Horimiya

Popular manga adaption Horimiya has grown to be one of the most eagerly awaited Winter 2021 anime releases. The news of the adaption has been greeted with delight following years of waiting. Horimiya skillfully strikes a balance between a lighthearted rom-com and extravagant romance drama. Its simplicity distinguishes it from other romantic comedies and has added to its appeal even prior to the adaptation. Fans of the manga should not miss this one because of its unique style, which is reminiscent of the Oscar-winning movie Parasite.

The protagonist of Horimiya is Kyoko Hori, a popular student who is frequently looked up to by her friends. She is burdened by this as she has to act like a perfect girl in public. Hori is hiding a part of herself from the public. A bunch of females call Hori out for being too simple to be Hori when they meet her outside a supermarket. This illustrates the weight Hori feels being popular and acting perfect when she isn't. She keeps her simple and flawed side hidden from everyone she loves, including Yuki and her family.

Miyamura is a moody student who doesn't talk much and is easy to miss. In his flashbacks, he is seen as a victim of bullying and rejection from his peers. He responds to the bullying by piercing his ears with a safety pin as a coping mechanism. In addition, Miyamura has tattoos all over his body, which he covers up with jackets and shoulder-length hair. Because of his distinctive features, Miyamura sticks out from the other students, giving the impression that he is ordinary.
