Jigoku Shoujo Ep. 21

Episode title: Yasashii Rinjin (Kind Neighbor)

This week's client is Yuko, someone that Hajime and Tsugumi knows. Apparently, a neighbor, acting kind and considerate, "helped" out Yuko's dad, but in the end, he tricked him into ruining the crops on his land, causing the dad to drink to death. Hajime tries to stop Yuko from taking vengence. In the end, he succeeds in convincing Yuko not to take vengence; however, things may not be fully resolved as Yuko, kicked out of her own home, has to go to foster home of some sort, where she spies a personal computer... the Jigoku Shoujo is not far away.

Another significant development is the growing difference in opinion between Hajime and Tsugumi. Tsugumi thinks taking vengence is all right, and the two have a big fight.

Ai also sees the vision of the boy again... she stares at him more calmly now, but after the boy disappears, she covers her mouth with her hand as if she wants to throw up... but then again, maybe she wanted to throw up because right after that, Wanyuudo shows up with trash all over him (Hajime had dumped the straw doll into the garbage). ^_^
