Today's post is on Horimiya, volume 1 by HERO and Daisuke Hagiwara. It is 176 pages long and is published by Yen Press. The cover has the two main characters on it. The intended reader is someone who likes romantic comedies. There is no foul language, no sex, and no violence in this manga. The story is told from third person close of the main female character, Kyouko Hori. There Be Spoilers Ahead.
From the back of the book- At school, Kyouko Hori is known for being smart, attractive, and popular. On the other hand, her classmate, the boring, gloomy Izumi Miyamura tends to get painted as a "loser fanboy." But when a liberally pierced and tattooed (not to mention downright gorgeous) Miyamura appears unexpectedly on the doorstep of secretly plain-Jane homebody Hori, these two similarly dissimilar teenagers discover that there are multiple sides to every story...and person!
Review- This is story about two people learning to look beneath the surface to see the real person. Kyouko has to be the parent for her younger brother. Izumi Miyamura does not want he classmates to think badly of him so he hides a large part of himself from others. When Miyamura helps Hori's little brother they discover each other's secrets. The plot is interesting but it is the characters that are special and that I enjoyed the best. Hori is just trying to do her best but she does not want everyone to know her business. Miyamura does not have any friends that we see in this manga but he does start making them. There is going to be a love triangle but I think it will not be overwhelming. A good start to a shonen rom-com.
I give this manga a Five out of Five stars. I get nothing for my review and I borrowed this manga from a friend.
