A surreal, darkly comedic anime that blends biblical horror imagery with high-school friendship dynamics, using Hell as a fish-out-of-water setting for unexpected warmth.

Amagane Rinne has a fatal accident while hurrying to her first day of school. She suddenly arrives at an awkward school... in Hell, filled with demons. While she struggles and wishes to go back to the world from whence she came, Rinne befriends her demon schoolmates and develops an uncommon bond.
