Is Toilet-Bound Hanako-kun Finished? The Shocking 2025 Status Of The Manga And Anime
The question of whether Toilet-Bound Hanako-kun is finished is one of the most frequently asked by fans in the supernatural anime and manga community. As of December 17, 2025, the definitive answer is a resounding "No"—the main manga series is still ongoing, and the anime adaptation is deep into its second season, which is airing in 2025. This beloved series, known in Japan as Jibaku Shōnen Hanako-kun, continues to expand its mysterious world of Kamome Academy's Seven Mysteries, though its production schedule has recently faced significant, unavoidable changes.
The journey of Hanako, the ghost of the toilet, and his human assistant Nene Yashiro is far from over. However, recent developments concerning the creative team and the anime's split-cour release have made tracking the series' progress more complex than ever. From the author duo's health-related hiatus to the highly anticipated second part of the new anime season, here is the complete, up-to-date status of Toilet-Bound Hanako-kun.
The Creators: AidaIro Profile and Recent Production Status
Understanding the status of Toilet-Bound Hanako-kun requires a look at the creative force behind it: the mangaka duo known as AidaIro. This team is responsible for both the writing and the unique, highly stylized illustration that defines the series. Their recent production status has been the primary reason for changes in the manga's release schedule.
AidaIro: The Mangaka Duo Biography
- Name: AidaIro (あいだいろ)
- Composition: A duo consisting of two female artists.
- Roles:
- Iro: The Writer (sometimes credited with the alternate name Tokuna Nozomi).
- Aida: The Illustrator/Artist (sometimes credited with the alternate name Aida Hano).
- Debut Work: The duo launched the main series, Jibaku Shōnen Hanako-kun, in Square Enix's monthly shōnen manga magazine, G-Fantasy, in 2014.
- Other Works: They also created the four-panel (4-koma) spin-off series, After-School Hanako-kun (*Hōkago Shōnen Hanako-kun*).
- Signature Style: Their art is instantly recognizable for its delicate, gothic, and colorful aesthetic, often blending traditional shōnen manga elements with intricate, almost watercolor-like illustrations.
The Ongoing Manga: Why the Hiatus is Critical
The Toilet-Bound Hanako-kun manga is not finished. It continues to be published monthly in the G-Fantasy magazine. As of late 2025, the series has published over 120 chapters and has been collected into 25 tankōbon volumes, with new chapters continuing to develop the core relationship between Hanako-kun and Nene Yashiro and the overarching mystery of the school's apparitions.
However, the series recently faced a critical, though temporary, setback. Due to the health of one of the members of the AidaIro duo, an announcement was made in late 2025 that the manga would be going on a hiatus. This pause, intended to allow the author to undergo necessary medical treatment, underscores the dedication and personal toll of monthly manga production. While the hiatus is a concern for fans, it is a necessary measure to ensure the long-term continuation and quality of the series, confirming that the story is absolutely planned to continue and eventually reach its true conclusion.
The Anime Adaptation Status: Season 2 is Split and Active
Just like the manga, the anime adaptation of Toilet-Bound Hanako-kun is also not finished. The original 12-episode Season 1, produced by Studio Lerche, aired in 2020. After a long wait, the franchise received a major update that confirmed its continuation, not just with a short spin-off but with a full second season.
The new anime continuation is being released in a unique, two-part structure, often referred to as a "split-cour" release, throughout 2025.
- Season 2, Part 1 (The First Cour): This section aired from January to March 2025. It adapted major story arcs that follow the conclusion of the first season, deepening the lore of the Seven Mysteries and the bond between the main trio.
- Season 2, Part 2 (The Second Cour): This is the highly anticipated second half of the season. It is officially scheduled to begin airing in July 2025 and run through September 2025. This ensures that the anime is actively in production and release throughout the year, keeping the series firmly in the "ongoing" category.
Fans should note that the anime has also been preceded by the four-episode After-School Hanako-kun spin-off, which aired in late 2023. While the spin-off has concluded, its existence and the ongoing second season demonstrate the franchise's strong momentum and commitment to adapting the source material.
Why the Series is Far From Over: Key Unresolved Entities and Arcs
The narrative of Toilet-Bound Hanako-kun is built on a complex foundation of supernatural entities and unresolved mysteries, confirming that the story is nowhere near its conclusion. The central conflict involves the fate of the school's spirit world, the truth behind Hanako's past, and Nene's own looming mortality.
The Core Trio's Unfinished Business
The main characters are all burdened with major, unresolved plot threads:
- Hanako-kun (No. 7 of the Seven Mysteries): His tragic past as Amane Yugi, the boy who murdered his twin brother Tsukasa Yugi, and his ultimate wish to change his fate remain central. The mystery of why he became a school mystery and what his true goal is—beyond his duties at Kamome Academy—is the ultimate question.
- Nene Yashiro: Her contract with Hanako-kun and the curse that has shortened her lifespan is the primary ticking clock of the series. Her quest to find a way to break the curse or accept her fate is a long-running arc that has not been resolved.
- Kou Minamoto: The young exorcist from a powerful family is torn between his duty to exorcise all evil spirits and his growing friendship with Hanako. His training, his relationship with his older brother Teru Minamoto, and his moral conflict are ongoing.
The Unresolved Mysteries of Kamome Academy
The lore of the school's supernatural world, built around the Seven Mysteries, provides endless content for future arcs. While some mysteries have been addressed, the full implications of the Entity and the structure of the spirit world are still being explored. Key entities and concepts still driving the plot include:
- The full history and power of the Seven Mysteries, including entities like the Mokke (No. 6), the Misaki Stairs (No. 2), and the Confession Tree.
- The machinations of Tsukasa Yugi, Hanako's twin brother, who acts as a chaotic antagonist and is a major force in the supernatural world.
- The role of the Minamoto Clan, a powerful family of exorcists, and their internal conflicts regarding how to handle the school's spirits.
- The ongoing effects of the Boundary shifts, which continue to pull the characters into dangerous, reality-altering situations.
In conclusion, the status of Toilet-Bound Hanako-kun is one of vibrant, active continuation. The manga is powering through its major arcs, despite the author's necessary medical hiatus, and the anime is cementing its place in the modern supernatural genre with a full two-cour second season in 2025. Fans can rest assured that the story of the ghost and the girl is far from its final chapter, promising many more mysteries and emotional developments to come.
