<p class="MsoNormal"><em><span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">“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!”</span></em></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">Daisuke Hagiwara launched <em>Horimiya</em> in 2011 as a spinoff to the four-panel school comedy manga <em>Hori-san to Miyamura-kun</em> by HERO. Square Enix is publishing the series’ volumes in Japan, with 15 compiled volumes released so far. The original <em>Hori-san to Miyamura-kun </em>series had already received four OVA adaptations from 2012 to 2018. </span></p>
