Majin Tantei Nougami Neuro is the comical form of Jigoku Shoujo, at least in my opinion. Each episode focuses on a different mystery/crime/injustice that must be solved, or in Neuro's case, eaten. Jigoku Shoujo has more serious pyschological undertones than Majin Tentei Nougami Neuro, but they're both well animated and very enjoyable to watch.
Both series are a case-by-case episodic manner, with some cases taking up more than one episode. Also, both are equally supernatural and while Neuro is more comedic and light hearted than Jigoku Shoujo, they both have a dark air to them.

while in Jigoku Shoujo, Enma Ai ends up sending people to hell.
It's not exactly the same, but it really looks alike a lot. I think that
