Horimiya is not your normal high school boy meets girl and they somehow get attracted attracted to one another. Its has a very diffrent feel First it is very refresing to see how the characters relationship will develop as the chapters progress. It's slow paced but boy it makes you wanna read more. You just don't know what's coming around the corner. It can be unpredictable at times or straight in your face *laughs* sorry reminded me of a scene.
Though I don't want to say this your average high school in an anime or manga it is definitely not. It takes more of different approach on the character which makes you more........
'Interested' but not your average approach but like very in to it. Though you might compare this with a shojou where there a lot of romantic scenes. This one is more in your face wow where did that come from reaction. Hori and Miyamura relationship is not one where you find in a romance manga or anime. It is more driven by the main characters interactions with each other that increases the feelings they have for one another.
So lets now look into the characters, This is where it stands out. The main character, Hori is not the character that just falls in love straight away. Though it may not seem. Like it at first she is very nice but then she is unpredictable although self coniscous and very reliable at the same time. She is given the charecteristics that all of us might be able to agree with. However the other main character Miyamura is the complete oposite of that, the uneasy aura and weirdness that he spreads unconsciously brings others to think hes a sadist otaku that plays with figurines and what otakus do. However once we get to know him more we see he is a reliable and kind protagonist that really is the basis of a good manga of this kind. Thus the 2 characters are mostly compatible with one another which brings us to the start of their relationship.
Now lets talk about the other characters ie the side characters. However we do see them occasionally there is a sense of satisfaction that they are in the scene. My fav supporter would be Horus father, he is funny and surprisingly like a hurdle to Miyamura. The other characters also add to the excitement of the story.
Note That I am just starting out reading manga and this was my second manga I have read up till now I can am judging on the mangaka on how he takles the art. It is your average art but how it is used in every scene makes it more alive. As if you were actually feeling the characters emotion and thoughts. Thus giving the reader a huge intrest in the story.
In conclusion Horimiya is one where you can't miss and a must read. It makes you want to read more and more and trys to bring you into a deeper insight of love that may seem slow but blooms like a flower. Slow though beautiful .
Thanks for reading. :)
Sorry if this was short and maybe you didn't like it but all in all please try it out.
