Prior To Toilet-bound Hanako-kun ended up being the collection we have actually familiarized and also like, it initially had a three-chapter mini-series that ran in Regular Monthly GFantasy in 2014. Those phases have actually currently been incorporated right into a brand-new Quantity 0, which offers viewers the opportunity to see the beginnings of these personalities on their own. Does it verify beneficial? Allow’s discover!
The tale starts similarly as the primary collection, with the lead character Nene Yashiro considering the rumours of a college secret. It’s stated that a women ghost called Hanako-san haunts the third-floor women’ washroom and also will certainly give your dream must you discover her. Nene looks for Hanako-san and also is stunned to discover the ghost is really a kid referred to as Hanako-kun, however that does not prevent her from making her dream …
As it ends up, Nene’s puppy love unloaded her as a result of her “chunky radish legs” and also currently she wishes to curse him to fatality! Hanako-kun is greater than pleased to give this dream and also lays out to eliminate the ex-boyfriend, however Nene rapidly knows that what she desired had not been to have her dream provided however somebody to talk with regarding the circumstance.
Phase 2 changes emphasis to Nene ending up being buddies with Hanako-kun and also they likewise present Kou. As generally collection, Kou is an exorcist that intends to purge Hanako-kun prior to he can bring injury to any one of the pupils. Both battle bitterly, however possibly Nene can verify a beneficial intermediator that can stop them from damaging each other.
The 3rd and also last phase is a lot more light-hearted and also informs the tale of Hanako-kun approving a various want Nene, one in which she desires she had the ability to see the superordinary spirits around her. Hanako-kun cautions her that having this capacity might place her at risk, however Nene demands it no matter!
While the partnerships and also individualities of our actors are a little various to what they ultimate come to be, it’s clear that things that made Toilet-bound Hanako-kun unique were currently existing also in this mini-series. Mangaka group AidaIro’s art work and also narration might not be as refined, however what gets on display screen right here is still one-of-a-kind.
This is particularly real of the art work which maintains the hectic design of Aidalro’s later job where there is a great deal obstructed right into each panel, however it never ever seems like excessive. The thick describes utilized for the personalities make them quickly recognisable at a glimpse and also the activity is very easy to adhere to as a result of this design.
The largest adjustment is that Hanako-kun does not appear to have the very same mentally billed backstory as his later equivalent does, however, for a mini-series that has no time at all to discover it, that’s not a negative point. Nene and also Kou are basically the like their later selves, right to Nene despising individuals teasing her regarding her legs (a trick that I have actually constantly appreciated). Also the rabbit-like supernaturals called Mokke make a look and also depend on no excellent, customarily.
Being so comparable to the primary collection suggests this is a very easy read for those currently knowledgeable about the globe or setup. With so couple of distinctions this just seems like even more of Toilet-bound Hanako-kun, which is no poor point. An additional motivation for followers of Aidalro’s to grab this launch is the incorporation of an unassociated one-shot called My Precious Living Dead.
My Precious Living Dead is from 2013, a year prior to the group began service Toilet-bound Hanako-kun. The tale is embeded in a globe where zombies stroll and also the lead character is a necromancer sent out on objectives from the church to remove them. This is a much darker tale than I would certainly have anticipated from Aidalro, however it verifies absorbing just the same. The art work for this isn’t like in Toilet-bound Hanako-kun ( either the primary collection or these 3 phases) however it’s still really comprehensive and also records the battle scenes and also feelings of the actors well. If you’re a follower of Aidalro’s job after that this deserves the cost of admission by itself, particularly considering that it uses up simply under half the quantity on its own.
Toilet-bound Hanako-kun Quantity 0 concerns the West many thanks to Yen Press and also has actually been converted by Alethea Nibley and also Athena Nibley, that likewise service the primary collection. The translation reviews well and also there work translation notes consisted of at the end of guide. Additionally consisted of in this launch is a colour web page at the start.
In General, Toilet-bound Hanako-kun verifies itself an eye-catching acquisition for followers of both the collection and also Aidalro’s job all at once. There is lots of enjoyable to be had in seeing the modest beginning of this dream collection and also as soon as you’re performed with that, the consisted of one-shot will certainly exist to offer something totally various.
