Hori-San to Miyamura-Kun, the Webcomic popular series has already been adapted into a manga series. The high school story is now all set to get an anime adaptation, which will premiere in January 2021. Although the show will have to struggle to make its mark, and there is a possibility that it might go underappreciated, so today we have an overview of the manga to understand why the upcoming anime is worth looking into.
The show’s plot is focused on the pack of friends who stand with each other through everything. The two most prominent characters are Kyoyo Hori and Izumi Miyamura, who might appear to be completely different from one another. However, their appearance can be deceptive. Izumi is a long-haired boy who prefers to be quiet and does not like attention. On the other hand, while Hori is popular, outgoing, and has no trouble making new friends. They come across one another by accident and marks the beginning of a loving and unexpected friendship.
However, they are not alone. Toru Ishikawa notices how Hori and Izumi are so close and decides to join in. Then there is Hori’s longtime friend Yuki Yoshikawa who previously didn’t think much of Izumi but became a trustable friend with time. However, she prefers Hori and Toru over her. Kakeru Sengoku, who is the student council president, also joins the growing group of friends. Although he appears to be uptight, it turns out that he is warm-hearted and has a laid-back attitude.
The Horimiya trailer has already given many clues about the show’s central theme, which is that most people aren’t always what they pretend to be. Although it sounds negative, the message is a positive one, and it encourages people to lay their biases aside and not judge people before getting to know them. It is possible that the awkward kid that prefers to stay quiet might turn out to be the kindest person you know; the popular jock who seems to have all sorted out might have self-image issues that you don’t even know of. Therefore, our assumptions are usually faulty, and everyone usually has more to them than what meets the eye.
Taking enough time to listen to the other person can be quite rewarding. When the characters embrace the worst in each other, they are ready to grow together without the fear of rejection or shame. Horimiya certainly touches upon an issue that hits home in the modern world where relationships are falling apart.
