Fans of the supernatural school mystery series Toilet-Bound Hanako-kun have been eagerly awaiting the return of Kamome Academy’s most mischievous ghost, and now the wait is almost over. A brand-new trailer has been released for Season 2 Cour 2, offering a tantalizing preview of what’s to come when the series resumes on August 10 with Episode 6. Rather than being labeled as a completely separate third season, these episodes are officially recognized as a direct continuation of Season 2, ensuring the ongoing storyline flows without interruption.
The trailer opens with a mix of whimsical humor and eerie suspense, highlighting the dynamic between Hanako and Nene as they navigate Kamome Academy’s ever-growing list of supernatural mysteries. Fans can expect more heartwarming banter between the duo, fresh supernatural encounters, and the kind of emotional moments that tug at the heartstrings while keeping viewers laughing. The animation quality remains consistent with Studio Lerche’s signature vibrant style, maintaining the series’ visual charm.
Returning to helm the production is director Yohei Fukui, supported by series composer Yasuhiro Nakanishi, whose work on pacing and tone has kept the anime faithful to its beloved manga. Character designer Mayuka Ito also returns, ensuring the cast retains their expressive, distinct designs that fans adore. Leading the voice cast once again are Megumi Ogata as Hanako, perfectly capturing his mischievous yet caring nature, and Akari Kito as Nene, whose energetic performance brings warmth and relatability to the story.
Based on the manga created by the duo AidaIro, Toilet-Bound Hanako-kun has been a staple in Square Enix’s Monthly GFantasy magazine since 2014, gaining a strong global following. Its success led to the spin-off manga After-School Hanako-kun, launched in 2018, which later received its own anime adaptation. Both the main series and the spin-off are available in English through Yen Press, making them accessible to audiences worldwide.
The story follows Nene Yashiro, a high school girl fascinated by the occult, who one day summons the rumored ghost of Hanako from the third-floor bathroom. Instead of the scary specter she imagined, Hanako turns out to be a quirky yet endearing spirit tasked with maintaining peace between the human and supernatural worlds. As Nene becomes his unwilling assistant, she encounters mysterious apparitions, strange rumors, and life-threatening situations, each revealing more about Hanako’s haunting past and the unseen forces at work in the academy.
Cour 2 is expected to expand on the mysteries introduced earlier in the season while diving deeper into the hidden rules of the supernatural world. Longtime fans can anticipate emotional backstories, tense confrontations, and playful comedic relief that balances the darker undertones of the plot. The trailer hints at new characters, unexplored mysteries, and potentially game-changing developments that will test the bond between Hanako and Nene.
With its unique mix of charming humor, heartfelt storytelling, and spine-tingling supernatural intrigue, Toilet-Bound Hanako-kun has carved out a special place in the hearts of anime viewers. The upcoming episodes promise to push that connection further, offering moments of laughter, fear, and emotion in equal measure.
As Kamome Academy’s ghostly adventures prepare to continue, fans are counting down the days until Episode 6 airs. If the new trailer is any indication, this next chapter will be just as captivating, if not more so, than what came before.
