The March 2021 issue of GFantasy magazine revealed on Thursday that HERO and Daisuke Hagiwara's Horimiya manga will end its nine and a half years serialization in the next issue. The April issue will publish the final chapter on March 18.

Synopsis
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. [Written by MAL Rewrite]

Hagiwara launched Horimiya, retelling HERO's Hori-san to Miyamura-kun manga, in October 2011 in GFantasy magazine. Square Enix published the 15th compiled volume on September 18. Yen Press licensed the manga in English in March 2015 and released the 14th volume on June 23.

A 13-episode television anime series produced by CloverWorks began airing on January 10. Funimation is streaming the show with English subtitles and dub.

The original 4-koma romantic comedy manga by HERO ran on her official website Dokkai Ahen from February 2007 to March 2008. Square Enix published the manga in 10 volumes under its Gangan Comics imprint between October 2008 and December 2011. After the end of the main story, HERO continued to release side stories on her website. Square Enix shipped the 14th volume on September 18.

An original video animation released four episodes as of December 2018, with a fifth and sixth episode scheduled for a May release.

It kinda looked like that given the recent chapters. You will be missed. At least it got an adaption before it ended.

The show is a surprise for me this season, I loved the last episode so much I went online to try to buy the physical manga but alot of my usual shopping hubs are completely sold out so I'm kinda stuck as to how to buy the entire series.

Enjoying the show, I hope to read the manga someday.

You gotta be kidding me, dude.

First AOT, Then Horimiya.

2021's first half will end a lot of popular series in manga formats.

But, Does it mean that the anime will actually end with a conclusion and then give us Finale Movies.

Exactly my impression. Chapter 123 was a clear indication of this and I should be happy considering the series has lost its touch for a while but my kokoro still took a little beating just now.

well all good things must come to an end unfortunately. Kinda a shame Horimiya ended up being just a complete retelling of the WN and didn't continue to be its own thing, but oh well, here's to one of the best romcoms (and especially shounen romcom) out there

Unless of course it sells well enough on BDs and performs greatly on streaming platforms.

considering how they're skipping around a looot of chapters just to show off the "big points", I think this season is just a "look what Horimiya has to offer" type of season rip

Honestly, I'm glad.

It might be one of my favourite manga but it's been going for a really long time and needed to reach a conclusion at some point. The manga is just an adaption of a completed webcomic, so I'm not really sure why it took so long to adapt it completely? I think maybe a lot of chapters were manga exclusive and that's why. I've actually been slacking on reading manga recently so I'm looking forward to having a concluded story to come back to.

Also, I collect the physical volumes (in English) so it'll be nice to complete another series!

That's a shame. I started to read the manga a few weeks ago. I love the chapters that focus on the main couple. The side characters are great as well.

I looked online and book depository is all sold out except for Vol.15; however Amazon is still selling every Vol.1-15 in paperback for about US$11.50 or if you prefer a massive 75% discount, you can buy the digital version through Kindle or Cosmixology for only US$2.99 per volume! Sweet.

I’m definitely going to buy the series :)

Yeah I know Amazon have them all, I live in Australia so I'm going to boot a massive shipping bill so it's not my first option. I think it's worth it for me to have the paperback of Horimiya, about 70% of my manga collection is on Kindle but the series I really enjoy and love I prefer paperback

As much as I love Horimiya, it is better for the manga and the readers themselves for it to end soon. If it continues it would become an absolute drag.

It was an amazing journey with you Horimiya. I cam gonna miss it but I can reread it anytime even though it wont be the same as the first time, it will be a great experience.

Why did it not adapt the complete web-comic? The children of Sengoku and Miyamura are said to meet at some point in the webcomic and stuff... I don't think thats there in the manga. Will it be adapted?
