Really cute so far! The beginning was a little rushed but I am super invested in these characters and their relationships. Can't wait for more.

Esto esta genial.
Me enamoré de Miyamura en un solo capítulo. Realmente se me hace un manga perfecto de vida escolar, con sus pequeños momentos cómicos. ❤

I do think that this manga has a lot of potential but Miyamura literally has more chemistry with Tooru than Horisan. Miyamura is an odd character. I feel like he isn’t really written well. His emotions are not felt by the reader (with the only exception being that he’s very extremely concerned about his tattoos being revealed). He is shown as this laidback charismatic guy with piercings and tattoos but he doesn’t really have a personality. We can’t even properly see what he feels about Horimiya until the end of the book. Maybe the story is supposed to be slow-paced but he could use a bit more traits other than *having tattoos*. I’m going to continue reading this series just for the sake of the ending but if it wasn’t for that it would look like a manga that’s about building friendships.
I really enjoyed this! It's cute and fun, and everything that I could ask for in a light romantic drama or K-drama. In brief, nice guy gets the girl + the girl isn't lame or a manic pixie girl = winning series.
I was a little leery of this, after learning that Hori, the main female character's big secret is ::gasp:: she enjoys household tasks and being a mother figure to her brother. I've seen this several times in manga, and I haven't particularly enjoyed it. In Horimiya, it's less about wanting to be a perfect wife/bride, and more about wanting to relax and be herself, someone who enjoys simple tasks and caring for others.
Furthermore, it's really about how Hori-san and Miyamura-Kun present one face at school, but are different in their free time, arguably more themselves, which is a universal theme despite the fact that some things may be lost in translation between a Japanese and an American audience, who may find it difficult to contemplate why a girl wouldn't want anyone to know she's good at "women's work" (though this may be more understandable in this age that women feel like they're not taking advantage of the rights garnered by the feminist movement if they choose to be stay-at-home-moms), and a guy would want to hide that he's a cool cake-giving punk guy. However, I think that it's a universal theme that sometimes, especially in high school, kids just want to fit in, and feel like they have multiple selves.
I enjoy that this romantic drama is a slice-of-life series in which the main characters spend quality time (in what many would consider boring circumstances) to get to know each other, unlike the flash-bang melodrama the frequently occurs in American romantic comedies.
The nice guy gets the girl; the girl isn't lame or a manic pixie girl. This series is a winner.

We may have stumbled onto each other's sides by chance, but, the two of us have ended up sharing time reserved for our eyes only with each other.

↬ thoughts
I like this more than I like the anime for the simple reason that it adds way more, so much more. The manga moves slower than the anime, but it adds more. Here we see more how Hori and Miyamura’s relationship progresses and it flows better than in the anime. I think my favorite part is how we actually get to see the friendship between the characters early on and more of a friendship between Miramura and Hori.
Miyamura is very attached to his whole persona and I can’t wait to see how they explore that in the manga. One of the reasons why I wanted to read the manga is because I wanted to get to know more the main characters and the side characters, so I can’t wait to see that.
It is a bit hard going into this with zero expectations after watching the anime, like, I can’t question why does Miyamura act the way he does or why is Hori basically the head of the house, but I do think I will like how they explore it in the manga more given that so far I like how they have touched on it.
Overall, I love it. It was the first manga I read in a physical copy (thank you public library for this!), and it was fun and cute and just ugh so amazing. Given how busy I am lately or how my mind cannot do a lot of things, this was actually nice to get through and I feel great about it.
