Despite the series concluding last volume, here’s another volume of antics. Because if there was ever a series that didn’t know how to quit while it was ahead, it’s Horimiya.
I’m aware that I am mean, occasionally brutal, to the adventures of Hori and Miyamura. But it comes from a place of such admiration for the early volumes of the series. I have said my piece on that front; one of my most popular reviews is a single paragraph griping about this series’ turn to the mundane.
So what’s left to say? Look, if you just want to hang out with these characters for one last time, this is exactly that. There is no growth, no revelations, no nothing. It is just a little victory lap, mostly unearned, but for a certain audience that will be more than enough.
At least one story, about a blustery day that manages to wreck everybody’s hair, is a ton of fun and shows what this could be when it was at its peak, though it really doesn’t have an emotional core. It’s just goofing around.
The flaws consequently keep peeking through and reminding me of the things that don’t work. Hori remains eternally cranky; the story where she’s being outdone at so-called girl stuff by Miyamura is straight out of an 80s sitcom it’s so hack.
It’s rather a shame, since Hori has a really beautiful monologue at the very end of things. It’s a very heartfelt little section that really digs into her feelings, but it feels way too little, too late since she’s been so continually shrill in the actual series.
Shockingly, they also decide to emotionally kick Sakura once again, which is this bizarre fixation the story seems to have. Or I just notice it because she deserved so, so much better than she got. Yes, it’s not framed that way in the story, but still feels cheap.
Yoshikawa continues to deny that there’s anything between her and Tohru either, so hope you weren’t expecting any closure there. She gets more time with the gross teacher, another character written from something decades prior.
It’s not bad, it just is not for me. I bought it to say goodbye one last time to characters I used to love. I don’t think it’s me, it’s them. I have reread earlier Horimiya and it is so charming and enjoyable with a solid cast and an emotional core. This is the large cast and goofing around with little point that it devolved into.
There’s even a beach scene, just because, which goes so light on fan service and any sort of story that I genuinely am not sure what the point of it is. I’m not trying to encourage it, but if you’re doing it, at least do something with it.
3 stars - and so the sun sets, again, on the series. This is just a little bit extra for the people who wanted it and, if you were well done with this story by this point, there’s nothing here that makes it essential in any way.

Im doneee, I would give the series overall a 4 stars, I really liked hori and miyamura but after thier romance was set the plot became more episodic, when I wish it had focused more on the side couples and made their endings more clear. Also hoped we had seen more of the dynamic of their parents especially in thier past and of sota in the future.

This story is beautiful and I’m so sad it’s finally over. I wish the epilogue was longer

I mean… this released after the anime. So that’s backwards. So…nothing new just the anime put to paper form. Disappointed.

Crying so hard. I absolutely loved that the graduation chapter was repeated again, just so we could hear Hori’s side of it. Such a sweet moment….How Miyamura changed her world just as much as she changed his. I hope these two stay together forever!!!!

J'ai l'impression d'avoir lu deux mangas au fil de l'histoire. Et ce n'est pas dans le bon sens du terme.
A l'origine, j'étais vraiment fan de l'histoire. Entre Hori qui ne peut pas vivre sa vie de lycéenne normale, devant faire tourner la maison, et Miyamura ne trouvant pas sa place au milieu des autres lycéens. Ils font évoluer leur relation, chacun avec son secret, à l'abri du regard des autres, et il y avait de quoi faire quelque chose de vraiment très intéressant. Miyamura était petit à petit intégré au groupe de Hori à l'école, et à la maison, c'est lui qui est là pour l'aider et la soutenir au quotidien.
Cela a duré pendant environ 40 chapitres, pour mettre, sans surprise, la romance en place puis... Puis c'est comme si on passait sur une autre œuvre.
Les préoccupations de Hori par rapport à son foyer s'envole (les parents sont revenus comme par magie, on a jamais su pourquoi), plus personne ne se pose de question sur Miyamura, l'histoire n'a plus de fil rouge, on suit juste le quotidien au lycée, comme si c'était de petits sketchs. Si cela avait été vendu comme tel à la base, pourquoi pas, mais ce n'est pas le cas.
A partir de là, impossible de rester concentrée dans l'histoire. J'ai tenu à finir le manga pour me faire un vrai avis, mais ça m'a paru durer une éternité. Ajoutez à cela certains changement, comme faire passer Hori pour une fille extra violente (ça, ça sortait vraiment de nul part aussi, et je n'en ai pas compris l'intérêt), intégrer de plus en plus de persos secondaires qui seront à peine survolé...
Au final, pas de vraie conclusion, pas de vraie résolution des intrigues posées à la base (personne ne saura jamais vraiment pourquoi Hori et Miyamura était comme ça au départ).
J'avoue être assez déçue de ce fait. J'ai appris à apprécier les personnages, mais j'ai l'impression de les avoir perdu en cours de route, et ça m'a laissé un sentiment de brouillon assez décevant. Ce n'était pas mauvais non plus, mais je ne dirais bien que j'ai apprécié ma lecture pour autant.

