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

Product Information

One of the things I love the most about Toilet-bound Hanako-kun, in addition to its characters and its premise, is its art. The panels and character designs are some of the most unique I’ve seen, and I really enjoy the style of the art in Toilet-bound Hanako-kun. So much so, it’s one of my all-time favorites. If you enjoy stories that are centered around the occult or urban legends, manga with a unique style, or enjoy stories that are full of mystery, Toilet-bound Hanako-kun is a must-read. Not only is it one of the most charming supernatural manga series I’ve ever read, but the fact that it’s character-centric also allows you to connect with the characters and they are relatable as well. On top of all that, the Toilet-Bound Hanako-kun volumes are some of thebest-looking I’ve ever seen. The volumes themselves are of nice & consistent quality through out. There is some additional art in the form of the poster and the surprise Hanako sitting on a toilet inside the box once you take the books out. The Toilet-bound Hanako-kun manga box set is compact. It even fits on a Billy Bookcase shelf, which is nice. This box set is easy to display and it looks great on display too. One other thing I want to mention is that they added magnets to this box set. Most box sets have velcro that keeps them shut. I really appreciate the fact that Yen Press went the extra mile here with the addition of the magnets because they make the box set feel more premium. And then you open up the box set, and you see all of the bold and colorful spines of Toilet-bound Hanako-kun. Overall, it’s a high-quality box set and it has a beautiful design. Toilet-bound Hanako-kun by AidaIro was first released with English translation in individual volumes, but Yen Press is now releasing manga box sets of the series, which they have fittingly named the Toilet-bound Hanako-kun Boxed InSTALLments. The first box set is expected to release on May 23, 2023, and it collects the first 10 volumes of the series.

If you are new to the series, Toilet-bound Hanako-kun is a unique supernatural manga set in Kamome Academy, where rumors of the “Seven Mysteries” run wild. One such mystery is one of our main characters, Hanako-san, who resides in the third stall of the third-floor girls’ bathroom. When summoned, it’s said he grants any wish. High schooler and occult fanatic Nene Yashiro heads up to the bathroom to make a wish, but the Hanako she meets is a lot different than she expected.

Set in Kamome Academy, a school famous for its rumors regarding its Seven Wonders and other supernatural occurrences, the story follows Nene Yashiro, a first-year high school student who wants nothing more than a boyfriend. In her search for love, she goes to the third stall of the girl's bathroom to summon the ghost "Hanako-san" in hopes of getting a wish granted. Much to her surprise, "Hanako-san" turns out to be "Hanako-kun," a boy ghost with a dark past. After an unexpected turn of events, Nene finds herself with a new wish and spiritually bonds with Hanako-kun, becoming his assistant. Yashiro helps Hanako-kun destroy evil supernatural entities and assists him in manipulating school rumors to help maintain the balance between the spirit and human worlds. As she works closely with Hanako-kun, Yashiro finds herself caring deeply for the mysterious boy and wants to learn more about him.
