Will there be a second season of Toilet-bound Hanako-kun?
Manga status of the anime
So what about the manga? As we mentioned at the beginning of our article, the anime of Toilet-bound Hanako-kun is adapted from the manga of the same name written and illustrated by Iro Aida. The manga series, which started to be published in 2014, is published in Japan by Square Enix. Yen Press publishes the English translation of the series. The good news is that the manga is still ongoing. Sales of the manga series seem strong, and the cumulative circulation has already exceeded 6 million.
The last volume of the manga, which consists of 18 volumes in total, has not yet been translated into English, but it was published on August 26, 2022, in Japan. In the first season of the anime, only the first 7 volumes were adapted into it. So there is enough source material to create new seasons. It looks that the manga will not be an obstacle.

When is the release date of season 2?
The second season of Toilet-bound Hanako-kun has not been confirmed yet. We speculated about a second season while the official channels kept their silence on the matter. It seems that there is a strong audience waiting for the second season of the anime. The series is also a hit in Japan with its anime and manga. Although it has not been successful in disc sales, it needs to take into account the general decline in disc sales in recent years. If there is a renewal for the new season soon, approximately one year production period will be required. Considering all these, a new season does not seem possible before 2023. Stay tuned.
What is the plot of Toilet-bound Hanako-kun?
Various rumors circulate at the Komame Academy about Hanako-san, one of the school’s Seven Mysteries. Hanako-san, which has settled in the third toilet compartment of the girls’ toilet on the third floor of the old school building, grants the summons any wish when called by someone. Yashiro Nene, a freshman in high school whose mind is full of romantic dreams, also steps into this haunted toilet. As a result of the events, he becomes Nene Hanako’s assistant and tries to balance the spiritual and physical world with him.
In the past, Lerche Studio gave us great anime like ‘Given ‘and ‘Kanata no Astra. With the new anime adaptation ‘Jibaku Shounen Hanako-kun’, the studio gives us another epic show featuring flawless animation, an enticing story, and some unforgettable cute characters. Although it started as a comedy anime initially limited to a high school, it contains plenty of secrets and some dark events in its depth.
As the season progresses and more into the school’s underlying mysteries, it turns into a masterful horror anime. So far, it has clearly reached its true potential, and we hope it will get even better in season two. In the first season, the characters are introduced, but nobody’s inner world is descended. The events are also a mystery. The series will get deeper with a possible second season.
