Synopsis

Rumors of the supernatural overrun Kamome Academy, namely the "Seven Mysteries." One of these mysteries is the legend of Hanako-san, the ghost of a young girl residing in the girl's bathroom on the third floor of the old school building, who is said to grant any wish her summoner desires. First-year high school student Nene Yashiro daringly summons Hanako-san in desperate need of love, but the Hanako that appears before her is a boy!

After Hanako-kun claims that he has no magical items of use, Nene tries various ways to get noticed by her crush. With her desperation reaching its peak, she gets into trouble after consuming a mermaid scale, which turns her into a fish. Hanako-kun rescues her, binding their fates together in the process; in return for this aid, Nene must become his assistant. Now entangled in the supernatural realm, Nene soon discovers that there's much more to the school's Seven Mysteries than basic rumors.

Preliminary (80/? eps)
This has quickly become my favourite piece of media EVER. I do not give it this title so lightly.

First and foremost, the art must be discussed. Personally, I think it's the most aesthetically pleasing thing I've seen in a WHILE. The colors are warm and the blocky artstyle is stunning.

Now, the story. I absolutely love it. I have always been interested in spooky stories. Urban legends are very enticing to me so the premise of this show instantly intrigued me. The characters are all very likeable and distinct. In particular, I love how realistic they behave knowing they're teenagers. I especially love how the ...

*Spoiler free mini review

Story 2/10

Pretty generic. If you've read other supernatural manga then you've read this one already. It paints itself as being dark and gloomy but in the end it's as lighthearted and DBZ.

Art 10/10

Holy f this manga is on the level of ther masterpieces like Oyasumi Punpun. While it does not delve into realism, it's typical manga style is seasoned with a style that is more stylized.

Preliminary (15/? eps)
I fail to see why it matters that he's the 'hanako of the toilet'. Most of the scene don't even have anything to do with the toilet. He could be the Bethoven of the music room or Ninomiya Kinjiro statue for F sake it still do not affect the story whatsoever. His weapon of choice don't even related to toilet. Just imagine a boy in bethoven clothing wielding a knive fighting evil spirit, the story do not change much even if you change hanako with bethoven. Even when his past is revealed, there's really no strong connection of him being hanako. Considering he want to ...
