Hozuki's Coolheadedness, originally known as Hōzuki no Reitetsu (Japanese: 鬼灯の冷徹), is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Natsumi Eguchi. Its plot turns around Hozuki, a demon who works for the King and Head Judge of Hell. It has been serialized by Kodansha in the magazine Weekly Morning since March 2011, with chapters collected in twenty-three tankōbon volumes as of November 2016. Wit Studio adapted the manga into a 2014 anime television series and three original animation DVDs (OADs).

The anime was made available to English-speaking audiences through Crunchyroll, which streamed it, and Sentai Filmworks, which licensed the series to be released on DVD. In Japan, the Hozuki's Coolheadedness manga has sold over 7.5 million copies as of July 2014. The manga and anime have been featured at various times in weekly top ten lists of best-selling in their respective media. The anime has been well received by English-language reviewers, and was usually elected one of the best anime of 2014.

Plot

The story centers on demon Ogre Hozuki (鬼灯 Hōzuki) who works under King Enma (閻魔大王 Enma-Daiō), the King and Head Judge of Hell who determines what kind of hell the dead will be sent to. The serious-minded Hozuki attempts to manage and troubleshoot unusual problems which occur in the Japanese hell. Two of the most prominent subordinates of Hozuki are Karauri (唐瓜) and Nasubi (茄子). Other people in the hell include Oko (お香 Okō), the chief assistant of Mortal Hell; Peach Maki (ピーチ・マキ Pīchi Maki), a famous idol in Hell; and Yoshitsune Minamoto (源義経 Minamoto no Yoshitsune), a commander in the Crow-Tengu Police. The main rival of Hozuki is Hakutaku (白澤), a Chinese medicine expert who works at Shangri-La. Hakutaku is assisted by Momotarō (桃太郎), a famous samurai in his days of living. Momotaro's three pets are also regular characters in the series: Shiro (シロ), the dog; Kakisuke (柿助), the monkey; and Rurio (ルリオ), the pheasant.

As of July 2014, Hozuki's Coolheadedness's first fourteen volumes have sold over 7 million copies in Japan.[86] Several volumes of the series have been featured on Oricon's weekly chart of the best-selling manga; all volumes since the fifth one have reached the top 10 (see table). Hozuki's Coolheadedness was among the best-selling manga series of 2014 and 2015[87][88] and individual volumes have also reached the list for the first half of both years.[89][90] The series's guidebook also entered the top 25 of best-selling comics.[91] The 2012 edition of Takarajimasha's Kono Manga ga Sugoi!, which surveys people in the manga and publishing industry, named Hozuki's Coolheadedness the nineteenth best manga series for male readers.[92] In 2012, it was one of the 15 manga nominated for the 5th Manga Taishō and was selected by jury for the 16th Japan Media Arts Festival Awards.[32] The series was nominated for the 38th Kodansha Manga Award for Best General Manga,[93][94] and ranked fifth on the "Book of the Year by Media Factory's Da Vinci in 2014.[95]

All the six compilation of the anime series were featured both on Oricon's weekly chart of the best-selling DVD and Blu-ray, reaching the top 10 in both categories.[note 3] Its two first volumes were released on the same day and they ranked first and second on the DVD list, while were second and third on the Blu-ray list.[96][97] The first DVD, the fifth Blu-ray and the sixth DVD volumes topped the list.[96][103][104] In a survey by Rekochoku with 500 men and women between the ages of 10 and 50, Hozuki's Coolheadedness was voted the best anime that started in January 2014.[106] Asking the same question the site Animeanime.jpg received over 2800 votes, and the anime was the fourth most voted in general, while was atop among women.[107][108]

Several reviewers ranked Hozuki's Coolheadedness among their favorite of the year; this include Vichus Smith of Electronic Gaming Monthly,[109] Kelly Quinn of Tor.com,[110] and Amy McNulty and Gabriella Ekens of Anime News Network (ANN).[111][112] All reviewers pondered over its humor that requires some understanding of Japanese culture,[109][110][112] but they ultimately appreaciated it; McNulty said that despite it, "the payoff is well worth your effort."[111] Quinn dubbed it "one of the most original comedies we saw this year" for its "sadistic humor and bizarre setting", attributing most of it to its main character.[110] Ekens affirmed that "While not every episode provoked peals of laughter, there was just enough cuteness and cleverness aside to make me love this little show."[112] Josh Tolentino of Japanator often compared it to Lucky Star for its slow pace.[113][114][115] He commented, "I've heard rumblings in some circles about [the anime] being intensely boring, but I'm having fun so far. It's just really low-key in the way that, say, Dilbert is low-key."[113]

ANN's Carl Kimlinger was generally unfavorable; although noted its premise as singular, criticized its music, characters and "comedic incompetence".[116] He nevertheless praised its sumi-e-inspired visuals, which are "startlingly beautiful at times, and utterly distinctive at all times.".[116] Quinn also echoed a similar praise for its visuals,[110] while Tolentino stated "one of this show's best qualities is how it shows off traditional Japanese art".[117] Kate O'Neil of The Fandom Post also praised it, stating "the animation is quite superb".[118] O'Neil also said, "It's the weird artsy kid sitting in the back row of desks combined with The Office. Many viewers won't get the appeal, but it's always been a fascinating and often funny watch with a great artistic style and well defined personalities."[119]
