Toilet-bound Hanako-kun, an ongoing TV anime based on the supernatural manga of the same name, is returning to Japanese airwaves in January of 2025, and now a new piece of key art (below) has been revealed for the series. Crunchyroll will also stream the second season as part of the Winter 2025 anime simulcast lineup.
Square Enix serializes the original Toilet-bound Hanako-kun manga by Aidairo in their Monthly GFantasy shonen manga magazine. Yen Press also publishes an English language version of the series. Yohei Fukui directs the second season of the TV anime at animation studio Lerche. Yasuhiro Nakanishi provides the series composition and Mayuka Itou provides the character designs.
Crunchyroll describes Toilet-bound Hanako-kun:
Kamome Academy is rumored to have many mysteries, the strangest of which involves the mischievous ghost of Hanako-kun. When occult-loving high schooler Nene Yashiro accidentally becomes bonded to him, she uncovers a hidden world of supernatural beings. Now the two of them are conspiring to keep the peace between student and supernatural—that is, if they can only stay out of trouble themselves.
