Kyoko ist in der Schule allen bekannt als klug, hübsch und beliebt. Ihr Klassenkamerad Izumi hingegen ist schüchtern und sehr zurückhaltend. Kein Wunder, dass beide Ihren Augen nicht trauen können, als plötzlich ein gepiercter Izumi in Punkklamotten vor der ungestylten Stubenhockerin Kyoko steht.
Hori und Miyamura sind endlich ein Paar. Und nachdem Miyamura einen Image-Wechsel an sich vorgenommen hat, um Hori vor boshaftem Geschwätz zu schützen, wird er von seiner Umgebung plötzlich ganz anders wahrgenommen…

Nobody is saying otherwise Miyamura San

And just reading about their cute relationship and their life is comforting and relaxing. It's like a therapy.

MIYAMURA'S IKEMEN METER JUST WENT UP 1000000x BECAUSE OF HIS HAIRCUT! <3 Shuu's reaction to Miyamura is basically the same as mine xD He looks so different but short hair really suits him. It's cute seeing Hori become jealous with all the female attention Miyamura has been receiving.
Kyosuke's reaction is funny as hell xD
"HEY, DWEEB, WHO THE HELL ARE YOU? HUNH?! WE'VE ALREADY GOT OURSELVES A SUCCESSOR AROUND HERE."

He's so protective of Miyamura xD

I'm actually loving this more than Ao Haru Ride and that's like my favourite manga ever. I'm Kou and Futaba but Hori and Miyamura are taking over the two of you. Their lives are so normal and still much more fun to read. I guess it's cuz in a way other's no unnecessary drama. Both of them are so in love with each other :D

What is this manga? XD It's been so long since I've read previous volumes that I forgot just how silly Horimiya could get.

It's ridiculous, but it's a realistic ridiculous, which makes a lot of the crazy even funnier than if it was just over the top. It plays with your expectations, and the punchline is just that much funnier when it wasn't at all what you were expecting.

New Haircut, new style, new life!

Oh not really. Though we do get the couple finally getting a bit deeper into their relationship. Showing up together, wanting to be together, and a lot more of Hori's crazy-ass father which is a ton of fun. This one has plenty of good comedy bits, a cute bit about the leads not seeing each other for a while, and an interesting ending where I feel we're going to get deeper into the life of our main characters very soon.

But yeah another really solid volume. It's drama and love life, but if you like both, this is an easy read. A 4out of 5.

I love just seeing these characters' day to day lives.

I'm also happy that a sapphic character was introduced - we need some diversity!

The relationships are getting crazier, as are Ishikawa's surreal dreams. Definitely laughed out loud at several points.

Total aside, just checking to see how different mangas handle it, this manga doesn't number every page, but it does label enough so that it's easy to figure out which page is what, which I think aligns with what I've seen with other manga.

Horimiya Vol. 5 was another delightful addition to the Horimiya series.

Hori and Miyamura are now officially dating and everyone has an opinion about it. Worried about how their relationship may affect Hori, Miyamura completely changes up his look. When everyone gets a look at the new Miyamura, their opinion of him begins to change.

This series continues to be a ton of fun and I enjoyed this volume just as much as the first four. The art style of this manga is one of my favorites and I love the level of detail the illustrator includes. Hori and Miyamura began dating at the end of the previous volume so this volume continues to explore their romantic relationship. I really enjoy these two together as they're so sweet with each other. Due to how different the pair are, Miyamura decides to change up his look to varying reactions from his classmates. Miyamura's embarrassment over others finding him attractive was sweet. This volume introduces another new character, Sawada, who begins a friendship with Hori. I liked the little rivalry between her and Miyamura for Hori's attentions. The friendships in this series continue to be fantastic and I'm enjoying getting to see more of them develop.

Overall Horimiya Vol. 5 was a fun read and I'm looking forward to picking up the next volume soon. I highly recommend the Horimiya series if you're looking for a great shoujo manga series to read.

Miyamura is such a cutie ❤️ And I love how confident Hori is with expressing herself, but at the same time not- the angst but the eventual earnestness is beautiful 💖💖

As we progressed deeper into Hori and Miyamura's relationship, a rival has made an appearance! And guess what? she's into Hori! Did it shock me? No. Was the volume funny tho? Yes.

This volume is full of cute scenes and spiced with comedy but it still feels like there is no development to the plot or anything. I don't even know if there is a plot. I feel like I am just reading/watching these characters go on with their lives and experience romantic relationships which I never had but anyway, it still is a nice read.

I still have high hopes with this manga and I really do want to enjoy this but just like I've said, there are things that I have a problem with with this manga and that is because of Hori's tendency to hit someone. I really want someone to slap her and tell her that she's abusive. I think that is the reason why I am still clinging to this manga is to see that development of hers.

Overall, it's a cute manga. Enjoyable but it lacks development.

Disappointed.
Lately the chapters are all over the place. There's no plot whatsoever. The chapters don't connect with one another, it's really random. Like in one chapter they're focusing on the main characters, then the next the spotlight's on the minor characters! *sigh*

In volume 5 we get some nice development in regards to Hori and Miyamura’s relationship, and a potential rival makes an appearance.

I'm not sure if I’ve brought this up in reviews of previous volumes, but I really do love the art in Horimiya. It’s simplistic in the sense that there isn’t usually a lot going on in each frame, often backgrounds are omitted or patterned, and we often get closeups of body language or facial expressions, it really adds this sense of quiet to certain panels. I think this suits the subtle nature of the series very well and I appreciate how the pages never feel overly busy.

Now in regards to the story, I always love when Shindou makes an appearance in a volume. We’re also introduced to Sawada in this volume, and it definitely took me a while to warm up to her character. It could be my bias towards Miyamura speaking, but she really annoyed me and came off way too strong initially. I do like that this is a different take on a rival though. We do get some really cute moments between Hori and Miyamura in this instalment and those chapters were easily my favourite.

As for what I didn't like, a bit of backstory first. If you’re unfamiliar with the origins of Horimiya, it’s actually an adaptation of the much darker webcomic Hori-san and Miyamura-kun, which was written and illustrated by Hero. Hori-san and Miyamura-kun is now completed, but has an omake (or spinoff if you like) that is still on-going and features side stories of the original series. Horimiya, for the most part focuses on the original story, but also includes some of the side stories thrown in. If there ever feels like there’s a disruption in the narrative, or plot points that don’t quite make sense, it can usually be attributed to the insertion of these side stories. I think they were particularly noticeable in this volume, and I wish Hagiwara had taken a few more storytelling liberties to make them fit in better with the plot.
