Just be attractive and you'll have friends and a girlfriend.

Also be good at fighting and have tattoos so you're dangerous in a sexy way, but work in a cake shop for gap moe. You can have a loner complex but none of the downsides like social anxiety and awkward mannerisms, so your fake weakness attracts girls who think "I can save him". Miyamura is an otome fantasy and it ruins the message of the anime because everything falls in his lap by being hot.

It's an anime about showing your true colors and being vulnerable, but actually they're not real flaws and basically, just be a supermodel, dumbass.

He has social anxiety and awkward mannerisms (just look at how behave with his former middle school classmates, how he is during the early episode and the little moments that spread throughout the rest of the episodes, plus they skipped tons of chapters so the growth might seem too fast for anime only). But yeah, him being a badass(dude's skinny and in his spare time bake cakes or going for walks somehow equals as badass) but work at a cake shop really showed that the author was looking for gap moe.

His looks is something that he worked for himself so I disagree with that. Realistically if Miyamura is ugly this story would finish in chapter 1, most people tend to judge other people by their appearance first before anything else.

Before becoming Hori’s boyfriend : I am mistaken for an otaku . I have no friends ( I want to make friends ) . Someone make the first move plssssssssss

After becoming Hori’s boyfriend: I am Hori’s slave

Honestly I think the series would have been better if Yuki was the mc , because she has her demons to deal with and is pretty vulnerable ( which is supposed to be the tag line of the show)

And yes I have also read the manga … It’s basically the series but with some more comedy
If you are from South East Asia, then I request you, when you will start an anime, you search if it is available on Muse Asia and Ani-one Asia, before looking through piracy websites

I love how this thread is simply Hating on Miyamura for making the show unrealistic. This is called FICTION buddy.

P.S. Holy cow you really hate seinen shows that displays deep philosophy. Vinland saga a 5? Fate/ zero a 2?

I don't believe that horimiya pretended to be more than a really aestethic slice of life. Miyamura it's completely "broken" in sweetness, sex appeal and cuteness for comedic purpose.
Yes, you have some plot related to miyamura issues, but you have to remember: aestethic manga. Even Sakura it's pretty. But in theory she had to be fat and ugly? You have to take the ideas and enjoy the drawings. That's what I believe and I really love horimiya.

Pd: the anime it's a reduced copy paste of the manga so I'm talking about both of them.

Everyone knows that Erased is not a 9/10 because the MC got NTR'ed. Dr. Stone depicts real science yet you criticize it for having "unrealistic science"?

But they showed that Hori wasn't interested in other hot guys, it shows that she was interested in him for HIM. If you want a story about a not so good looking guy getting friends, there are a bunch of ones like that out there, but this isn't one of them. It just goes to show that even people who looks like him can struggle socially.

Yeah... The guy who had no friends for like 17 years because he's socially awkward and has anxiety issues, has everything handed over in a silver plate because he was secretly hot, but nobody noticed that until he started to actually pay attention to his appearance.
You know what's actually unrealistic? Thinking that being handsome and having poor social skills cannot happen at the same time.

I remember the original adaptation to the show and he was a lot more "dull" looking not so much ugly just averaged out, it might have just been the difference in animation but either way I was ok with it.

To be honest, Miyamura reflects my own high school experience a lot. I was completely socially awkward, talked to a few people once in a while but could never hang out with a group. But apparently I was pretty enough that a bunch of girls had a crush on me, just none of them approached me about it. I learnt only a few years later because somebody told me at a class reunion. So yeah, you can be attractive and still have no friends.
Besides, Miyamura doesn't make the first friends because he is attractive, but because he helps Hori's brother and because he's honest and kind enough to talk to Ishikawa about Hori.

Doesn't matter really. 90% of the female counterparts in the romcom territory are mentioned to be attractive.

Can't say if that was the exact instance (it's been awhile now), but it was along this line of reasoning that I dropped the manga. I thought Horimiya was going to be a bit more different than other generic romcoms, but it didn't turn out as hoped. It's such a shame.
