Toilet-Bound Hanako-kun Manga Resumes on August 18

The manga entered a hiatus in the magazine's December 2025 issue on November 18, due to Aida's medical treatment for an unspecified illness.

The series took a break in July 2025 and returned in August 2025.

Yen Press is releasing the manga, and it describes the story:

"Hanako-san, Hanako-san...are you there?"

At Kamome Academy, rumors abound about the school's Seven Mysteries, one of which is Hanako-san. Said to occupy the third stall of the third floor girls' bathroom in the old school building, Hanako-san grants any wish when summoned. Nene Yashiro, an occult-loving high school girl who dreams of romance, ventures into this haunted bathroom...but the Hanako-san she meets there is nothing like she imagined! Kamome Academy's Hanako-san...is a boy!

Aida launched the ongoing manga in Square Enix's G Fantasy magazine in 2014. Square Enix published the manga's 25th volume in October 27. Yen Press published the 23rd volume on November 20, and will release the 24th volume on July 28.
