Gokurakugai, written and illustrated by Yuto Sano, will premiere on the Shonen Jump app this Thursday, March 2. David Evelyn (Undead Unluck and Kaiju No. 8) handles the English translation. Set in the red-light district, the supernatural story follows two professional troubleshooters named Tao and Alma who will do any kind of job that’s asked of them as long as they get paid the amount of money they want. Alma is the cheerier, outgoing of the pair while Tao generally keeps to herself.
