Sinopsis of Jibaku Shounen Hanako-kun
The famous “Seven Wonders” that every school seems to
have are a staple of Japanese urban legends. One of the best known is that
of Hanako-san: the ghost of a girl who frequents the school
bathrooms. Kamome Academy has its own version of the legend of
Hanako-san. Rumors claim that if one manages to summon Hanako-san, she
will grant her summoner any wish. Attracted by gossip, many have tried to
invoke her, but all attempts have failed.
However, when Nene Yashiro, a girl with romantic hopes,
dares to summon Hanako-san, she discovers that the rumored “girl” is actually a
boy! After a series of unfortunate events related to Nene's romantic
desires, she is involuntarily involved in the world of the supernatural,
becoming Hanako-kun's assistant. She soon learns of Hanako-kun's
lesser-known duty: maintaining the fragile balance between mortals and
apparitions.
