Summary for Jashin-chan Dropkick
The demon Jashin-chan was summoned to earth by Yurine Hanazono, a girl with a gift for the occult. Unfortunately, Yurine doesn't really know how to send Jashin-chan back to Hell. Now stuck on Earth, she is forced to live in Yurine's apartment as her confidante. The only way for Jashin-chan to return would be to kill her summoner, but that's easier said than done for the incompetent demon. Since Jashin-chan is immortal and able to regenerate her body, Yurine doesn't stop attacking her with a variety of weapons, punishing her in horrible ways for her evil plans. Jashin-chan is also often visited by her demonic friends: the kindhearted gorgon Medusa and the energetic minotaur Minosu, who in contrast seem much more polite and disapprove of her plans to kill Yurine.
