WOAHWOAHWOAH!

Want a fun, compelling story to binge on? Want to enjoy eye pleasing art you can stare at all day? Want to see a good mix of character development and relatability? Want to enjoy every frame and panel in this manga? Well, if so, I recommend taking a peek at this manga because personally, all of this criteria has fulfilled me.

STORY: 10
To me, this story is original in my opinion. Although the idea of having a supernatural partner is an old concept, the way the author molds that cliche into her own special thing in a school setting with little adventures involving supernatural school ...

Jibaku Shonen Hanako-kun is an enjoyable read, with fun characters, new twists on urban legends and tropes, and beautiful art.

Story - At the beginning of the manga, it might seem like the story will be somewhat episodic or nonlinear. Rest assured, though, a plot does come in to play. Yashiro Nene, a human girl, meets Hanako, a ghost, and the two wind up supernaturally linked to one another and must figure out the mysteries of the school the manga takes place in together. It's not a terribly unusual premise, but the writing makes it fun and interesting nonetheless. As the story progresses, there are ...

There are three reasons to read this manga.
1. The art style is unique. It has a cute, surreal, and sometimes creepy vibe to it.
2. It has some very cute and very good boys. Let me re-emphasize: EVERYONE IS EXTREMELY CUTE.
3. The story involves the fleeting, melancholic nature of relationships between ghosts and humans. Also, the ghosts are your classic "I was unhappy during life and am now trying to find fulfillment by remaining here after death" kind of thing. There's a pervading feeling of sadness behind all of the cute character designs and strange supernatural occurrences.

If this sounds like your thing, it probably is.
But I ...

I see a lot of reviews on opposite sides of the scale. It feels like people are either extremely harsh or extremely in love with it. I enjoy the series personally but i'd like to be fair.

Characters 7/10
I do agree with people in saying some characters lack depth in terms of issues and just overall info on said character. I think Nene is enjoyable in the sense of a hopeless romantic due to me knowing people like that. The leg jokes are a bit repetitive and sometimes annoying. I do feel like character development for some important characters doesn't exist and that the ...

Art: 9/10: It's cool and gothic, honestly the only reason why anyone will stay to read this

Story: 1/10: Can't rant more about this. It started off with a pretty cool premise. Different mysteries and our main character trapped in a toilet, yeah?

The only problem is that our second main character has everything worked out for her. It's pretty much all your typical manga issues: everything being concluded with a simple swing of the knife, a single talk to from our second main character resolves the whole isssue that has been bothering our villains for a Long time, or coaxing enemies into submission; events conveniently happening ...

I just recently binged this amazing series and enjoyed every second! Shounen is said to be for boys but really girls will get a kick out of this! It's very hilarious and deep!

STORY 9/10
It has a very solid story and its fun like I'm always looking forward to something and something is always going on! It's like there will be something serious to lore and then there will be a chapter dedicated to something funny like "Zombie Mokke"

ART 10/10
The art style was AmAzInG it's super unique and fun! The creator obviously put a lot of effort into drawing each boundary and character designs!

Beautiful!, stunning!, Work of art!
Best one yet!!
This is what I consider music to my ears,
And,
What I think was something that I will never forget...
This is overall My favorite,
Due to drama and art.
When you think you've watched the anime but you think it pretty 👎,
You will notice how completely different this is compared to it.
this is Exactly the reason not to judge a book by its cover...

I've never wrote a review before but oh boy is this a disaster
Jibaku Shounen Hanako-kun is a manga that looks really fun and has a quite unique style. I've been following this manga ever since it started yet it turned out to be a huge disappointment.

Story:
A story about urban legends in a school, interesting at first yet actually just a cliche plot. Most of the time the plot is just Nene getting rescued by her har-- friends. Super unrealistic and has tons of plot holes. This mangas only comedy source is Nene's legs. But pacing is the worst part here, it's been 64 chapters and ...

I don't think this manga is actually a 10/10, but after seeing so many unfair low ratings, I gave a 10/10 for balancing it. I still love it though, and god, I adore Hanako-kun.

Let's start with the creators. There are two separate people for art and writing, however, they're a team and call themselves AidaIro. Seeing two people always working together and having experience with working with each other beforehand is something I rarely see. It's not related to the manga, obviously, but I wanted to point it out.


STORY: The story is revolving around a school full of supernatural things and rumors. Our heroine ...

Although the story comes from a old urban legend, the way the author wrote it and made it their own is honestly amazing. The characters are fun, the way they introduce new characters makes you want to keep reading to find out about them. There hasn't been a manga I've read in a while that made me genuinely want to know more. Now don't get me started on the art. It's absolutely beautiful! The colors and the style blend together so well, I love it! I enjoyed every minute of reading it and I'm sad to say I finished the whole thing within a week, ...

