Plot

Jashin-chan is a self-healing lamia who resides in Hell. Jashin is Japanese for "evil god".

As a lamia, she is half serpent and half woman. As a devil, she is self-serving and lacks modesty.

She is summoned out of Hell by a human witch named Yurine Hanazono.

She can return to Hell only if the human performs another spell or if the human dies.

Due to the latter, Jashin-chan constantly tries to kill Yurine. However, Yurine is fast and strong for a human, and Jashin-chan is not smart. So, Jashin-chan never succeeds, and she never learns.

Fallen angels and cast-out devils join the odd duo, including the only person who cares for Jashin-chan, the ancient Greek gorgon known as Medusa.
