Toilet-Bound Hanako-kun season 2 episode 4: A brief recap

Toilet-Bound Hanako-kun season 2 episode 4, titled Summer Lights, adapts chapters 36 to 39 of the manga. Taking a lighter and heartwarming approach, the episode follows Nene, Hanako, and Kou as they attend a summer festival hosted by spirits. As the trio enjoys the festivities, they come across the tradition of collecting tanzaku in five different colors, which are said to grant any wish.

However, despite their efforts, they fail to find the last colored tanzaku. Amid their search, a sweet moment unfolds between Nene and Hanako.

During their distraction, Nene is suddenly hit by a parade cow, transporting her back in time to a human-held summer festival, where she encounters a young Hanako—still alive as Yugi Amane.

Having been left alone at the festival by his younger brother, Amane spends time with Nene, keeping her company as she tries to figure out how to return to the present. Their time together is filled with humorous exchanges, especially when Nene realizes that Amane has the final tanzaku she needs to make a wish to return to her timeline.

While Amane initially refuses to give, he ultimately appreciates Nene's presence, grateful not to have been alone. He also teases her saying she’s his type before offering her his tanzaku.

However, reflecting on the tragic future awaiting him, Nene gives Amane all her tanzaku instead, encouraging him to use them to fulfill his dream of becoming an astronaut.

Noticing another parade cow, Nene decides to use the same method that initially sent her there to return to the present. Before leaving, she bids Amane farewell with a kiss on his forehead, hoping to cheer him up.

After returning to the present, Nene is certain that her experience must have been a dream, but she feels content with the time she spent there.

The episode ends on a heartfelt note with a surprising twist—Amane’s wish, written on his tanzaku, is not to become an astronaut but to meet Nene again.
