I wasn't as enamored of this first volume of Horimiya as I'd hoped after seeing years' worth of effusion about it. And.?" impression I got from this first one. I have the first four volumes of it, so it has some time to distinguish itself beyond the "It's nice. Low-key storytelling works better for me when the setting isn't one of contemporary mundanity, so Horimiya starts off at a mild disadvantage. I appreciate those things about it, but I'm also nowhere close to being riveted. It isn't screechy like manga comedy can be, either. It isn't blatantly coded as either a shonen or shoujo story, and that's refreshing in a medium that's hard over about that most of the time. It isn't a heart-stopping roller coaster ride, but more like a merry-go-round, engineered as a relaxing change of pace. I read this a little over a year ago, and remembered next to nothing about it. It's a typical shoujo manga but there is something, just something thats makes you want to read more about the characters. “As long as you dont try to find it out, you may never see someone’s true self.” What I Didnt Like: The relationship between characters are realistic and no over the top drama so far but something was missing. It's very clear and detailed at the same time. Plus, I definitely like the art and the writing. I also like the fact that the heroine isn't whiny, is very human, and she doesn't go "Omg I love this guy," in the first chapter. He's down to earth and he doesn't go head over heels for the main heroine at first. The MC guy isn't a playboy, he isn't an asshole, he isn't arrogant, he isn't a know it all, neither is he really popular or treats the heroine like trash. Why I Like It: The reason why I like this is because of the characters in a shoujo like setting. A natural, everyday life story about two common guys (readers can actually relate to) whose only extraordinary trait is there's nothing really extraordinary about them except for some little quirks they can only feel safe to share with each other. So basically, it's a simple idea which happens to be portrayed in a lightly, funny and clever way without pretensions. In complete contrast to the gloomy and some-what boring image he maintains at school, Miyamura-kun styles his hair and shows off his piercings on weekends.ĭue to a short series of events, they’ve found out about each others hidden sides and now have someone to share their secrets with. The Premise: Hori-san contrary to her appearance at school, is a makeup-free housewife (looks after her brother) at home.
This manga is shounen with shojo feel and unexpectedly pretty good. “Everyone has a side of themselves they dont want other people to see.”
