Key Storyline Developments in Season 2 Leading to Episode 22
Season 2 of Toilet-Bound Hanako-kun has intensified the overarching plot, with Hanako-kun, Nene, and Kou working to expose a traitor among the ranks of Kamome Academy’s Seven Mysteries. They have already destroyed the Yorishiro (vessels) of the Second Mystery (“The Misaki Stairs”) and the Fifth Mystery (“The 4 O’clock Library”), leaving only five mysteries remaining.
Meanwhile, Hanako-kun’s younger brother, Tsukasa, has been actively working with Sakura Nanamine, Natsuhiko Hyuga, and Mitsuba (who has become the Third Mystery, “The Hell of Mirrors”). Their goal is to approach the remaining Seven Mysteries that Nene and her allies have yet to encounter. Episode 21 was particularly impactful, revealing “Teru’s true colors” and his determination to save Aoi, even going as far as demolishing the Shrine. This sets the stage for the chaotic revelations in Episode 22, as Nagisa senses trouble and brings the matter to Teru’s father.
The Broader Context of Toilet-Bound Hanako-kun Season 2
Toilet-Bound Hanako-kun Season 2 is extensive, consisting of 24 episodes spread across two cours. The first cour of Season 2 initially aired from January 12 to March 30, 2025, with the second cour beginning on July 6, 2025. The anime adaptation, produced by Studio Lerche, continues to bring AidaIro’s popular manga to life, maintaining its unique art style and engaging narrative.
The return of the series after the first season aired in 2020 has been a significant event for fans. The production committee confirmed in November 2023 that two anime projects were in the works: Toilet-Bound Hanako-kun Season 2 and a four-episode sequel to After-School Hanako-kun, which aired in Fall 2024.
The continuing saga of Hanako, Nene, and Kou as they navigate the supernatural world of Kamome Academy and uncover its deepest secrets keeps viewers on the edge of their seats.
