Horimiya (Full title: Hori-san to Miyamura-kun) at first glance, might seem like the typical “Popular girl dates unpopular guy” story, but it isn’t. The simplicity of Horimiya is what makes it stand out from other rom-coms, and is part of the reason why the manga was crazy popular, long before the adaption. On one hand, we have stuff like overwhelming drama like White Album, on the other hand, we have Horimiya, which balances between drama and simplicity so elegantly. Horimiya feels like it’s about to cross that line between a light-hearted rom-com and an over the top romance drama, but it never does, which is a good thing (A reference from the Oscar winning film, Parasite). After reading the manga for so many years, I was also happy to hear the news. It might not be an exaggeration to say that Horimiya is Winter 2021 most anticipated anime right after SnK final season. After years, when everyone gave up on an adaption, there was an announcement. Horimiya is one of the most anticipated adaption ever.
