Never did I ever think I would be so endeared to a series I was so sure was going to be toilet humor. It wasn’t, though. It was actually a fun supernatural mystery with an art style, at least in the anime, that mesmerized.

What to Expect From The Toilet-Bound Hanako-kun Manga?
While the first season of Toilet-Bound Hanako-kun was a season with production problems, they weren’t too terribly detrimental. The first season re-arranged some arcs, and did skip a couple of full chapters – two of those chapters being a whole mini-arc – but while the manga is worth going back to read for the skipped chapters and all the comical mini-skits they did not adapt, there is nothing that merits needing to read the series from the beginning. You would still understand the story perfectly if you just jumped into the manga.
Thankfully, the second season of Toilet-Bound Hanako-kun was a lot better in animation quality and skipped less.
As for After School Hanako-kun, the anime – both parts of it – skipped so many chapters you mind as well just read it from the beginning.

The Toilet-Bound Hanako-kun manga is still ongoing. Since launching in 2019, it usually releases two volumes per year.
The After-school Hanako-kun manga is still ongoing, but, despite launching in 2018, only has two volumes out as it has been on indefinite hiatus as a side project.
