Finally.... it ended... the beautiful journey of HoriMiya.. Right about almost the same time as the Manga ended....
Few days before graduation, Everybody tidied up and bring back home their belongings in the class.. almost everybody still had a lot of leftover belongins except Hori that already moved her belonging earlier. Looking at her "free space" of hands and thinking of how strong she is everybody asking her to bring some of their belongings XD..... that kinda pissed her off haha... looking by her sour face. It turns out Iura also almost has no belongings left...until everybody realizes they got his belongins like his lended CD,DVD, and books and now his hands also full XD. His carefreeness just put Hori even pissed off after also asking Hori to hold some of his belongins because he think she is powerful woman hahaha.......
Meanwhile in the student council room... Remi cheerly asking for a trip to a zoo together by after Kakeru and Akane kinda supporting the idea since Akane also getting driver license soon... but that idea straightly rejected by Sakura since that idea kinda hard to execute as a high schooler (She behave like a mother in here XD). Unsatisfied Remi then trying to get out when Sakura realizes that Remi hasn't finished everything she want to say and stopped her following with an adorable forcing pinch attack into her cheeks XD... Well she actually feared that everyone will forget each other in the future after graduation, so that the reason she wants to go to a trip together. And in the end they all agreed to go to the beach sometimes in the future after Akane got his License.
In Hori's household, Izumi and Kyouko enjoying their moments together in Kotatsu while Kyouko taking a nap and snuggling on Izumi's lap. In that silent noon Somehow Izumi's wondering and imagining an "IF" case of Him didn't meet Kyouko(from Souta cases) and how his life gonna be that's happen. there's a lot of quite dull things like how almost all of them didn't recognize each other.. (OFC everybody also didn't Miyamura), Sengoku and Remi didn't date, everybody had their own circle of friends(Tooru & Shu, Hori & Yuki, Remi & Sakura), and several different appearances like Yuki with long hair and Remi with short hair. in the end of reminiscing his "IF" cases of life Izumi come to accepting his gloomy dull past self and embracing it together with his current present self now with Kyouko and everyone beside him and supporting him while both of them enjoying their sweet moments in Kotatsu together :3.
Moving on to graduation day.....
Miyamura sneezes when Sengoku was started to read his speech embarassing entire hall and Sengoku himself XD ( just like Hori's dad and Sengoku's dad
in the past, only in manga tho they didn't adapted that :|). Once again Miyamura remiscing how he becoming now while embracing his inner gloomy shadow and accepting that it was part of him too. There were some graduation moments like photos and so on. Sakura giving her regards to Tooru and Yuki(Especially Tooru, for letting her to loved him OFC) and saying she like them both as Yuki overheard them and thinking of how Sakura leaving her "feelings" in this school forever. She met Akane afterwards and talking about the trip that Akane mentioning earlier with student council gang. Hori's dad coming to the graduation and asking to photo together with Miyamura while everybody enticed by how young is he and he pretending to be Miyamura's dad XD.. until Hori spot him and unleash her rages at him hahaha..it was hilarious XD. Iura being easygoing as ever in front of his friends until suddenly his lil sis, Motoko fetch him up and surprised with that easygoing act of him XD, even questioning is he really her brother or not XD....
and... its ended with both of HoriMiya going home together and holding hand together enjoying their graduation while some monologue from Izumi how grateful he is meeting and being together with Kyouko rn, and how he could see how both strong and weak she is and because of that now he can enjoy what bright day together. He also really grateful that She also breaking his "dark reality" of thinking that he always alone and even wanting to had a future together with him. and... with sweet spring wind blowing this beautiful story end....
Glad they showed some panels from Manga chapters that they skipped like their first school trip together, Jealous Miyamura, School festival, Miyamura figh with Hori and a lot more :3( still wishing they got adapted thoooo :((( ).
Beautiful OP and ED, and the sequence kinda change too as the story progress especially after Miyamura and Hori's dating, there are bit of OP sequence frame that changing from dark into cheery/light.
Yeapp they jumped over to 3 final chapters(121,122, and 123) and fully adapted them(although kinda missing few panels like sengoku's dad in the graduation day and so on..)
Man.. it's really over both the source and adaptation... they really clamped and adapted whole 120-ish manga chapter into 13 episode anime. Well..... they kept some Vital chapter and adapted it beautifully... Still.. i wish it was longer maybe 24/26 at least since there is a lot more great and awesome chapter that could be adapted. Yeah but still i'm really satisfied and really happy with this... 9 years or almost 10 years since this was first published and even more longer if we talking about the web version(Hori-san to Miyamura-Kun) that came in on 2007 IIRC and...i've been reading their wonderful story since then...(that version also got adapted in an OVA too tho for 4 episodes and'll be getting 2 more in near future). I hope they made another OVA about their future plus (SoutaYuna + KyosukeYuriko from Omake). and even better another Omake + OVA about HoriMiya in their adult days :D.
Well, I'm really grateful and thanks a lot for HERO-Sensei for starting with WM of Hori-san to Miyamura-kun and continuing with HoriMiya version together with Hagiwara-Sensei. this just become first and one of my Top+Favorites Romcom since my younger days :D. Thanks to cloverworks too for adapting it beautifully and gracely despite skipping chapters and so on, I still really enjoying and loving it :).. i meant after all these years tho 9-10 years... can't wait for any OVA or omakes and OFC 2 OVA's from WM version too later.. ah and LA too..., i haven't watched it yet.
I might kinda really being overly subjective, but since i really loved the series as a whole (WM, Manga, adaptation, LA) beautiful 10/10 for me.... thank's HoriMiya for brighten my day :DD.
