The manga was originally serialized in 3 tankoubon by Shueisha in 2002, and six years later Creator/MadHouse [[http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=7991 remade it into an anime film]] simply titled "Hells". It's not a masterpiece by any means, but it's crazy and entertaining stuff.

** The story begins with a girl saving a purple cat from some kids throwing rocks at it, just like ''Manga/SailorMoon''. Additionally, the main character was ran over by a vehicle after a good deed and sent to the afterlife even if the death wasn't scheduled. Can you say ''Manga/YuYuHakusho''?

'''Hell's Angels''' is a manga by cult comic artist Shin'ichi Hiromoto, known in Japan ([[GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff and Italy]]) for very violent, raunchy and subversive works such as ''Fortified School''. This one retains the crude, sketchy style of his previous manga but is far tamer than those, despite being set in a literally {{Hell}}ish high school with assorted ghouls and monsters for students.
