After-school Hanako-kun (放課後少年花子くん)

Here we go.

Hey, come here.

Have you heard the rumors about the school's Seven Wonders?

One in particular.

The seventh of the Seven Wonders.

Hanako, the Bathroom Ghost.

They say he's taken on a human girl

as his assistant.

Bathroom cleaning yesterday.

Bathroom cleaning today.

Bathroom cleaning tomorrow.

Scrubbing, scrubbing, and more scrubbing!

-No more! -You can do it, Yashiro!

- Hang in there! -Hey, jerk!

-A little help, here? -Nope, not a chance.

I keep the fishier effects of your curse

to a minimum, and in exchange,

you give me the sweat from your brow.

We agreed. Not backing out, are you?

No, but this will leave me

with zero time for a social life.

Miss out on a hot date because I'm cleaning toilets?

-So not cool. -

If only the Mokke would find a way

to make themselves useful.

Sigh.

- -You could use them as rags.

Stop that! It's mean, not to mention unsanitary!

Oh, Yashiro, whatever am I going to do with you?!

So much complaining.

You sound way too happy right now.

I'm distraught, I swear!

Thing is, if you don't clean the bathroom,

then that means you can't be my assistant.

But hey, I've come up with a great idea

to make it way more fun if you wanna see.

I guess so. Sure.

Ta-da!

The Kamome Academy

Summer Bathroom Daikon Festival!

Ow, ow, ow,

you really are impossible to please, aren't you?

-Ow. Owie. Ow. -Maybe.

But you're just plain impossible!

I'll go see if Aoi has any advice.

Hm.

Well, pretty much anything can be fun

if you do it with someone you like.

-That's my cue! -

Wanna have fun?

I'm your guy!

So, long story short.

I asked Kou to bring along some company for me.

Yo. 'Sup, Death Breath.

And this company would be?

- -

Stop, Teru!

You promised not to exorcise him!

- -

I don't wanna play! Swap me out, coach!

Yashiro, don't let him hurt me!

He's so hot.

We're going to need another mop to clean up my drool.

Go away!

Just leave me alone!

How could you betray me like this?

After all the things we've been through together.

It'll be okay.

I made it clear he was here for cleaning purposes only.

Or I thought I did, anyway.

Kou is telling the truth, Number Seven.

Really.

I didn't come along looking for a fight.

I'm here to clean up the filth and nothing more.

There, see? The scary dude wants to clean me!

Clean me! Clean me! Clean me!

-Bye, Minamoto. -He's out!

Find someone to help who doesn't have it in for me.

-Aww. -Is that so much to ask?

Who, though?

Minamoto was perfect

'cause my heart goes crazy whenever he's around,

so cleaning wouldn't seem so bad.

Hey, that's it!

The answer's simple.

Huh?

I'm still here,

and whenever you clean,

I'll be right there by your side.

Which means, you need only fall for me.

Fall for you?

- - Unh.

Sorry, but...that's a no.

-Big time. -

Words can wound!

I'm Nene Yashiro,

and this is my every day teenage life.

It used to be pretty normal.

But ever since I met Hanako,

my after-school time has taken a turn for the weird.

It started as another bright,

beautiful day of bathroom cleaning.

Hey, Hanako!

Or not.

Yashiro

Where are you? What's wrong?

- I...need help. -

It won't open!

Hm?

- -

- -They got me good.
