Plot

A Japanese human witch named Yurine Hanazono summons the serpent woman Jashin ("Evil God") from Hell. Unable to go back to Hell by herself, Jashin spends each day unsuccessfully trying to kill Yurine while simultaneously spending time with her and various acquaintances from Heaven and Hell.

Characters

Jashin-chan (邪神ちゃん)
Voiced by: Aina Suzuki[2]
A self-centered serpent who was summoned from Hell by Yurine. She possesses regenerative abilities which allow her to revive herself after her actions lead to bloody vengeance from Yurine. Although it seems that Jashin is an absolutely immoral girl who manipulates Medusa or mocks Pecola without any regrets, at heart she is capable of good deeds and appreciates her close friends. However, as Yurine notes, Jashin is embarrassed by this and tries to hide the good traits of her personality because of her tsundere nature.
Yurine Hanazono (花園 ゆりね, Hanazono Yurine)
Voiced by: Nichika Ōmori[2]
A human who summoned Jashin to Earth. She is relentless in brutally attacking Jashin as penance for her actions, but is generally kind to others. As the only human among the main characters, Yurine often acts as the voice of reason and avatar of the audience, sarcastically commenting on the silly antics of the characters surrounding her.
Medusa (メデューサ, Medyūsa)
Voiced by: Miyu Kubota[2]
A gorgon from Hell who is close friends with Jashin, despite the later seeing her more as a walking cash machine. She and Jashin are pretty close, to such a level that their relationship leaves Yurine a feel of a "boy-girl relationship", with Jashin often behaving like an immoral husband who constantly manipulates her "wife" Medusa for the sake of monetary gain. At the same time, the tender side of Medusa allows her to discover the hidden good side of Jashin, which allows them to remain closest persons and regularly emphasize their strong bonds and interdependence. While outdoors, she wears a paper bag on her head to avoid accidentally turning people into stone.
Pekola (ぺこら, Pekora)
Voiced by: Yurie Kozakai[2]
An angel who lost her halo and became stranded on Earth. She is often starved due to not having any money, but is also somewhat defiant in accepting kindness from Yurine as she believes her to be a witch.
Minos (ミノス, Minosu)
Voiced by: Chiaki Omigawa[2]
A minotaur who is friends with Jashin. Despite being based on a cow, she has no qualms about eating beef.
Poporon (ぽぽろん)
Voiced by: Rico Sasaki[2]
Pekola's former subordinate, who seeks to kill Pekola so she can take her place as a fully-fledged angel. However, she loses her powers after Jashin eats her halo, taking up jobs as both a ramen shop worker and an idol.
Persephone II (ペルセポネ2世, Perusepone Ni-sei)
Voiced by: Riho Iida[2]
A devil who descended to the earth in order to search for Jashin-chan. However, she and Jashin-chan had been nearby each other several times but never noticed each other's presence.
Mei Tachibana (橘芽 依, Tachibana Mei)
Voiced by: Natsuko Hara[2]
A police officer who falls for Jashin on sight and tries to take her for herself.
Yusa (遊佐)
Voiced by: Kazusa Aranami[2]
An ice devil who looks after her younger sister, Koji.
Kōji (浩二)
Voiced by: Miko Terada[2]
Yusa's little sister, who Jashin nicknames Kōri-chan (氷ちゃん). Her blood produces strawberry flavored syrup while her urine produces lemon flavored syrup.
Beth (ベート, Bēto)
Voiced by: M.A.O[3]
A Beast of Gévaudan that Yurine keeps as a pet outside of her apartment.
Pino (ぴの)
Voiced by: Marina Yamada
Another of Pekola's former subordinates, who seeks to kill Pekola so she can take her place as a fully-fledged angel. However, she loses her powers after Poporon breaks her halo, taking up a job as a custodian outside Yurine's apartment.
Kyon-Kyon (キョンキョン, Kyonkyon)
Voiced by: Nanami Yamashita[4]
A girl from China.
Ran-Ran (ランラン, Ranran)
