Primera parte de una búsqueda. La animación es un poco extraña, pero a la vez adorable.

I love the art style of this series, especially this episode it give more than just school ghost. The mystery is entertaining and quite different from the previous episodes, much darker. I wasn't ready for the story to unfold.

It's a bit heavy and more serious than the previous episode, but still chills, I guess hahaha, especially with Nene.

Episode Context

Toilet-Bound Hanako-kun shifts into a more suspenseful gear with the start of a new two-part arc centered on the Misaki Stairs. The tonal balance that defines this series is on full display, creeping dread woven through with the show's signature playful humor. Expect atmospheric world-building as Kamome Academy's supernatural lore expands, pulling Nene, Hanako-kun, and Kou deeper into the school's Seven Mysteries. Lerche's visual direction leans into the haunting side here, with eerie settings that contrast sharply against the warmth of the trio's growing dynamic. The pacing is deliberate, prioritizing setup and tension over resolution. This is a mood-setter episode, it wants you unsettled and curious, not satisfied. If the first two episodes hooked you on the characters, this one tests whether the supernatural stakes can hold your attention equally.
