ホリミヤ [Horimiya] #7

by Hero, Daisuke Hagiwara (Artist)

And the high school lives of the usual suspects from Kiri High grow even livelier, as Hori abruptly starts demanding violence from Miyamura, the student council trio gets unusually flustered, and the sports festival arrives!

Dislike: What is up with Hori wanting Miyamura to yell at her and slap her? Her character is becoming really odd and unsympathetic.

Like: the continued development of side characters, especially the type A student council girl Sakura and her crush. Her semi-patient attempts to teach her two friends to cook were sweet.

My favorite scene was the boys at the fast food place trying to diagram from one another the various relationships and crushes of their friends group. Yanagi was there but he's too short-sighted to notice.

Also, a cameo by the guys Hori beat up in the previous volume, still trembling in hear of her.

[Miranda]

So Hori is into Miyamura being violent and mean to her, which to me reads as her being into BDSM. It's treated about as well as you'd expect. The series is starting to lose some of its charm because of this, as now that the two leads are together, the story doesn't seem to really know what to do with them. Their characters aren't as strong as they were in the first few volumes, either because they're not being focused on as much or because the writer is stuck with the "lol Hori is into being hit and yelled at and Miyamura isn't" gag.

I'll keep reading, but hopefully it finds some of that old charm again.

Welcome Akane-san.

And what's with Hori and her fetishes ^_^

[Keiko the manga enthusiast ♒︎]

You know what? I won't hold it against Hori. She's been a straightforward character since the beginning and that's what I loved about her.

But what I love about this volume tho?
☑ How the guys get along well! Augh, I told you that's my fave theme of all time; the freaking male friendship!!
☑ Miyamura's character development. It's heartwarming to see him finally growing his circle and he's not afraid to come out of the box he shut himself into since he was young.
☑ The cover story (and the previous ones too!!)
☑ Miyamura's jealousy! I mean, yea boy, bring it on, it's human nature. Accept it! At least now, you realize that you deserve Hori! And you're not freaking toxic about it! That's growth mf.
☑ Miyamura is the freaking best boy. I HAVEN'T CHECKED YET WHO WON THE CRUNCHYROLL BEST BOY THO BUT I VOTED MIYAMURA SO HOPE HE'S THE WINNER

I forgot something. Hori thought Miyamura never gets jealous. I think she forgot about Sawada and Miyamura freaking out about it but not in the toxic kind of way okay. Or maybe she never viewed it as such. Anyway, they only looked like brothers and sisters bickering around.

Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐⭐⭐️/5
Read: 1 April - 1 April 2026

3rd read of April alr? 😏

"Or..would you wish I was violent and screamy or something?"
"Noo that's... that would be nice"

Soooo guys.. this was so... AMAZING (like duh 😏) sooo this was sure super bingable. The jacket sense was peak. Also omg when he tried to be the way she wants and he scared 2 girls.

"A...slap"
" Just a slap is fine, so.."

"no."

"why? C'?mon be like before,okay?"
"Get all forceful one more timee.."

"no way! No now!"

"cmon pleassseee"
And he's all like SHES ASKING FOR VIOLENCE!

Like fr they are tooo adorbs guys. Like stop when he fucking screamed at her and then he looked at her and she was smiling and he was like 😀 wtf is wrong with my girlfriend.

"Hori-san listen!!"

And he turned and found her smiling so he hugged her and was like nvm wtv you want is fine by me.and omg stop when she went to the convience store and then got out and miyamura slapped her (as she likes guys) and was like why are you late and yeah and his old classmates jaw dropped, bc the same girl once kicked their ass so badly. Anyways I got to head to the manga after guys, yk me.

[Rod Brown]

How did such a fun series become such a drudge? There is no longer a forward storyline as we've become mired in a most dull status quo. I know some of these characters had personalities in earlier volumes, but based on these strips, I'm having real trouble remembering what they might have been.

[Paula]

No recuerdo cuál fue el último manga que me sacó carcajadas como lo hace éste.
Amo esa relación medio yaoi entre Ishikawa y Miyamura.

[Vasil Kolev]

It's starting to get unreadable.

