I absolutely adore Toilet Bound Hanako-kun, so right when I saw this I immediately read it. The art is amazing like always, and it's honestly amazing how much Aidarlo has improved. The "Dear My Living Dead" story was amazing, and caught me by surprise lol (I was wondering what it had to do with TBHK haha). Also, it's interesting to see how the characters change! Kou looked different (and Teru was never introduced), and Nene's story is also interesting! Of course, I think the current story is the best version, but I feel like before, Nene was a bit more interesting. Highly reccomend!

As a prototype volume this was very good, maybe even too good. I enjoyed reading toilet bound volume 0 more than the actual series. The main series has too slow of pacing for my liking and reading something faced pace was very enjoyable. I would call this a rough draft for toilet bound that I wish was the actual thing. For the final chapter the author writes a conclusion for the 4 chapters and I hope that the author expands on that ending for the actual series. I can see it being a very good conclusion for the series if It follows the same structure.You don't have to read this volume, but if your're a fan of the series I would recommend reading because you can see how the author has improved and there's faster pacing. Overall I enjoyed this more than the actually series and I think it's a solid 8/10.

Synopsis

Rumor has it that on the third floor of Kamome Academy's old building, there exists the spirit of a young girl named Hanako-san in the girls' restroom. It is said that whoever summons Hanako-san is granted any wish they desire. When high school first-year Nene Yashiro discovers her boyfriend's disloyalty, she decides to call upon Hanako-san to enact revenge. To Yashiro's surprise, she comes face to face with a boy instead of a girl! Hanako-kun, bored out of his mind, is delighted to see someone enter. As the third-generation Hanako-san of the Toilet, it is his responsibility to watch over the students of the school—and that includes fulfilling their wishes. However, nothing can be done until someone summons him. Thus, the meeting between a human and a ghost marks the beginning of a curious relationship. [Written by MAL Rewrite] Included one-shot: Itoshi no Living Dead (My Dear Living Dead)

If you like the main hanako-kun series, you'll definitely like this, maybe even better. I love so many aspects of this and the third chapter is amazing. The characters are interesting and the story has a very intriguing direction. It's so cool to see the differences between this and the series. I love both. My Dear Living Dead is SPECTACULAR. No words. Absolute Cinema. It'd be cool to see it get a full adaptation but the plot would probably change a bit like it did for hanako-kun. Really something of its own. This is a genuine 10/10 not even exaggerating. TBHK AND MDLD back-to-backis such a killer combo. AidaIro cooked with this one my goodness.

I know 7 may seem low for some people but I think that 5 is an average score, so 7 is fair. I enjoy the Hanako manga a lot. So when I heard about this chapter, I was very excited to read it. STORY: Now I think the concept is very interesting. I like how AidaIro made the world of where the characters live like a gothic dystopian vibe. However, the story is not outstanding. I think the ending was pretty dark and unexpected but it wasn't like it was a big shock (obviously because it's just a one-shot chapter) I think I would've likedit if they had explained how the Living Dead worked better since it seemed a bit confusing. ART: It's not as great as the other chapters but it's quite good, not much to say. CHARACTER: I think for a one-shot chapter the characters are okay. I would've liked to see the characters more mature and rational. Lily was sort of annoying but it's not a big hurdle in the story. ENJOYMENT: I enjoyed it a lot, again, the veryconcept is interesting. Not that much to say about it. It's a good, fair read.
