Horimiya: The Missing Piece: A High School Love Story
Currently, Yen Press publishes the manga in English. The story is described by them as;
At first glance, the ultra-popular Hori-san seems like a frivolous high school girl, but in reality, she’s plain, pragmatic, and family-oriented. On the other hand, the bespectacled Miyamura-kun comes across as an average, gloomy high school fanboy, but he’s actually an attractive young man who has a bad-boy streak and is covered in piercings and tattoos. When these two unexpectedly similar classmates have a random run-in outside of the classroom, a bubbly, sweet tale of school life begins!
Daisuke Hagiwara first launched the Horimiya manga in Square Enix’s Monthly G Fantasy in 2011 and ended in 2021. It was an adaptation of HERO’s Hori-san to Miyamura-kun four-panel comedy manga, with HERO supervising. Hagiwara published an epilogue manga chapter for the manga in July 2021. There is also a live-action series of the story that premiered in February 2021.
Horimiya is currently available to stream on Crunchyroll.