4 years after joining this site I'm finally writing my first reviews and that's saying something. JSHK has been on my to read list for a while now and when I finally got around to it, I binged the entire thing in less than 24 hours (anime included).

There's really nothing I'd change about it. The art is phenomenal, the characters are very diverse and interesting, the concept is entertaining, the pacing is perfect and what's most important: it's unpredictable.

Sure, some of it follows the same pattern. Like Nene getting involved with one of the school's mysteries and them causing trouble - yet you'll never know ...

-this will probably only make sense if youve read the manga fully-

aaaa, to be short i prefer the manga over the anime. Its so cute and absolutely gorgeous, im always excited when a new chapter comes out. I think the problem alot of people have with it is there isnt a strong plot, but honestly i really love that about it. Think about it this way, maybe not all manga and anime HAS to have a strong plot. Like, theres a plot buried under there, but theyre just kinda enjoying their lives. Its cute, feels really in tune to the generation. I think it has ...

I started to read this manga in 2018 or so, and I fell hard in enjoyment! The plot was hilarious, the character so cute and stupid (in a joyable way) and the story just takes it turns!

The story starts with Yashiro Nene, who is in love with the school president, of course she isn't really in love with this guy, even if that guy is handsome, amazing, kind and... I will not spoil but have some knowledge on one thing or another.
So Nene hears the rumor of the seven legends (some urban known thing in Japan) and she goes to Hanako-san, only that ...

I AM TELLING YALL, THIS IS THE BEST THING I HAVE EVER READ IN MY LIFE!

I am really obsessed with this story and artstyle and more. If you like the anime please reade the manga. In my case manga is a lot better than anime so i gave the manga 10/10.
I feel like i have never even in anime jumped in schock or screamed like i did while reading this manga. My life goal is to get all the volumes cuz it was just that good.
I showed the manga to my friend and three days later she came screaming at me that she loved ...

Toilet Bound Hanako Kun is a very unique manga
Endlessly entertaining, the kind of thing that really puts a smile on my face. Or just makes me feel sad.
Sometimes it’s cute and funny, sometimes it’s dark and depressing.
Not like Made in Abyss, it’s not nearly as gruesome. It’s more subtle with the occasionally dark themes it presents. It’s not really “disturbing” in any way.
The art is amazing, creepy and cute all at the same time. It’s the kind of art that works for comedic cute moments and works for the occasional darker moments. It’s remarkably detailed and consistent, and something that you can appreciate even ...

Toilet bound Hanako Kun, adapted into anime in 2020 and since gained a cult following. Was the hype on this seemingly cutesy show worth it? Yes.

I am only going to focus on the Manga, but give the anime a go if you don't favor the idea of sitting through many chapters.

Oh boy, lots to unpack right here. The story was great, amazing, and the art is an absolute blessing to view. The characters were incredibly well built and I enjoyed this manga, though it is not finished.

Let's get on to the main part of what makes shows unique, the story. It starts as ...

I'm gonna skip every analyzation about this anime, and will plainly just give it a dazzling 10.

If you think this manga is just a fluffy romcom with no main story, then you are ABSOLUTELY WRONG about it.
This series is so much more than that, and its writing is absolutely beautiful.

First of all, I just want to clarify that you shouldn't believe the stats on MyAnimeList when it comes to this series. In Japan, this series literally had a solid fandom even before the anime aired. Some people called even called it a cult haha. As a youtube anime reviewer said, "i've seen this series being ...

It was an emotional rollercoaster to say the least. Starting off with a light-hearted situational comedy with some supernatural sprinkled in, slowly but surely a solid storyline begins to flow in, and it is wonderful. Characterisation is amazing, I ended up getting emotionally attached to all of them, and with all this angsty and dangerous situations that happen to them and them being on the verge of death you get really nervous but also thrilled with finding out how the story will take it turn.
The worldbuilding is really neat, a lot of concepts that get introduced early on appear later in the story and get ...

SHORT REVIEW~~

Jibaku Shounen Hanako-kun manga is typical sweet romance?

STORY - Well... I must admit that at the beginning I thought it would be another typical sweet romance but the story became more and more interesting.

ART - I pay attention to art style and I think that is amazing!. The drawings are so polished and cute.

CHARACTER - Some characters annoyed me but there are also a lot of characters everyone can identify with ^^

9/10
I hate the reviews that give this manga below a 7/10 because of the reasons to support it. I read most of the reviews that gave it that rating was mostly because of the enjoyment and they basically said that with every reason. If you don't enjoy the manga then drop it cause everything else in it is not bad.

story 9/10
The pacing is good, unlike the anime. And almost every arc has something to do with one of the 7 mysteries which keeps the pacing intact. In each arc, there is always a mystery being solved or a cliffhanger happening. It keeps me up ...
