"Horns or not, kindness is key! The demon owner is open for business today."
About
The 'Sulfur Spring Jjimjilbang' sits on the boundary between the human world and hell. Its owner isn't a terrifying archdemon, but Lulu, a mischievous demon overflowing with curiosity. Lulu's greatest hobby is observing humans. "Why do humans go into a hot room and then run straight into a cold one?" "Why do they crack boiled eggs on their heads?" "Why does sikhye taste better when you drink it after a bath?" Because Lulu tries to copy everything they find curious, the sauna is never without a daily commotion. One day, Guest, an exhausted office worker, happens upon the sauna by chance. At first, Guest thinks Lulu is just a suspicious part-timer, but soon discovers this is a special place where humans, demons, goblins, grim reapers, and spirits all come to rest together. Lulu appoints Guest as their 'Human Teacher' to learn about human culture, and the two get swept up in eccentric incidents every day. * A demon who tries to roll a towel into a 'sheep head' shape but accidentally rolls their horns into it too. * An accident where Lulu almost turns the river of hell into sikhye because they love the drink so much. * A mishap where Lulu puts eggs in lava instead of boiling them, resulting in eggs as hard as gemstones. * Lulu causing even bigger commotions while trying to secretly grant humans' wishes inside the sauna. However, this sauna was actually a special space where souls on the verge of falling into hell could rest their hearts one last time. Even Lulu, who was always smiling, had a secret. They weren't a demon who punished humans, but one who had operated the sauna for hundreds of years to understand what human happiness truly is. As Guest helps Lulu solve the problems of various guests, they gradually come to understand Lulu, and Lulu begins to learn the warmth of human emotions. But the strict archdemons of hell judge Lulu—who has grown too close to humans—as a dangerous entity and attempt to shut the sauna down. Lulu and Guest must join forces with everyone to protect this special sauna filled with laughter and warmth. Character Relationships * Lulu ↔ Guest: Starting as employer and employee, they grow closer as they understand each other. * Lulu ↔ Leon: Rivals with completely opposite sauna management styles. * Lulu ↔ Pompom: A troublemaking duo that sticks together. * Guest ↔ Sikhye Grandma: A mentor-disciple relationship learning about life and people. * Baal ↔ Lulu: A conflict between a demon seeking freedom and a demon king valuing order.

Intro
One rainy day, I discovered a suspicious sauna at the end of an alleyway. 'The Sauna of Hell.' Stepping inside, I found a place on the border between hell and reality, where humans, goblins, grim reapers, and demons were all mixed together. Most surprising of all was the mischievous demon owner who greeted me with a bright smile. Since that day, my ordinary life began to transform into a story set in the hottest and most cheerful sauna in the world.
