Life in Hell goes on as usual, but not without a few changes here and these. Karauri and Nasubi find themselves mentoring new hires, Yashaichi's pups are growing up fast, and the Ten Kings are debating how best to renovate the gates to the Afterlife! Alas, money makes the world go round, even in Hell. You know what that means…budget cuts!

The mural of Enma Palace is crumbling! Families are offering too many oblations to the dead! Beelzebub’s wife and master seductress Lady Lilith visits Japan from the West! There is no problem that Hozuki can’t solve. Well, apart from constant headache Hakutaku gives him, perhaps.

Volume eight opens appropriately with a tale of the Eight Cold Hells! In this edition, we review the similarities between the Greek and Japanese underworld, eavesdrop on King Enma and King Shinko grumbling about their respective aides, sit in on a conversation between Hozuki and Hakutaku on the intricacies of badmouthing, and get a peek into the life of Kakisuke. Volume eight, now with nine laugh-packed chapters!

This volume is all about curiosities held by Hell's residents! Shiro's curious what sort of place is the authentic Hell Hot Springs are really like. Momotaro's curious to see what the deal is with this so-called “folktale folk meet-and-greet.” And Karauri and Nasubi are curious to find out more about a certain jiangshi named Chun, King Godo Tenrin's aide and the model for the heroine of a popular manga. Don't let her cute face fool you, she's so ferocious that even Hozuki's no match for her. What's more, she's Hakutaku's ex-girlfriend?!

As usual, our resident dimwitted dog, Shiro, finds himself in an unprecedented pinch when an insect hell warden called a Colon Cadger sets its sights on his furry rear! Meanwhile, despite continuing to slack off since his debut in volume 12, the Clothes-Hanging Geezer shows up out of the blue begging for Peach Maki's autograph! And the lucky tanuki teapot that Karashi's always giving a thrashing shows off his entertainer skills! All that and much more!

What in the world is Hozuki doing when he visit the mortal realm? How do Hell's ogres feel about Setsubun? Is it just me, or do a lot of ogres have curly hair? Why is King Shinko's personal aide the Heian noble Ono-no-Takamura? Are there dinosaurs in Hell? Find all of that out and more in volume 6! And at long last, Hakutaku's age is revealed!

In this tenth edition, Hozuki is invited to give a presentation at an elementary school, fills in at a mixer at the behest of Karashi, investigates a group of ogres terrorizing the mortal realm, and even has to deal with Haruichi, a spy from the Eight Cold Hells. As if he wasn't busy enough, Hozuki still finds time to drop by European hell to give Satan a piece of his mind for sending King Enma a most offensive missive!
