What's the Story?
HORIMIYA centers on the love story of two high school students Kyouko Hori (voiced by in English by Marisa Duran) and Izumi Miyamura (Alejandro Saab). Kyouko is a popular, smart, and cheerful person, while Izumi is viewed as a bit of a distant, gloomy geek by his classmates. A chance meeting after school between Kyouko and Izumi leads them to discover that they are the missing pieces in each other's lives; quickly they develop a friendship that blooms into romance.
Is It Any Good?
Fans of romance anime will enjoy this heartfelt story about love from unexpected places. Horimiya nicely captures a lot of the wholesome, funny, and awkward moments of high school romance. Familiar beats of romance anime are well done, but refreshing this series doesn't dwell on the "will they or won't they?" trope. Instead, the main characters quickly become a couple and the series focuses on how others react to their new blossoming relationship.
