Review of 'Toilet-bound Hanako-kun, Vol. 1' on 'Storygraph'
3 stars
Pretty similar to Noragami (which I've only seen the anime of), in both the lore and character types. Well, except the protagonist didn't turn into a half-ghost, but she is now able to see supernatural creatures easier and all that. The setting is different though and also the ages of the characters, I think (they're younger here).
I don't really like the romance parts, but I do really love the supernatural things/lore. And the art. Not gonna lie, the artstyle of the anime and the manga covers (colored pages) were the main reason why I wanted to check this series out.
Even though it's a very popular series, I've never really heard much about the plot, so I didn't really know what I was getting into here. But it's okay. A bit boring at times, but as said, the supernatural beings are my cup of tea.
I would rate this …

I would rate this higher, but I really hate how sexist it is and how much it sexualizes girls. Not surprised about that, of course, but it's very annoying to read through that sometimes. Especially when the character itself sexualizes themselves.
Series like these have so much fan-service, without needing it to be. Plot- and lore-wise, it wouldn't change a thing, except make it more enjoyable, when you remove the fan-service and the sexism.
It's also hard to ship anyone when everyone's just being a perv.
The Mokkes might be fr the only reason why I'll continue reading. Too cute.
