Toilet-bound Hanako-kun, Vol. 18: Volume 18

Product Information

The Seven Wonders of Kamome Academy are the seven most famous supernatural rumors in the school, and their corresponding supernaturals serve to maintain the students' safety from murderous supernaturals. Leading them is Hanako, who is the Seventh and most famous school Wonder. Each one has their own Boundary, a divine yorishiro, and an aspect of the school that they control. Their Boundary is a section of the school where their power is the strongest. Boundaries are the 'sea' between the Near Shore, where the living reside, and the Far Shore, where other apparitions exist and thus contain a small amount of water on the ground. A divine yorishiro is an item they cherish that acts as the source of their power. When a yorishiro is destroyed (by removing its seal), the Wonder's designated seat as a School Wonder and their power is removed. Thus, they are usually kept in the deepest region of the Boundary or safeguarded by the wonder themselves. Sherman, Jennifer (July 4, 2019).

In the girls' toilet of the old school building, Kou has tied up Hanako in rope and suspended him from the ceiling. He asks Nene, who is gathered in the same bathroom, if they should get started with Hanako's introspection session.

Kou freezes, and his jaw drops as he turns around to look at Teru. Eyes sparkling, he excitedly tells him he will become one, and Teru comments on how fast he answered. Teru asks if it's really okay, though, and tells Kou that he's free to live his life however he wants. Kou affirms that he does want this, and that he wants to become strong like Teru, no matter how hard it is or how unsuited for it he may be. He tells him he wants to be a bigger help with his senpai, Nene's, lifespan, and he wants to become stronger so that he can one day exorcise Hanako if he has to. He says that he can't stay weak like he is any longer. Pineda, Rafael Antonio (December 22, 2022). "Toilet-Bound Hanako-kun Manga's Anime Project 'Restarts' ". Anime News Network .

Now in an even deeper panic, Nene increases speed and screams that she doesn't want to die like this, and calls out desperately for Sumire. She ends up tripping over a branch, but a hand grabs her before she can fall. No. 6 closes her mouth with his hand, a smile on his face. He says that humans seem to like to ask him that, and that he's heard the word "why" from them plenty of times.The scene changes, and we see Nene taking shelter from the rainstorm under a roof. As she wrings the rainwater out of her hair, she hears a shattering noise. She turns to look, and is surprised to see the boundary beginning to destroy itself around her. Nene begins running away, and wonders how this is happening. To the best of her knowledge, the only way to destroy a boundary is to destroy a yorishiro, but Nene was told that she was the only who can do that. She calls for Sumire-chan, and wonders what to do. Skittishly, No. 6 tries to hide from her behind the sakura tree. Sumire says he never knows when to quit, and wonders whether she should punish him or not. She chooses violence, and proceeds to tie him up and torture him by placing a heavy stone on his lap. (TLN: this practice is called Ishidaki, and is a torture method practiced during the Edo period in Japan.)

Can Nene overcome this ghost's regrets and self-loathing to find her way home?!" After everyone plays around more with the fireworks, Aoi is off to the side and taking a break. Akane brings her some fireworks, and asks if she's tired. She says she's fine. He asks if she made up with Nene, and she confirms that she did.

Hanako: "I'm a supernatural, the 7th of the school's 7 mysteries: Hanako-san of the Toilet. Nice to meet you!" Suddenly, he hears laughter. We see Mitsuba drape himself over Kou's shoulder, and tells Kou that he's behind him. Kou is surprised to see him, and as they stand in the middle of the street, he confusedly calls out Mitsuba's name. Kou says he isn't trying to act like a hero at all, and that he's always found Teru's treatment of supernaturals weird. He tries to say that he thinks Teru's opinion that every supernatural is evil is wrong, but Teru cuts him off.