[tammy]

3.5* sorry i just refuse to give a horimiya volume lower than a 4 star rating i am incapable

[Abbie]

The cooking scene took me out

[Lauren]

This volume was better than the last but it’s lost some of its charm along the way which is a shame :( I think this is mainly because Hori-san demands Miyamura to be violent towards her which I really do not get! I don’t think it’s funny or cute (especially when she’s telling him to slap her) and she is insanely jealous of any girl who so much as looks at Miyamura which is ridiculous!
But I am enjoying the exploration of Yuki, Tooru and Kouna’s characters - they are a great secondary cast and I’m falling head over heels in love with them <3

[mariam]

HAHAHAHAHA
Oh Hori is absolutely funny and loveable. Her 'new' side is quiet unique. Poor Miyamura-kun..
*laughs*

If we surround a pot with veggies, will it sprout a curry fountain ?

How did Sengoku even become school president 😭

[Alexis U]

This volume had one of my favorite scenes of the whole series thus far, but the back half of it kind of dragged. In the first half we get some good character development with Yuki, the introduction of a new character, and the best scene with girls setting aside their differences and supporting each other. So wholesome and so good! The second half was mostly just silly one-off scenes that didn’t do much for me. So, three stars it is~~

[James DeSantis]

This volume keeps up the fun (and it gets a bit dark).

This time Hori wants to be smacked around by her boyfriend. It's a bit weird, but not too crazy. I mean some people like to be smacked around during sex, makes it way better, but she likes when he just takes control and slaps her in public, so it's a bit weird. But it still works. The rest is light hearted and fun, with a really cute cooking moment with other characters.

Still enjoyable. I can't say this series BLOWS me away but it's always fun. A 4 out of 5.

[Daisy Mauricio]

This volume deserves five stars :). It was funny to finally see Miyamura getting jealous since he hardly ever does. I'm also happy that we got to see the student council more especially near the last couple of chapters haha.

[Craig Schorling]

I still really enjoy this cast of characters but not much happened in this volume. There were a couple laughs with Hori wanting Miyamura to lay on some abuse but the bulk of this just seemed to be going through the motions.

[**Sognatrice di libri**]

Continua questa storia divertente e come sempre mi piace molto.

[DonutKnow]

Gosh, I live for those cute, jealous moments 😂

I just love how these characters stay true to themselves, it makes them so lovable ❤️❤️

[katnissevergreen]

I said I won't be reading Horimiya 'til next week. But I can't help it 😂😂😂😂 The anime is a cliffhanger 😝

[Amidori]

No se, me está empezando a decepcionar un poco, siento que la relación de hori y miyamura ya pasó a segundo plano, como que solo se está centrando en la vida cotidiana y de los amigos pero nada de su relación, como que de vez en cuando pasan cosas con ellos y ni siquiera tan románticas

[Lx.Nx]

Wieder ein toller Band, hier geht es auch mehr um die Nebencharaktere und ihre Beziehungen zueinander. Finde ich ganz schön, so lernt man jeden im Freundeskreis kennen.

[eirignis]

mais madame comment ça tu veux que ton copain te frappe??? ça va pas la tête ????

[Judyth]

~4.5-5/5
(Contains some spoilers.)

I don't think I could love this series any more than I do.

There's still the ongoing drama between the triangle—Yuki, Tooru, and Kouno. Tooru is still rather oblivious, even though Miyamura has hinted. Kouno starts worrying about giving Tooru baked goods. Yuki, on the other, has ended up with her own admirer in the form of a super cute classmate. It looks like the new guy might be sticking around, and he's super sweet and clutzy; I'm a fan.

Then the school sports festival is coming up, and there are two main teams. It starts getting a little competitive, and everyone is working hard to do their best, even in sports they don't like.

Of course, I love all of the humorous moments amongst all of this. This series is hilarious. The sweet moments between Hori and Miyamura, though, get me just as good. There's a cute moment of jealousy between them. In a surprising development, we find out that Hori likes seeing Miyamura get angry, and she wants him to yell at her. This is funny from an outsider perspective, and Miyamura is trying to do it for her, because Hori loves it and begs for it. Miyamura feels bad and weird, though. It's also comedic given that Hori is significantly more scary than Miyamura is; he's also always been very careful around her. I really appreciate the casual introduction of a consensual kink, especially with a couple that hasn't gotten too intimate, and with no shame or worry involved.

I absolutely love this series, and cannot get enough.

Seven volumes into the series and this has been the only one so far that kinda missed the mark a little bit for me. I didn't really care for the whole plot about Hori wanting Miyamura to get angry- it felt out of place and a bit uncomfortable. The overall plot of this installment also seemed too all over the place: there was the cooking portion, the sports festival, the angry plot, etc- it felt erratic.
On a more positive note, the characters and relationships are still developing really well, and of course the humor in this series is so good.
