Holy goodness… the story in this episode is so friggin’ sad. It’s still the usual concept that we know of Jigoku Shoujo though, but this one has been executed very well. We have a girl, whose mother accidentally saw the popular-wife-of-important-person cheating on her husband. Since then, her mother has been tormented by that woman. As her mother suffers, she suffers as well. The creators really succeeding in telling us that the mother was suffering. It was so sad when looking her husband hit her because his job is in danger because of her. I give two thumbs up for this one.
It’s also nice to see that the girl and Emna actually have a conversation, apart from the usual "Here is a doll with a red string bla bla, pull the string blabla, you’ll go to hell as well etc." I also liked the new preparation scene, and I noticed that the recycled cells took shorter than before. Also the annoying grandmother was no nuisance this time.
