Hagure Idol: Jigoku-hen review

A very good subversive series that explores the life of an gyaru idol who also happens to be a god-gifted karate master. The series has some less-than-tasteful moments, so I wouldn't recommend it to the feint of heart, it deals with some pretty fucked up shit too, like sexual assault, mental illness, family trauma, etc.

One of the things I noticed while reading this series was the influence that the author drew from the Baki series, specifically in the artstyle (many panels are inspired by Baki, specifically in fights), and that leads into the best thing about this series, despite how the MC is often placed in obscene situations, more often than not she overcomes them with her martial arts skill and sheer power. The series truly comes into its own when the tournament arc begins, and a whole cast of female martial artists are introduced. The fights are all amazing and don't drag on with excessive flashbacks or explanations, drawing inspiration from Baki while still managing to have its own style.

Fear Chinese Loli Kuroki, for there is no escape.
