The manga is published in English by Yen Press, and it provides the following description for the story:
Initially, Hori-san, a highly popular high school girl, may appear to be superficial, but in reality, she is down-to-earth, practical, and prioritizes her family. On the other hand, Miyamura-kun, a bespectacled classmate, gives off an impression of an average, gloomy high school otaku, but beneath it all, he is an attractive young man with a rebellious side, adorned with piercings and tattoos. When these two unexpectedly similar classmates have a chance encounter outside of the classroom, a heartwarming and delightful tale of school life unfolds!
Daisuke Hagiwara commenced the Horimiya manga in Square Enix’s Monthly G Fantasy magazine in 2011, adapting HERO’s Hori-san to Miyamura-kun four-panel school comedy manga, and concluded it in March 2021. HERO supervised the manga. Square Enix released the 16th and final compiled volume of the manga in July 2021. Yen Press will publish the 16th volume on May 23. Hagiwara crafted an epilogue chapter for the manga in July 2021.
The manga served as the inspiration for a television anime that debuted in Japan in February 2021. Funimation streamed the anime simultaneously with its airing and provided an English dubbed version as well.
