What is "Oni to Tengoku"?
Before diving into the audio drama, it’s essential to understand the source material. Oni to Tengoku is originally a Japanese manga and light novel series written and illustrated by a renowned mangaka (authorship often varies by adaptation, but the core story remains consistent). The title juxtaposes two opposing concepts: Oni (Japanese demon/ogre) representing brutal desire, punishment, or otherworldly power, and Tengoku (Paradise/Heaven) representing salvation, purity, or forbidden love.
