Synopsis:

Kamome Academy is steeped in local lore, particularly the enduring legend of Hanako-san, a spectral presence said to reside within the school’s bathrooms. The tale speaks of granted wishes for those who can successfully summon her, though countless attempts have ended in failure. Nene Yashiro, driven by personal aspirations, defies the rumors and manages to evoke Hanako-san, only to discover the entity is not the benevolent ghost of legend – but a boy named Hanako-kun.

This unexpected encounter draws Nene into a hidden world of supernatural duties. She becomes involved in Hanako-kun's work as a mediator between the mortal and spirit realms, uncovering the delicate balance he strives to maintain. The narrative explores themes of perception versus reality, responsibility, and the consequences of seeking quick solutions, all within an atmosphere blending everyday school life with subtle supernatural intrigue.
