Hell Girl, Volume One
by Nadia Oxford, Columnist (Wed 01-16-2008)
Hell Girl reads like a cross between Death Note and maybe The Ring, though it won't really intrigue or scare you. In fact, Eto's horror manga is pretty silly, but in an endearing way, like a favourite cousin who dresses up in a sheet on Halloween.
