While she's patrolling the ruins of the housing complex where her father died years ago, high-schooler Himeji encounters a young man who claims to be from hell. The man, Yumeji, is apparently part of a new program, which has been started to solve the problem of hell having been filled up. Yumeji is allowed to return to Earth and work for his atonement, and he is given an ability related to his crimes (in his case, he can cut things with his hands). He can atone for his sins in three ways: by rescuing good people, by defeating bad people, or by killing others who have been released from hell. Yumeji is determined, though, that his atonement will be achieved without killing anyone. He'll have plenty of opportunity to work for his atonement alongside the justice-minded Himeji, who is already in a dangerous situation when they first meet!

Nanjou Fusato feels pretty worthless, with no friends, no girlfriend, and (from his perspective) no strengths. One day, he tries to summon a demon using a ritual he found in a book at a weird curio shop. The summoning works, after a fashion, and he soon has a friendly rookie devil companion named Selphie. However, instead of granting his every desire, she can only grant wishes that he has the 'devil points' for, as listed in a handy catalog. When Fusato runs out of devil points, he will die. Will he be able to get out of this tricky situation?

Half a year ago, the four members of a literature club, as well as the elementary school niece of their faculty adviser, were bestowed with supernatural powers. The boy in the club, Ando Jurai, became able to produce black flames. The girls acquired a variety of powerful abilities: Tomoyo could slow, speed, or stop time, Hatoko could control the five elements (earth, water, fire, wind, light), little Chifuyu could create things, and Sayumi could repair objects or heal living things. However, since they gained these powers, nothing has really changed in their everyday life. Why have they been given these powers in the first place? Will the heroic fantasy life they imagined these powers would bring ever actually arrive?

This manga is a collection of yuri romance short stories. Most of the stories take place in school, though one features an idol group. A few stories involve sexual situations, but others are more focused on feelings and tension. The first story features a girl whose secret place to be alone is discovered by a popular girl from school. Other stories include an ambiguous relationship at an all-girl's school, a girl who meets a gorgeous exchange student, and a trip to buy lingerie that ends up in an unexpected situation.

This is what tethysdust said this week:
There are a few more hell-related manga this week, with B.B.Hell and the Devil Points one-shot. B.B.Hell seems like a potentially interesting shounen battle manga. I was surprised that the Devil Points one didn't allow the main character to earn more DP, though I imagine that would have to be included if it were to be serialized. The Inou Battle one was a little too meta for me, but it would probably be enjoyed by fans of meta manga comedy. Zankou Noise is a collection of pretty short, simple girls' romance stories.

My opinion:
This week features on content about hell again...
BB.Hell - Want an action manga? Then you should check it out. Although the premise is a little generic, it might turn out to be pretty interesting to see how he redeems himself from hell without killing anyone.
Eikyuu Fumetsu Devil Point - Another hell-related manga, but if you don't want to invest too much time in it, then this is the one for you. The art looks decent and it may look a little familiar. It's from the mangaka of Sket Dance (a manga from Jump), so if you're a fan of that, then you may want to check it out~
Inou Battle wa Nichijoukei no Naka de - If you want to read about regular real people getting super powers, then you way want to check it out. It sounds pretty interesting. It was also previously a light novel, so if you're a fan of the light novel, then this is a must read~
Zankou Noise - If you're in the mood for love or just like yuri, then you may want to check out this collection of short stories. It's only one volume long so you won't be wasting too much time if you find it's not to your taste. However, the art looks pretty good~
