or is he fated to be forever tortured and teased by a gorgeous demonic temptress?

- 7 “tl;dr: A manga with a premise that's still very much interesting despite not having advanced at all beyond the previous series, but marred by an execution that ends before really getting anywhere. ...”
