The official website for the supernatural anime Toilet-Bound Hanako-kun has announced two new characters joining the second season:

• Kako: Ootsuka Houchuu
• Mirai: Kugimiya Rie

The new cast members also shared messages:

Ootsuka Houchuu: “I will be playing the role of Kako. When I looked at the materials when I auditioned, I had a sudden realization: ‘Ah, this is the role for me.’ Ideas for the character came to me one after another, and I was able to speak fluently. I had a lot of fun acting, and I was very happy to get the role. Please enjoy the mysterious and meaningful exchanges with Hanako-kun.”

Kugimiya Rie: “I’m Kugimiya Rie, who will be playing the role of Mirai. When I first saw the character, I thought, ‘What a lovely appearance!’ But when I looked more closely, there were times when she had a disturbing expression. I tried to act with a wide range of expressions as the character. When I first came to the studio, I was greeted with a very warm atmosphere and was able to perform in a relaxed and enjoyable manner. I hope that everyone will enjoy watching it as much as I do. Thank you!”

About Toilet-Bound Hanako-kun:
The famous Seven Mysteries that every school seems to have are a staple of Japanese urban legends. One of the most well-known of these tales is that of Hanako-san: the ghost of a young girl who haunts the school’s bathrooms. Kamome Academy has its own version of Hanako-san’s legend. Rumors claim that if one successfully manages to summon Hanako-san, she will grant her summoner any wish. Lured by the gossip, many people have tried to call upon her, yet every attempt has failed. However, when Nene Yashiro, a girl hoping for romantic fortune, dares to summon Hanako-san, she discovers that the rumored “girl” is actually a boy! After a series of unfortunate events involving Yashiro’s romantic desires, she is unwillingly entangled in the world of the supernatural, becoming Hanako-kun’s assistant. Soon, she finds out about Hanako-kun’s lesser-known duty: maintaining the fragile balance between mortals and apparitions.
