In this prequel manga, we discover how Hanako and Yashiro met and get to see the circumstances that led to their partnership in the main series.

In order to get a wish granted, Yashiro attempts to summon Hanako-chan, who is one of the school’s Seven Mysteries.

To her surprise, Yashiro does summon Hanako — who turns out to be a young boy rather than a young girl. More, he carries a knife in hand and is willing to kill the boy who broke Yashiro’s heart. Which, Yashiro realizes in that moment isn’t actually the wish she wants.

Luckily, Yashiro is able to intervene and we quickly realize that Hanako is not actually a particularly vengeful spirit.

Rather, Hanako is a spirit who is trying to make amends himself for past sins in his human life. Helping students is his current mission.

This is a sweet little prequel that gives us some delightful backstory on the main characters from the main series. Definitely recommend for any fans~
