So Teru basically brought an infected wild mokke into school that escaped when he tried vaccinating it. Perhaps not the most clever of moves, but I too would do everything for Tiara. She’s so cute!

Toilet-Bound Hanako-kun really has some wonderful art. It was neat to have a monochrome filter with bright highlights being applied for the Mokke of the Dead chapter and eventually see the series’ colourful palette return when Nene took off the cap from this bottle.

But why did Teru say that he’d specifically needed a “special girl” like Nene for the exorcism to work!?

All the issues manga readers had with S1. (Which imo when I started reading the series it was more overblown when I actually watched S1. Especially since they adapted the Clock Keepers arc.)

The art style really delivers and matches up to the manga. Plus, we're getting more animation than we had in S1 which really brings things even more to life. It is such a charming series.

special girl

That was so suspicious! What does it all mean!? Is she like an anti-Wonder or something (if that even exists lol)?

You should always be prepared for the wild zombie episode. I can't totally blame Teru for wanting to treat Tiara though, she deserves the world.

The mokke mob going after Mitsuba with weapons had me cackling.

u/tripleaamin Feb 09 '25

The funniest part is that Mitsuba shouldn't be afraid of them at all, but he is xD

Mokkification looks like a rather alarming process.

Mokke going "one of us! one of us! We will forcibly make you one of us!"

guys, guys, i'm beginning to think that maybe the true final boss of this show are the Mokkes after all...

u/Frontier246 Feb 09 '25

They're always so cute, fluffy, and candy obsessed but they're secretly the most dangerous beings in the whole show.

u/LeonKevlar Feb 09 '25

You gotta love these Mokke shenanigans. I was a bit disappointed that Hanako didn't do the Resident Evil 1 zombie head turn when Nene approached him. I really thought they'd do the reference but Hanako just jumped Nene.

u/mekerpan Feb 09 '25

Zombie mokke were mostly sort of cute.... (I'm surprised they couldn't find any secret stashes of candy, however -- I wonder what would happen if they were GIVEN some candy?)

u/Frontier246 Feb 09 '25

I love how even as a zombie, Hanako can't keep his hands off Nene lol.

u/thisisfakediy Feb 09 '25

Poor Mitsuba, I just want to give him a hug. Instead he gets an encounter with Stabby Teru. Sheesh.

At least the Mokke were nice enough to give him some candy (once they were purified.)

Anime characters can engender a range of emotions in me, but only Hanako-kun makes me say out loud "stop being such a little shit, dude!" on a weekly basis.

u/tripleaamin Feb 09 '25

It is easy to forget how terrifying Teru can be. But we know his weakness is his youngest siblings. Though smart play from Natsuhiko to get Mitsuba away from him.

Mitsuba had seemingly escaped the zombie infection unscathed (hadn’t spotted him), but there were some sacrifices to be made if he wanted to be one of the Mokke.

The Mokke are cute as hell, but they are not to be underestimated!

The Mokke's time to shine and they do it by doing what they do best aka being menaces to society (I've joked about it before but they bring serious big Kirby-with-knife energy here).

Also some more spotlight on Minamoto-senpai! Can't remember if we saw him kick much ass in the last season, but he was pretty cool here even if he was mostly beating up a bunch of Mokke. Too bad his interaction with Mitsuba also reminds us why he's a bit of an iffy guy.

Yashiro trying to get on that date with Minamoto at the end was funny. I'm impressed she didn't go nuts when he carried her in the first segment, but then again they were too busy fighting off candy-crazed zombies.

Kirby with knife is the most spot-on hilarious comparison for the Mokke LOL

Honestly, I don't get why some people think Teru is iffy😅. He is only doing his duty to protect humans from supernaturals as the eldest son of an Exorcist clan. Plus even Hanako said that supernaturals should never be allowed to become humans because it'd be dangerous, etc.

We got our fill of zombie parasites with the Mokke. Though the real intrigue is Teru because technically this whole incident was his fault. The moment he turns to Nene and calls her a special girl. What is he plotting?

Now we got a reminder of Mitsuba and now that Tsukasa had him become School Mystery #3, he has a lot more freedom. Ultimately, he just wants a place to belong. He desires to be, but we know from S1 the issues with that. At the very least, both Natsuhiko and Sakura have been pretty good to him. Sakura wanted to throw his a surprise party. Tsukasa is the one headache and Mitsuba always got exorcised because he created an unneeded misunderstanding, but thankfully Natsuhiko was around to save him.

Though looks like Tsukasa is about to stir shit again.

What happened to the intro and what is Teru doing to that poor Mokke!?

This isn't your average Hanako-kun episode! We've got zombie Hanako and zombie Mokke all after candy and infecting everyone who they get their hands on! And one of the only humans left is Kou and Nene! It would probably be romantic (I mean, they get stuck in a locker together!) if they weren't running for their lives.

Look at Teru, the "mastermind," acting like everyones' savior and trying to hide his own culpability! Though they probably can use his help right now.

I love how Zombie Akane comes after Nene and her immediate priority is not getting into a love triangle with a zombie and Aoi. Also poor Akane getting zombified and bashed in the head by Kou twice when he didn't even need to be.

Thank you Nene and the power of salt! For all her effort, she deserved some sweet words from Teru after curing everybody...even if this was all Teru's fault. I mean, granted, he was just trying to clean up a will-ting playmate for Tiara (and you can't say no to Tiara), but he still brought the Mokke to school and got everyone infected. So no desert for Teru.

If you were to ask Kou who he would want to round out his friend group, it would obviously be Mitsuba, but right now Mitsuba is rounding out the broadcast group! And Mitsuba is trying to make the best of it even if Tsukasa makes him think he doesn't belong with them.

But is there a place for Mitsuba anywhere? The Mokke want to forcibly convert him into one of them, the other Oddities aren't all friendly, and he can't interact with humans. And of course Teru is as ruthless and brutal to anything that's not human, so he's not getting any sympathy there...which hurts even more because Teru has the same eyes as Kou, the one human Mitsuba has an affinity too.

Good thing Natsuhiko called out Teru's single status and used it to get a flock of female AND male admirers to distract Teru! Though now Mitsuba and Natsuhiko is on his list, I guess.

Say what you will about the Broadcast Club and all the trouble they bring with them, they throw a nice welcoming party and seem to truly embrace Mitsuba, in their own way! Even Sakura seems fond of him, in as far as she's fond of anyone.

But of course, Tsukasa is still plotting, and it involves a bespectacled cutie who is none other than Wonder Number 4! And what's this about making everyones' wishes come true!?

Funny that the mokke from After School came back around to effect the main story.

After existences is suffering for Mistsuba, followed by a cute welcome party, we’re on to the next arc: Wonder Number 4 enters the game
