Hell's Paradise: Jigokuraku Side Story - Forest of Misfortune

Funny how my first review is about this, whose primary work I couldn't even be bothered to finish. What urged me to do this was the shockingly low rating for a work of this tier. Now the original story didn't do much for me, or maybe it's my fondness for short stories, but this side story had it all. A protagonist we all care for, a reasonable set-up to the plot, lovable secondary characters, interesting villain(even predictable for the assiduous readers), and with some action, weirdness, and a sweet conclusion. In fact, I'm wondering now if I should have given it a 10. I agree with Fujimoto,this work is interesting and definitely worth reading.
