Toilet-Bound Hanako-kun season 2 episode 11: A brief recap

Toilet-Bound Hanako-kun season 2 episode 11, titled Make It About You, dives into Shijima Mei’s backstory. The episode explores how Mei created the apparition Shijima of the Art Room, how the false rumors about Mei’s death spread, and how they ultimately turned Shijima into one of the School Wonders.

Believing she was meant to protect Mei, Shijima’s growing resentment stemmed from her inability to save her or preserve her truth. When Tsukasa approached her for a painting, she created a copy of herself to fulfill his request, yet her despair only deepened.

Clinging to one final wish, she resolved to kill Mei before she could begin painting the tower, hoping to prevent her own creation and the false rumors that followed.

As Shijima launches another attack, Mei recognizes her attacker’s true identity but evades her strikes, escaping with Nene as the world around them begins to crumble.

At the exit, Mei says that she has been dreaming and that it’s time to wake up. Realizing they will be separated upon leaving since they come from different places, she wonders if Nene is from the future.

Before they part ways, Shijima appears, pleading for Mei to stay. However, Mei reassures her, calling her a self-portrait that carries her hopes and dreams. Thanking Shijima for being there, she explains that because of her, she can wake up and live a little longer.

They reconcile, Mei departs, and they return to the painting world, where Nene reunites with Kou and Mitsuba, guided by the flying paintbrush. Shijima then reveals that the paintbrush is actually a failed copy of herself.

When Nene mentions the doorway to the real world, Shijima initially hesitates but ultimately agrees to help them.

Episode 11 ends on a hopeful note as they set out toward the exit.
