Synopsis
Everyone at school sees Kyouko Hori as the girl who has it all: popularity, looks, and great grades, making her the kind of girl everyone notices. Izumi Miyamura is the opposite: quiet, glasses, keeps to himself, basically invisible. What nobody knows is that Hori spends her evenings cooking dinner and looking after her little brother like a part-time parent, and Miyamura is hiding piercings, tattoos, and a whole different vibe under that buttoned-up school look. When they accidentally run into each other outside of school and see the real versions of each other, something clicks. No dramatic love confession, no contrived misunderstanding: just two people realizing they don't have to keep pretending around someone else. What makes this 13-episode TV series work is how natural everything feels. The romance builds the way it actually does when you're a teenager: awkward, gradual, with a lot of just hanging out. CloverWorks nails the pacing, and the supporting cast gets enough screen time that the whole friend group feels lived-in rather than decorative. There's genuine humor here, but it never undercuts the quieter emotional beats. If you liked Toradora for the sharp character dynamics or Kimi ni Todoke for the slow-burn warmth, Horimiya covers similar ground but moves at its own confident pace. Fans of Love, Chunibyo & Other Delusions will also appreciate the theme of hidden selves. It's a romance that respects its characters enough to let them just be people.

Amo este episodio 😍
훌륭한
Desde el principio me pareció un anime muy bueno tanto en trama como en desarrollo de la historia y calidad visual todo 10/10
I really enjoyed this episode. Hori's jealousy over Miyamura's friendships with Tanihara and Shindou was both funny and cute, and it showed how much she cares about him. I also liked the drama between Yuki and Tooru, which added some emotional depth to the episode. Rating: 9/10
Watching Hori and Miyamura awkwardly navigate their new relationship was so wholesome. Hori getting jealous over a complete misunderstanding had me laughing, and Miyamura instantly agreeing to cut his hair after meeting her dad was unexpectedly sweet. Their chemistry just keeps getting better, love it.
I loved how this episode quietly deepened Hori and Miyamura's relationship. Shindo brought out a different side of Miyamura, but the best moment was him promising he wasn't going anywhere while taking care of Hori. The ending honestly melted my heart when he said he loves her, and left and then hori realizing what he said.
This episode made me so happy for Miyamura. Watching him slowly believe that people genuinely want to be his friend was really touching. Hori being so possessive without admitting her feelings was hilarious, and their awkward hand-holding scene was adorable.
This episode had me laughing so much, especially Hori trying everything just to figure out Miyamura's first name. The student council drama also showed how much Miyamura cares about her, and their bond keeps getting sweeter with every scene.
I wasn't expecting Horimiya to hook me this fast. Seeing Hori and Miyamura's completely different lives outside school was so refreshing, and their chemistry already feels natural. The ending with Hori crying and then getting mad had me laughing like crazy.
We introverts need a Hori in our lives. Good for Miyamura 😭
This is a must-watch romance anime. The storytelling style is captivating. Not only do the main characters get their fair share of story, but many supporting characters also get their own stories. The pacing is perfect, and the artwork is very distinctive. It's just that by episode 11 my attention was diverted because the storytelling was boring. But the rest was great and my eyes were always glued to the screen.
Hori feels strange after listening Miya's confession. In this episode you'll find a misunderstanding, insecurity and a broken heart, but don't worry, because there are beginnings too.
The character development in this episode is complex, especially their interactions. And finally, we get to see Toru's romantic side.
Iura represent an extrovert character, but also caring his sister. The sibling relationship in the plot is relatable.
It's so complicated, Yuki's storyline is hard to explain. I know her position, when you wanna stay close with your friend while still feeling guilty.
Haha that's funny, Miya's reaction is priceless. It's so different compared to Hori.
I love the Toru’s character, especially how caring Toru is toward his friend who received a confession. Their dynamic duo is really funny.
Wow, the atmosphere between Hori and Miya is so heartfelt, it makes my stomach fell full of butterflies and giggles at midnight. Their relationship development is very sweet.
A comedic scene where Shindo misunderstands things and experiences awkward moments, especially as miscommunication leads to funny situations. They're interactions are chaotic but still cute.
The development between characters is really cute and brings back the feeling of first love in high school. It balances the storytelling, making Hori-Miya's interactions feel more natural and heartfelt as their relationship slowly grows.
