Three years after the original Toilet-bound Hanako-kun anime aired and much anticipation from a series of countdowns, fans of the cutest toilet ghost are getting a new series. After-School Hanako-kun is a new, short anime project coming in October.

As the two of them build an unlikely friendship, Nene learns that there is a hidden world full of supernatural beings.
After-School Hanako-kun
After-School Hanako-kun is a series of short stories separate from the original story. Nene and Hanako are usually busy with supernaturals while school is in session. However, these supernatural beings don’t take breaks just because school is out! There is still much more to be done after school. Nene and Hanako have their work cut out for them.
