What is Toilet-bound Hanako-kun about?

The Toilet-bound Hanako-kun series is based on one of the most popular urban legends in Japanese schools, i.e., the tale of Hanako-san, the ghost of a young girl that haunts the school's bathrooms. However, Kamome Academy had its own take on the urban legend, as per which, the ghost would grant her summoner any wish.

Thus, to test the story for herself, a girl hoping for a romantic fortune named Nene Yashiro summons Hanako's ghost. However, upon being successful, Nene realizes that the ghost wasn't a girl, but a boy.

Soon after, Nene gets entangled in Hanako-kun's supernatural world and ends up becoming his assistant. During this, she finds out that Hanako-kun was actually tasked with an important job, which was to maintain the fragile balance between mortals and apparitions.
