Toilet-bound Hanako-kun: First Stall: Volume 1 (Toilet-Bound Hanako-Kun Boxed Installments)

Product Information

Anyway. Nene and Kou are also my sweet babies 💖 Nene is hilarious with her complex about her legs. Kou is a sweetie wanting to protect Nene from the One Ghost that wouldn’t hurt her at all 😂 Bless his soul. They are precious I'm glad Lerche did take the time to be as faithful as possible in adapting the unique art style and visuals, though at the cost many have pointed out, animation. In November 2023, a four-episode sequel to After-School Hanako-kun was announced and is set to premiere in Q4 2024. It was also revealed that a second season of the original anime had been greenlit. [34] Reception [ edit ] To have her wish granted, occult girl Yashiro Nene has summoned Hanako-san. But the ghost that appeared before her is a boy in the girls bathroom. Speaking of the cut arcs, it's something many manga readers have been harping about. Some choices are necessary occasionally and all you can do is trust Lerche to consider the new story layout, but it removes a lot of the nuance the manga did have in handling its character development and story arcs.

Hanako: "I'm a supernatural, the 7th of the school's 7 mysteries: Hanako-san of the Toilet. Nice to meet you!" I've noticed that those who read the manga before the show tend to have a more critical outlook on this anime's shortcomings. No spoilers here, though. Hodgkins, Crystalyn (July 4, 2019).

Akane Aoi is Nene’s friend who tells her spooky, despite not really enjoying them herself. Before Aoi reveals her feelings later in the book she is seen as this popular nice girl. Nene even points out that she would never have to worry about most things because she is popular. Despite everyone being nice to her and giving her attention she still feels like an outsider. Nene may be her friend, but she's always running around the school and keeping secrets. Aoi experiences something that most people feel once in their life, loneliness. Not the kind you feel when you're separated from society, but the kind you feel in a room full of people. She won’t allow herself to believe that people care about her which created an invisible barrier between her and the world. Even when Akane, her childhood friend, expresses his feelings to her she thinks he is lying. This self hate and this invisible barrier she has set she can neither receive or give genuine love. I appreciate how the author decided to reveal her true feelings later in the book then in the beginning. It gives the reader a new perspective and understanding on her actions leading up to the big reveal.

It has been serialized in Square Enix's magazine Monthly GFantasy since 2014. It has been collected in twenty tankōbon volumes as of August 2023. The story follows Nene Yashiro, a first-year high school student fond of occult stories, who ardently desires a boyfriend. For this, she tries to invoke Hanako-san from the toilet.

Nene gets involved in all sorts of supernatural stories by Hanako-kun, who's sadistic and slightly-- perverted despite being a ghost. Will Nene ever be able to lead a peaceful school life again? A heartwarming comedy that no one has ever seen before begins now... The first promotional video was released on November 9, 2019, with Ogata and Kitō voicing Hanako and Nene respectively. The main thing about this anime is that the adaptation is a play by play high-budget animatic of the manga. A good adaptation should add onto the original, but it follows it to a T; there's no new shots, no new content to really balance out what was removed and

With all the negative news about the coronavirus going on this year, I figured there’s bound to be at least one or more shows to relax and indulge myself in. When I saw the English version of the title, it reminded me that people have been hoarding toilet paper. But upon finishing this supernatural gem, I found myself eager for more. Sometimes in life there comes a surprise that hits you out of nowhere. Sometimes, there’s a show out there that doesn’t seem what meets the eye. And to say that in a positive light, it’s something we need about now. Hanoko is a bathroom ghost who is one of the Seven Wonders of the school. Since he saved Nene from being a fish her whole life, he now hangs around her all the time. To me it seems like this whole book is just Hanoko trying to make up for him killing his brother. All he does is give and give, not only helping the school but Nene as well. The only time I remember him getting upset is when someone hurts Nene or when he sees his brother for the first time in 20 years. Even when Kou tells Nene that he murdered someone, he only puts a seal on Kou’s staff. Even after Kou tries to exercise him, Hanoko hopes Kou will be successful in exercising him one day. When Nene is a few short days from her death he allows one of the seven wonders to trap her in a picture, in hopes that her life span will increase. He is willing to sacrifice his closest friend for her own benefit. Knowing it will leave him all alone again. He isn’t even sure if his plan will work. He doesn't even care if she ends up hating him, he just wants her to be happy and safe in the painting world. The manga is licensed in North America by Yen Press.
