It's been three days since they returned from the School Mystery Three, the Hell of Mirrors. To cheer up the depressed Kou, Nene heads to the Boundaries' Tanabata festival. She was supposed to be enjoying the festival with Hanako-kun and Kou, but suddenly she finds herself in the world 50 years in the past. And who should she meet there but Hanako-kun when he was alive!?

Through the workings of the School Mystery Clock Keepers, Kamome Academy's entire student body is covered in wrinkles!? To restore peace to the school, Hanako-kun teams up with a certain someone. Just when they thought the case was headed to its conclusion, the secret of Hanako-kun's assistant Nene is brought to light! What could it possibly be!?

EXPOSÉ! FIND OUT WHAT THE SCHOOL MYSTERIES DO AFTER SCHOOL! ​The ghostly Hanako-kun and his mortal assistant, Nene Yashiro, usually have their hands full resolving various supernatural incidents in Kamome Academy, but how do they spend their time when they get a break from all that? Come and watch the characters of Toilet-bound Hanako-kun play games, get sick, change genders, and discover world-shaking secrets during their laid-back after-school hours!

Shijima-san is willing to help Nene and her friends escape from the painting, but they don't have much time to reach the distant exit. And to make matters worse, Hanako-kun is pulling out all the stops to keep them from leaving...

After going to rescue Aoi, Hanako-kun and Nene are thrown from No. 6’s boundary and suddenly find themselves in a strange village, where they meet a girl named Sumire who seems to have a history with No. 6. Witnessing Sumire’s “wedding day” up close might just give Nene a hint on how to resolve the school’s impending crisis and save Aoi—but she’ll have to survive it first! Meanwhile, on the very banks of the Far Shore, Aoi and Akane finally put into words exactly what they mean to each other...

If Nene and Kou want to return to their own world, they have to kill "Amane Yugi" and "Sousuke Mitsuba"-or rather, the versions of them living within the canvas of Number Four's boundary. Faced with that cruel choice, Nene instead proposes a way to escape from this fake world to the boy she can't help but call "Hanako-kun." At the same time, Kou tries to win over Mitsuba as well-but just who exactly is this "Mitsuba"?!

The origin of AidaIro’s masterpiece! Toilet-bound Hanako-kun was originally published as a self-contained short series, and you can read those three chapters here along with AidaIro’s debut work, “My Dear Living Dead.” If you want to see Nene try to curse her ex to death, Kou fall off a roof (more than once), or Hanako-kun butt heads with a new group of School Mysteries, come and see where it all began!
