Synopsis
Out of the blue, college student Yukine decides to try her hand at summoning a demon from hell - and so she does! Surprisingly, a demon with a serpent tail named Jashin-chan appears…but after realizing that she has no idea how to send her back, Yukine and Jashin-chan are stuck rooming together in a crappy apartment complex in Jimbocho!
Aside from a spell, Jashin-chan knows of one way to return to hell: kill her summoner. Hilarity and pain become a constant cycle in their everyday life, because try as she might, Jashin-chan just can’t seem to finish the job… Who knew a human could be so capable?

Characters
Yurine Hanazono (Voiced by: Aina Suzuki)

Jashin-chan (Voiced by: Nichika Omori)
Jashin-chan is a demon with a serpent tail who sleeps in Yurine’s closet. Though she is always considering the next scheme to kill Yurine, her half-baked plans always fail. She can regenerate herself which is both good and bad, because her failed plots always end in pain and mutilation.
Medusa (Voiced by: Miyu Kubota)
