SynopsisHori may seem like a normal teenage girl, but she's a completely different person after school. In her workaholic parents' absence, Hori has been like a parent for her little brother since she was young herself. Between taking care of her brother, feeding them both, and housework, she doesn't have much time for a usual teenage social life. One day, she meets someone else who does not present his true self at school: a quiet, glasses-wearing boy called Miyamura. She'd assumed he was bookish, and possibly an otaku, but Hori couldn't have been more wrong. Outside of school, Miyamura is a friendly guy with many piercings, and he's not very good at academics. Now the two of them have someone with whom they can share both halves of their lives!

This is an adorable and funny manga that I just happened upon on a manga site one day and decided to start. Its nothing to rave about since its chapters are pretty short and the story is nothing too out of the ordinary, but somehow its still something special.
Story-9: I like the storyline and the plot, even though its been done before and its simple, it fits well with the style of the author, and it flows. Hori is pretty popular, and Miyamura, well, isn't. But they cross paths when both of their secrets are out in the open, and slowly their lives begin to change. There's romance, comedy, drama, and they all make for a great read.
Art-8: The manga is well drawn, there really isnt much to it to be honest, but for a simple manga, its just right. No complicated looking characters, no weird backgrounds, just simple.
Character-9: I actually really like the characters in Horimiya, I think they make the manga. Theyre a little quirky, a little awkward, and a little funny. They have different backgrounds but they are just normal school kids.
Enjoyment-9: I actually really enjoyed this manga. no matter how simple the story may be, I was still hoping to read more. It was very interesting, and im still currently waiting for updates!
Overall-8: I guess it seems like I didnt say much good about this manga, but im still telling you it was a good read :) if your bored pick it up! Its not so typical shoujo after all, I think its pretty great! read more

I'm a guy who enjoys to have a hot cup of joy, oh and this drink was very satisfactory.
Kyoko Hori is a popular high school girl, who excels in academics. Although she is a completely different person outside of school. She acts like a parent for her little brother, and does all the house chores including cooking, cleaning and grocery shopping. One day, Hori meets someone else who like her, does not present his true self at school. Her quiet, glasses-wearing classmate, Izumi Miyamura. his appearance at school is someone bookish and makes people assume that he an otaku. Hori realized she could not have been more wrong. Outside of school, Miyamura is a friendly guy with many piercings, and is actually not very good at academics. Miyamura’s encounter with Hori’s little brother and Hori’s discovery of Miyamura’s secret begins her new chapter in life.
Well, Horimiya is our usual comedy-romance-school life types of genre. It takes place in school and it’s about youth romance between our protagonist. Speaking of protagonist, the girl’s name is Kyouko Hori and the guy’s name is Izumi Miyamura.
What makes Horimiya different is that it's charms do not lie on the secret being exposed but on the calm and subtlety- which also reflects in the illustrator's art syle- it is dealt with and the relationship that blossoms from it. Far from cartoonish, it reflects what would happen if it was set in real life perfectly.
Hori is a popular girl in school. Beauty and smart, she has everything that every guys in school ever wanted. She might be a perfect dream girl in the school but she is low profile. Hori has a secret, she always appears like a plain housewife in her home. That’s because her parents are too busy at work so they’re rarely at home so Hori has to take care of her little brother, Sota and also taking care of cooking and also cleaning at home. That’s why she always rejecting her friend’s invitation to go out and have fun.While Miyamura is a plain looking guy with glasses who appearance is very much like an otaku.
Miyamura on the other hand is the perfect portrait of adorable-I-want-you. Some may fondly dub him as "loser" because of his docile personality. It is apparent how deeply he admires Hori with how reliable and noble she is. Perhaps this is a factor to why he goes out of his way to protect her and make her happy. A perfect gentleman. With an offhand way of making every reader into a gooey mess.Other characters like Toru, Yuki and the members of the student council keep the story dynamic and fresh. All of them spicing up the everyday life of Hori and Miyamura.
Truly, this manga is a character-driven story. The pacing is slow and sweet, guaranteeing a thorough look at the characters and building up the relationships of the cast, especially that of the two leads. Just when you think your heart can take on whatever happens next, the new chapter will taunt you, tease you and ultimately make your heart swell with the joy of budding love.
Out of all the romantic type of mangas that I’ve already read, I could say that Horimiya is one of the best. I highly recommend this manga especially to those who are just want some tingly feelings in themselves.

In both shoujos, the girl and the guy both have very different appearances and personalities in school or public places than they do at home or in private and they get to know each other in both settings by accident. So they share a secret side of themselves with each other that others don't know about.
They both include characters who act different at home than they are at school

Horimiya and Namida Usagi both start out with a girl and her classmates judging a boy because of his appearance and social awkwardness. As the female protagonist gets to know the male protagonist her opinion of him begins to change and they become close friends. Then there are hints of romance...
The art and the story in Namida Usagi are not as polished as that of Hormiya, but the characters are interesting, and there is enough to make you want to read the next chapter. The drawings and character development in Hormiya is very attractive, though the story is shorter (so far).
Still, the ideas behind the stories are very similar, so if you found one interesting, you might like to check out the other.
