鬼灯の冷徹 [Hozuki no Reitetsu]

In Hozuki no Reitetsu (2011–2021, Kōdansha), the afterlife’s bureaucracy is run by a cool-headed, sadistic demon named Hozuki, who manages the day-to-day operations of Hell with ruthless efficiency. This 31-issue manga blends Japanese folklore, dark comedy, and workplace satire as Hozuki contends with demanding bosses like King Enma, troublesome souls, and mythological creatures. Created by Natsumi Eguchi, the series became a cult hit for its deadpan humor and meticulous world-building, offering a uniquely irreverent take on the underworld.
