There are rumors that one of Kamome Academy's Seven Mysteries, Hanako-kun, has gained an assistant: first-year high school student Nene Yashiro. Together, Hanako and Yashiro investigate the school's many mysteries, keeping the balance between humans and the supernatural.

Reviews
What can I say other than... it was just okay? It's fine if you've got nothing better to do and want to see a few little extra omake-like bits for the original hanako, but honestly most of the humor was lost on me. Very quick and short little bits that mainly revolve around the little mokke, sometimes a little of something else. All it really did was make me miss the first season and wish for more story again. Either way. Art is on point. Seeing the characters you miss is great. But you're not missing anything important or all that fun anyways. At least thehalloween bit made it just a little worthwhile!
Hanako and everyone returned for four episodes of short stories culminating in a Halloween-themed episode and it was nice to see everyone again. Each episode had a good mix of silliness and horror. The animation was also the right mix of cute with a touch of creepy. It made me miss the main anime especially since prior knowledge of characters and world is necessarily to really enjoy these shorts. If you're looking for something that mixes drama and comedy together like in the regular storyline, you'll be disappointed. Everything's a bit lighter and sillier in this anime. If you've never watched or Read Hanako-kun before,you'll want to start there before watching this. That said, if you like the source material and you're looking for something short and entertaining to pass some time this is an anime you might enjoy.