me encantó la manera en la que buscaron darle un cierre mostrando más interacciones entre personajes, y rogando que jamás vuelva a pasar lo del estornudo a los Hori 🤣

not a day goes by that i won't yearn for a man like miyamura <3 he is forever my baby girl
also daisuke hagiwara really cooked with how beautiful he made everyone in this volume like forget the haters this is always going to be my favourite series and i will never ever get tired of this silly little story which is part and parcel as to why it took me so abysmally long to finish this final extra volume. even though it's been finished for a long time to actually let go of this dumb little story was too much for me
also iura i will always be so fond of you!!!

Es ist unmöglich, Horimiya nicht zu mögen

Full 17-volume review
It's simple: Kyouko Hori is smart, attractive, outgoing and popular. Izumi Miyamura is quiet, gloomy, and gives off loser vibes. Everyone knows just from looking what kind of person each of them is.
Except...when she's not at school, Hori is the primary afterschool caretaker for her younger brother and keeps house. And Miyamura's long hair and dour vibes cover up his unacceptable-in-school piercings and friendly personality. When these two inadvertently come across each other in their after-school alter-egos, they start getting to know each other.
This story is a great mix of humor and seriousness. It's not that Hori and Miyamura and putting on another identity for school, it's just that they have "public" selves and "private" selves. As they get closer, we see how their private and public selves fit together—they remain themselves no matter what, but it's also clear that they're increasingly willing to share parts of themselves with each other that their other friends won't see.
As the series goes, the spotlight expands to include close friends, and the narrative gives them plenty of time in the spotlight, too. By the end, you have the title characters, another 5-6 who get almost as much time, and then a handful who got less, but still got multiple chapters dedicated to their own stories (in addition to frequent appearances as secondary characters). The cast of characters doesn't get too big, but it does drive home that Hori and Miyamura are very much embedded in their own families and social groups, like real people.
One of the things that impressed me most about Horimiya is the lack of a villain. There is no evil character or group gunning to tear Hori and Miyamura apart or trying to destroy their school lives. The drama and tension in this series instead comes from much more realistic sources: old classmates you're not sure you want to remain friends with; having an unrequited crush where no one is demonized or does anything wrong, but the crush-er still gets hurt because they want what they can't have; making mistakes; not knowing how to handle emotions.
Don't mistake this as me saying this series is staid. There is plenty of action and emotion to go around, and I appreciated that it came from a variety of sources that seemed more natural. And there is plenty of humor to go around; this is a series that never fails to make me laugh.
The series really ends in volume 16. This 17th volume has some bonus stories, which makes it worth it for anyone who enjoyed the full run, but don't expect any big reveals in this extra book.

Petit tome bonus histoire de retrouver tout le monde une dernière fois le temps d'histoires courtes pleines de chaleur humaine, de drôlerie et d'amitié. Le quotidien de nos héros revu une dernière fois, au lycée, chez Hori, à la plage. C'est mignon, c'est doux, c'est frais. Comme on s'est attaché à eux, ça fait plaisir de les retrouver une dernière fois. On s'amuse de leurs bêtises. On sourit de les voir tourner leurs professeurs en bourrique. On est attendri par leurs histoires de coeur. Et surtout ça fait du bien de voir de si belles amitiés qu'on espère voir perdurer dans le temps. Un tome très chill qui fait un bien fou.

Le tome 17, lui, est plus convaincant. Ce n’est pas une suite, mais une série de souvenirs inédits qui permettent de dire au revoir aux personnages en douceur. J’ai particulièrement aimé relire le dernier chapitre du point de vue de Hori, un ajout vraiment intéressant.
Si vous êtes fan, le tome 17 vaut le détour.
En bref, une belle manière de tourner la page sur Horimiya, mais pas indispensable pour tout le monde.

January 19, 2025Oh what a nice slice of life. Everything after they got together became more or less the same and I got a little bored after the 13th volume so it’s good that it has ended. It ends on a nice note, not too much revealed in the epilogue so you can only look back and be fond of their high school years. It’s good. No dive into the adult reality. Just a fun period of their life.

This is a really cute special edition that lets fans reminisce about the series with some new content. This is one of my favorite high school romance mangas, and so I really like it when new special volumes are released now that the series is over. I love all of these characters so much.

4/25 Such fun hanging out with the group one last time! So glad I finally got my hands on a copy. The edition I received was a boxed set that included a regular manga book + a thin art book. I couldn't find any information on what to expect so it was a pleasant surprise.
