Horimiya Synopsis
Now, let me give you a quick rundown of the story for those who are new to Horimiya. Meet Kyouko Hori, a high school student admired for her kindness and academic prowess. But here’s the catch: she’s been hiding a different side of herself. With her parents often away due to work, Hori has to take care of her younger brother and handle household chores, leaving her with little time to socialize outside of school.
On the other hand, we have Izumi Miyamura, who is seen as a mysterious otaku wearing glasses. But in reality, he’s a kind-hearted and not-so-great student. He even sports nine hidden piercings beneath his long hair and a tattoo along his back and left shoulder. By a stroke of luck, Hori and Miyamura meet outside of school, and they don’t look like what the other would expect.
These seemingly opposite poles become friends, sharing a side of themselves that they’ve never shown to anyone before.
Conclusion
So, July 1st is important, because Horimiya: The Missing Pieces is coming your way. Get ready to unravel the mysteries and explore the unadapted tales of this heartwarming series.
