Synopsis
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.
