Who would I recommend this to?
Fans of awkward teen romance and friend groups.

What is this about?
A group of students who come together during their final year.

When would be a good time to watch this?
Whenever.

Where does it take place?
Japan.

Why did I decide to watch this?
I was drawn in by the loner boy with glasses, tattoos, and piercings who gets the girl!

How did I like this?
This is a really cute series, but the pacing and focus was all over the place. The first half is a really cute romantic comedy between Kyoko and Izumi. Then it shifts to being more episodic stories about each member of the friend group. Then it goes back to the romance, but not fully. I liked all of the characters, but shoving all of their stories into a handful of episodes didn't seem like the best choice. If only this series had been longer. Or shorter, and just focused on the initial romance.

Have you seen HoriMiya? What did you think?
If not, would you watch it?
