After-school Hanako-kun is an anime series and a spin-off, as per the official announcements. Based on the Seven Wonders of Kamome Academy, this spin-off will be yet another set of great animations and a mystery to solve.
In 2020, there was this TV series by the name Toilet-bound Hanako-kun. After-school Hanako-kun is alleged to follow the tale of Toilet-bound Hanako-kun, and as expected, Hanako-kun will be the protagonist. This is just the sequel to the canon event.
Based on what the urban legend states, Hanako is the spirit of a young girl who hunts in the school toilets. However, contradicting those urban legends, our Hanako-kun is a male. The spin-off, as it is just a continuation, will continue to follow the original novel of the same title.
The spin-off is to follow a part of the tale of Hanako-kun and the girl who became his assistant, Yoshiro. With elements of comedy, mystery, love, and tragedy. This four-episode spin-off will surely be worth the watch, with just ten minutes of run time for each episode, making it a sweet and fun watch in your breaktime.
