this is cute and light reading! Miyamura and Hori have their own different side with how the world see them warms my heart. Also, the artwork is a plus đź¤
4/5 Stars (%80/100)
After Sono Bisque, I've come across HoriMiya the anime, and quite enjoyed the show. The pacing definitely had problems, especially in the second half of the show but it was enjoyable nonetheless. For the last couple of months, these slice-of-life anime/mangas have been a treat for me because I get to get away from stress and simply enjoy the lives of the characters. I was curious about the ending because the show felt a bit incomplete so here we are. I probably won't review the following volumes, at least not right now.
HoriMiya is about the lives of Hori Kyouko and Miyamura Izumi. Hori is a popular girl but works hard taking care of her little brother and doing housework while Miyamura is a shy gloomy type who is revealed to be a cool guy with tattoos and piercings. In this sense, I found this series quite similar to Sono Bisque. This volume serves mostly as an introduction to our main characters and their world. I have to admit even in the manga the pacing seems a bit off sometimes. However, thanks to the extra scenes, it is not that noticeable compared to the show. I'll definitely continue reading and so far, I'd recommend it to others.

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 enamorĂ© de Miyamura en un solo capĂtulo. Realmente se me hace un manga perfecto de vida escolar, con sus pequeños momentos cĂłmicos. ❤

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.
