Toilet-Bound Hanako-kun (地縛少年花子くん)

Have you heard the rumors?

About a library

that holds complete records of people's lives?

Or the thieving prankster Yousei.

Or a staircase that will lead you to another world.

A bathroom, home to a certain apparition.

One who will grant any wish for a price.

Bye!

Come on. It's time to go!

Right!

SEVEN

- You ready? - Yeah.

SEVEN

The seventh

of Kamome Academy's Seven Wonders.

Excuse me.

On the third floor of the old school building,

you can find Hanako in the girls' bathroom.

Have your wish ready.

And be prepared to part with something

you hold dear.

Just knock three times and say...

Hanako, Hanako, Hanako.

Are you in there?

Hello!

Hey! Don't you "hello" us!

Jerk!

We've got an apparition.

What? Come on.

It can't be that serious, can it?

Serious or not, it's still a problem!

Please help us, Hanako!

Fine, I'll do it.

But there's a price.

You'll pay with your body and do whatever I ask of you.

Sound fair?

-Yup! -Huh?

Bathroom cleaning, right?

Stop trying to make it sound dirty, pervert!

TOILET-BOUND HANAKO-KUN 2

PART I HANAKO-KUN OF THE BATHROOM

YASHIRO

KA**ME ACADEMY AFTER-SCHOOL CHANNEL!

Hello!

I'm Nene Yashiro!

Definitely a Grass-Type.

I fell under a mermaid's curse

and needed help from one of the Seven Wonders.

Number Seven, to be precise.

His name is Hanako,

and he lives in the girls' bathroom.

Since then, I've been working as his assistant.

We help apparitions whose rumors have taken

a dark turn to fix their reputation.

LITTLE BROTHER - HOT BIG BROTHER

Our friend Kou comes from a long line of exorcists.

The three of us broke the Yorishiros belonging

to Wonders Number Two and Number Five!

The Misaki Stairs and the Four o'clock Library,

respectively.

"There's a traitor among the Seven Wonders."

At least, that's what Hanako said.

He thought temporarily getting rid of them

would fix the problem.

After that, a boy named Tsukasa suddenly appeared.

He's Hanako's younger twin brother.

He replaced the representative

of Wonder Number Three, The Hell of Mirrors,

with another apparition.

A shy kid named Mitsuba.

And that's it!

My story with Hanako.

Phew!

With how dramatic my school life has gotten

since I met him,

I wanted to make a record

so I could keep track of it all.

But it feels kinda weird.

We've been through so much,

but I still barely know anything about Hanako.

Just that his real name is Amane.

He loves stars and donuts.

And that he killed Tsukasa.

He promised he'd tell me everything

he's been hiding one day.

But when is that gonna be?

I wanna know right now.

Oh! Sorry, Black Canyon!

When do you think Hanako will finally open up?

Hey! Wait!

Where are you going?

Get back here, silly!

FOURTH PERIOD BIOLOGY LAB

Have you heard this one yet?

The story about the First Wonder.

Huh?

The three Clock Keepers.

Apparently, they guard an old clock

hidden somewhere in the school.

It's a physical manifestation

of the passage of time on campus.

If you were to move its hands,

you could control the flow of time within the school.

However, the three Clock Keepers are there

to prevent that.

They represent the past, the present, and the future.

And they take their job very seriously.

If you try to touch the clock

without their permission,

they exact their revenge by stealing

all the time you have left.

Well...that's what the rumors say at least.

Wow.

That sounds pretty creepy.

Not another one of Aoi's rumors!

I used to love these scary stories

before I met Hanako,

but now they give me the creeps,

because every single thing she's told me so far

has turned out to be true!

I hope this isn't one of those.

No way.

It's too ridiculous.

Hey, Nene?

Oh, yeah? I'm sorry.

What is it?

It's just that I, uh...

I wanted to tell you something for a while now.

The truth is, I...

I know...

I...

- -

What was that?

What happened?

Huh?

What's going on here?

Where'd this dust come from?

The desks are rusted out.

Why is my lunch rotten?

-The textbooks are ruined! -No.

My Hanitarou!

Is your stuff okay, Aoi?

Yeah.

I don't know why, but it's all fine.

Really? That's great!

Ow!

This plant.

I brought it from the gardening club

before class started.

It was just a little guy a few hours ago,

so what's with the growth spurt?

It's almost as if...

GIRLS' BATHROOM

It's almost as if time skipped forward?

Exactly!

Everything was normal all day,

but when we came back from biology

for fourth period,

the classroom was completely different!

Everybody's stuff was affected

except for mine and Aoi's.

Interesting.

Time, huh?

-Hanako! -

What's wrong?

-We've got trouble! -Hm?

It's my friends Satou and Yokou from class!

Are you saying something happened

at the junior high, too?

That's right! It's terrible.

Those guys, they both...

They both have long grandpa beards now!

I found them like this at the end of fourth period!

They seem fine with it.

Impressive.

So, what do you think?

An apparition?

Yup. There are plenty in the Boundary,

but only a few of them could do something like this.

It's a Wonder.

I'm almost certain of it.

-Huh?! - One of the Wonders?

Aoi told me a new rumor.

It was something about a clock on campus.

You think the Keepers are behind this?

Oh, good. You already know about them.

Wonder Number One.

The Keepers of the Clock.

They control time.

But they each have their own power.

Keeper of the past, who can rewind time.

Keeper of the present, who can stop time.

And Keeper of the future, who can speed it up.
