Horimiya, Vol. 1
by HERO, Daisuke Hagiwara
4.5 stars
This is an amazing start to the manga series introducing our two main characters, each with a hidden side. Hori (Kyoko) is an honours student who secretly takes care of her brother and home while her parents are at work, paying little attention to her looks outside of school. Miyamura (Izumi) is a quiet student at school, but out of school wears many piercings, has tattoos and looks really cool. When Hori's younger brother falls over in front of Miyamura and he walks him home, they become introduced to each other in their 'hidden identities' and spark a romance.
What I love about this first volume is that it goes straight in - we know the characters like one another and are growing closer. Having watched the anime I thought this was going to be a copy paste of the show but I actually found reading the manga just as, if not more enjoyable than watching the show. The art style is adorable though I will say very few occassions I would struggle to see who it was who was talking in the text bubbles, though you could infer from context.
PS. If you watched the manga, even in the first volume there are *tonnes* of non-animated scenes.
I really really look forward to reading this entire series, let's hope the rest of the volumes are as good as this one!
