The origin of AidaIro’s masterpiece! Toilet-bound Hanako-kun (ital) was originally published as a self-contained short series, and you can read those three chapters here along with AidaIro’s debut work, “My Dear Living Dead.” If you want to see Nene try to curse her ex to death, Kou fall off a roof (more than once), or Hanako-kun butt heads with a new group of School Mysteries, come and see where it all began!

On a day like any other, Nene goes to school only to find Hanako-kun acting like one of her normal classmates...?! Weirder still, even though he’s supposed to be a ghost, nobody seems to find the presence of this so-called Amane-kun strange at all. Nene is determined to get to the bottom of this, and her search leads her to a mysterious tower...

If Nene and Kou want to return to their own world, they have to kill “Amane Yugi” and “Sousuke Mitsuba”- or rather, the versions of them living within the canvas of No. 4’s boundary. Faced with that cruel choice, Nene instead proposes a way to escape from this fake world to the boy she can’t help but call “Hanako-kun.” At the same time, Kou tries to win over Mitsuba...but just who exactly is this “Mitsuba”?!

Nene steps into the spotlight! The mermaid kingdom hasn’t forgotten her, and they’re back to claim what’s theirs! Can Hanako protect her from becoming permanently fishy? Meanwhile, Kou makes friends with an odd ghost haunting the entrance to the middle school division. Kou has no idea who this guy was when he was alive, but that doesn’t mean he can’t help him solve his unfinished business! Will the junior exorcist be able to help this friendly...
