A brief recap of After-School Hanako-kun Part 2 episode 2

After-School Hanako-kun Part 2 episode 2 started with Hanako being turned into a girl by a strange device, which would last for a day since she defeated it. Yashiro, excited by the situation, suggested they do "girly" things, starting with giving Hanako a bobbed haircut and a red skirt, resembling the original Hanako-san legend.

Just as Hanako decided to show someone, Kou arrived, initially mistaking her for Hanako's older sister. After explaining the situation, Hanako flirted with him, asking if she looked cute.

Kou bluntly responded that she wasn’t his type, leaving Hanako devastated as Yashiro comforted her.

Meanwhile, Tsukasa accidentally turned Sakura into a boy with the same device. Sakura remained unfazed, borrowing Natsuhiko's male uniform.

Natsuhiko, shocked by how handsome Sakura had become, begged Tsukasa to reverse the change, but failed.

When Sakura casually mentioned not caring about Natsuhiko's gender, the latter took it as a sign of love and donned a dress, declaring himself Sakura’s "important lady," only to be slapped with a book.

Later, Mitsuba entered the room and was hit by the device’s beam. To everyone’s surprise, he didn't change at all. Natsuhiko suggested using the device again to reverse the transformations, but it broke, leaving everyone stuck in their altered forms.

What to expect from After-School Hanako-kun Part 2 episode 3?
