Hello everyone! This is Saori from Otaku Republic!

Happy 10th Anniversary! Congratulations! Today, I’m introducing a series that has been airing as a winter anime since January 2025! Did you know that this series is celebrating its 10th anniversary!?

The currently airing winter anime, “Toilet-Bound Hanako-kun”, has actually reached its 10th anniversary! Congratulations! This series revolves around Japan's famous Seven Wonders of the School. The story follows high school girl “Nene”, who tries to summon the ghost of “Hanako-san”, a girl said to haunt the school’s restroom. However, the ghost that appears is not *Hanako-san*—but “Hanako-kun”, a boy!?

As Nene grows closer to Hanako-kun, she encounters many eerie school legends. The series has captivated fans with its mysterious atmosphere and adorable artwork! Season 2 is currently airing, while the manga is gradually revealing hidden secrets as it heads toward its climax!

The “Hanako-kun” 10th Anniversary Museum features special newly drawn illustrations, massive character panels, anime and manga setting materials, past merchandise displays, and immersive exhibits that bring the series' world to life. The best part? Admission is completely free! This is a must-visit destination for all fans!

“Hanako-kun” has continued for 10 years because it perfectly blends mystery, eerie charm, stunning artwork, and compelling characters. Season 2 is currently airing, so if you haven't watched it yet, be sure to start with Season 1! I also recommend the short comedy spin-off anime for a fun, lighthearted experience!
