Never thought a story with toilet in its name would make me cry.

Wow, this series just keeps getting darker. And I am not complaining.
In a previous review, I had mentioned that one of the things that makes this series scary is that all of these terrible things are happening to children. Yes, they are technically teenagers, but while other series like to portray teens as adults in young bodies, AidaIro accurately portrays teens as just slightly older children. What's terrifying about this volume is that terrifying things are happening to children by other children; on top of that, the perpetrator's childish nature is put on full display, making it both scary and sad.
Tsukasa's a little brat that I want to punt out a window, but the fact is he's a CHILD. So he's going to behave childishly and do what he wants out of childish impulse. This doesn't excuse his actions, but it drives home the point that this isn't a sociopathic, scheming villain, but a ghost child with supernatural abilities. And like real life children, he's going to test the boundaries of his powers and do what he wants because THAT'S WHAT CHILDREN DO. And Tsukasa is the perfect example of children not acknowledging and disrespecting boundaries.
As for the rest of the volume, I loved the Hell of Mirrors as a concept and adored the setting. Also, the hands were really fucking cute and I wish they had had more screen time. The artwork/ art style was as stylishly cutesy and creepy as always and there were several amazingly impactful scenes.
Another phenomenal volume in this series, can't wait to see where the story goes from here, but I've already got volume 8 pre-ordered so all that's left to do is wait.

4/5 Stars: ‘Toilet-bound Hanako-kun (Vol.7)’ by AidaIro.
→ Age Range: Young Adult.

Favourite Quote: ‘Hello. My name is ugly horse-radish.’
In-depth Rating:

General Comments: Toilet-bound Hanako-kin is translated by Square Enix and Co; story by Iro and illustrated by Aida. This is Volume 7. Reviewing Manga is complicated; reviewing each volume - individually- does not reflect the overall enjoyment of the series. As such, the star-rating should be utilised as a guideline only. If anything, you should pick up Toilet-bound Hanako-kun. The intent of this work is to recall Japanese Tales from Folklore and Mythology, using the contrasting genres of horror and comedy. See Volume 1 for a more personal review.

I took a long break from this series because it’s always a convoluted story, but it’s still fun when I take the time to dissect it.

This was definitely what I needed right now. I love this series it brings me so much comfort. Especially this volume, it's one of my favorites in this series. Just fyegushoipa[oifhdu I love it.

This is probably my favorite volume.
Also, really happy that Mitsuba's back.

What a CRAZY volume! With the return of one of my favorite characters in the series, I felt nothing but joy and happiness but then I remembered what series I was reading and DAMN. Twist the knife. Love it though.

5/5 estrellas.
Yo no puedo creer la MARAVILLA que crean estas mujeres. Encima con un arte tan precioso que hasta lo escalofriante lo hacen ver hermoso. Les beso las manos.
Y este tomo lo sufrí. Y también fanboyleé banda con Mitsuba y Kou 🥺💕
Y ahora sí, no sé qué me espera por delante, ¡sorpréndanme!

I can’t believe we actually got the return of Mitsuba in this volume, well, except that Mitsuba’s not fully himself. I think this breaks Kou’s heart the most, but it’s obvious that the change in Mitsuba that was caused by Tsukasa affected even Hanako and Nene. I’m somehow glad that the bit of kindness in Mitsuba is still in him after everything.
I read someone’s review seeing how the mangaka accurately portrays how these teenagers act like older children, say, Tsukasa being childish yet also demonic, and I agree with them. Their wishes and dreams can be called childish, but they’re all so young–even Hanako and Tsukasa, who might have lived for a long, long time, but they’re stuck in their young body, both physically and mentally. It makes the story more upsetting, because no children deserve to live in such dark conditions.
Not only Hanako, but I need to know more about Tsukasa as well because how can a child that can be clingy with someone he ‘adores’, can be cruelly twisted in the next second.

As with most volumes that cover content seen in the anime, I don’t have much to say about this volume.
The manga still had a lot of tension, beautiful artwork, and heartache with Mitsuba. I wish I had more to say, but I don’t. I’m glad though that I’m getting closer to new content I haven’t seen before and will therefore be surprised by where the story takes us!

Banyak yang tidak menyadari bahwa serial Hanako Si Arwah Penasaran ini sangat 'Kelam' mungkin karena berasalan bahwa ada komik lain yg lebih kelam. Mungkin mereka tidak menyadari bahwa semua hal kelam nan mengerikan ini dialami oleh anak-anak sampai remaja. Bukan sekadar dihantui atau menampilkan adegan Horor, Serial ini lebih dari itu.
Menceritakan kematian, pembunuhan, ajal yang semakin dekat sudah pasti merupakan tema yang sangat gelap, lebih gelap lagi tema seperti ini dialami oleh anak-anak. Di volume ini kita dibawa ke dunia dibalik cermin, aku suka dengan komedinya walau volume ini memiliki alur yang cukup lambat.
Awalnya aku juga tidak terlalu menyadari poin tema gelap di Hanako karena hanya beranggapan bahwa tema hantu sebagai latar saja. Tapi setelah membaca volume 5-7 aku mulai menyadari bahwa Aida Iro sangat sukses membuat kita terlena dengan komedi dan art yang manis serta cerita yang asik. Membuat pembaca tanpa sadar melupakan bahwa tema yang diusung sesungguhnya teramat gelap.

The cute cover isn't doing it justice😭🙏🏻, wym am shedding tears for this pinky cover thingy ahhh!!! I said I didn't like the ending of Mitsuba In my review of one vol, but the next time he's shown it's ruthless 😔, let my bro catch a break, I got my Mitsuba back but at what cost?!
Also I don't know, Tsukasa is so sick in the head but I love him regardless, I just wanna know what transpired between the two brothers that made Hanako end up killing him. Cause anytime Tsukasa sees Hanako, it's always "Amane this, Amane that, Amane Amane Amane Amane Amane Amane Amane Amane Amane" AHHHH!

4,25/5 ⭐️
Ça m'avait manqué de lire ce manga ! Je me suis vraiment amusée en lisant ce tome, il était vraiment sympa et drôle !
Personnellement j'adore le personnage de Matsuba, je le trouve mignon et très attachants !
Même s'il y a un côté "sombre" dans cette histoire, je la trouve tout de même très mignonne et "safe place". J'adore ce manga !!!

mitsuba on the cover :) // tsukasa on the cover :(
there definitely could have been more development in this volume, especially because it solely focused on the hell of mirrors and the development of mitsuba, who is one of the most complex recurring side characters

This is the weakest volume in the series so far. Slow burn, nothing much happened, not very engaging. Though, there were three vital happenstances that I hope will be explained later.
(Also, I like Natsuhiko, haha. Even though that kind of behaviour exclusively works in manga.)

I liked that Yashiro and Mitsuba finally had some one-on-one time and their relationship & radish-senpai was hilarious! I’m really worried about Mitsuba moving forward now that he’s one of the school mysteries.

Tsukasa es un maldito desgraciado pero funciona muy bien como antagonista, la historia cada vez me gusta más. Las Aida iro son realmente talentosas 💕

Soy llanto. Este tomo me destroza y me vuelve a destrozar mil veces
