• This was such a comfort read. Whenever I felt low, I used to read the Horimiya series, wrap myself all warm and cozy under my blanket, and giggle to myself.😭

• I kept putting off finishing such a masterpiece because I couldn't bring myself to do it. Reading the previous volume caused a lump in my throat. There’s no doubt I’ll be rereading this series throughout the years.

 

• Why is it unique compared to other manga? The ability to connect with both the main characters and the supporting cast is my favorite aspect of this book that sets it apart from the other mangas. Truly, the most realistic high school manga.

• The characters are so stupid, goofy, and dumb. Reading this series made me feel as though I belonged there and shared a large friendship group with the characters 

 

The art style is pretty and comfortable to read.

• Cherry on top: The character development of the characters and their relationships with each other is the best thing ever. I like how, towards the end of the series, they focused more on the plot and silly moments rather than revolving only around development. Icing on the cake moment, frfr
