Hori-san to Miyamura-kun also known as Horimiya is a Japanese shōnen web manga series written and illustrated by HERO. It was released on February 2007 on HERO’s website Dokkai Ahen in a four-panel format. Square Enix compiled the chapters in 10 volumes.

Daisuke Hagiawara adapted the manga with a newly redrawn art as Horimiya. It has been serialized since 2011 in Monthly G Fantasy and is published in English by Yen Press. The original Hori-san to Miyamura-kun manga was adapted into an original video animation series between 2012 and 2018.

The plot the anime according MAL is;

Although admired at school for her amiability and academic prowess, high school student Kyouko Hori has been hiding another side of her. With her parents often away from home due to work, Hori has to look after her younger brother and do the housework, leaving no chance to socialize away from school.

Meanwhile, Izumi Miyamura is seen as a brooding, glasses-wearing otaku. However, in reality, he is a gentle person inept at studying. Furthermore, he has nine piercings hidden behind his long hair and a tattoo along his back and left shoulder.


By sheer chance, Hori and Miyamura cross paths outside of school—neither looking as the other expects. These seemingly polar opposites become friends, sharing with each other a side they have never shown to anyone else
