The episodic series features mostly self-contained stories about individuals who are being bullied or abused by others. When they have had enough, they desperately log onto a website known as Hell Correspondence and ask their tormentor be disposed of. As such, a girl named Ai Enma then appears as the titular Hell Girl to fulfill the wish. The girl and her comrades will torture the offending souls, offering them a final shot at redemption, before they are then dragged down to Hell. But, as payment, the person who requested the job must go to Hell when they die. As the series moves forward, fans learned more about the workers behind the Hell Correspondence website whilst news crews begin to report on the mysterious site.
