Shijima-san is willing to help Nene and her friends escape from the painting, but they don?t have much time to reach the distant exit before they?re trapped inside for good. To make matters worse, Hanako-kun is pulling out all the stops to keep them from leaving. And when Nene puts everything she has into trying to convince him to let them go, she?s shocked by the genuine emotion that wells up from him in response...

Now that the gang has escaped from No. 6's boundary, Kou has found renewed resolve to become an exorcist like his big brother. But he doesn't expect to come face-to-face with the supernatural who disappeared not so long ago- Mitsuba! The two head off on an impromptu adventure to enjoy the city nightlife, heedless of the danger awaiting them in the dark...and in the midst of it all, Mitsuba comes out with a shocking request!

"Nene and Kou want to learn more about their mysterious friend, Hanako-kun--and what better way to do that than school mystery number five, The 4:00 P.M. Bookstacks! The rumors say that a secret door in the library leads the way to a supernaturally special collection. The Bookstacks know everything about everyone who's ever attended Kamome Academy-past, present, AND future! But whatever you do, don't read the red books...or your future will be drenched...

In exchange for a life, the link between this world and the next has been severed. Even so, Nene and Kou continue looking for a way to reach the boundaries, a search that leads them to the cursed Red House. Inside, they find a boy who looks just like Hanako-kun and may have the answers they've been looking for-but they soon find the Red House is much easier to enter than to leave...

Nene has suddenly been dragged inside a mirror, where she meets the spirit of a young boy calling himself Mitsuba. As they try to escape, the threat of School Mystery No. 3, the Hell of Mirrors, draws ever closer. Nene may have finally gotten herself into a mess that even Hanako-kun can't save her from-but will someone else come to her rescue...?

Nene steps into the spotlight! The mermaid kingdom hasn't forgotten her, and they're back to claim what's theirs! Can Hanako protect her from becoming permanently fishy? Meanwhile, Kou makes friends with an odd ghost haunting the entrance to the middle school division. Kou has no idea who this guy was when he was alive, but that doesn't mean he can't help him solve his unfinished business! Will the junior exorcist be able to help this friendly ghost...

"Thanks to the manipulations of those in the broadcast room, Nene and Sumire find themselves trapped once more in No. 6's boundary. While Hanako-kun isn't there to help them escape this time, they aren't alone-No. 6 himself is there as well! Sumire is thrilled to be reunited with her beloved after so many years, and with No. 6 having come to terms with his feelings at long last, perhaps they have a chance to change how they left things..."--

"Nene has managed to escape the final resting place of all the kannagi sacrificed in this town, reuniting with Kou and the boy they now know to be a younger version of Tsukasa. As the beginning of the Yugi family tragedy is finally unveiled, Kou sees a chance to put everything to rights--if they can all escape the Red House. But this cursed mansion has already made the consequences of trying to free Tsukasa from its clutches very clear..."--Publisher....

At long last, Hanako-kun reveals his plan to save Nene from her inevitable, swiftly approaching death. But even knowing his intentions, Nene is determined to return to reality--and to do that, she'll need the help of School Mystery No. 4, Mei Shijima. Can Nene help this spirit overcome her regret and self-loathing and find her way home?!
