Horimiya review

I'm writing my first ever review just to let out my frustration with this manga. It started decent, and me, being a loving slice of life manga reader was happy about it. The story was simple: two teenagers -classmates- who don't speak to each other found themselves outside of school only to discover that both of them are pretty different of what they seem to be in school. slowly, they start to know each other and calmly fall in love. that's it.

how can you ruin that? well, it was possible! the first third of the manga it's great, just a simple story with light humor and good art but it's in the second third when the story found itself in trouble to keep the humor up and started to put a lot of unfunny jokes and on top of that a lot of domestic violence jokes. Hori, the girl, choose violence every time she gets mad (which is a lot of times) and things don't go the way they planned which ends up in having SEVERAL occasions when Miyamura, the boy, arrives to school wounded and everyone joking about how Hori is a demon.

By the last third the story just gets unbearable, there's no way you can call that relationship "love" when it's based on Miyamura tip-toeing aroung Hori to not make her mad and Hori having trouble with the lack of character Miyamura has. The boy honestly doesn't even seem to have opinions, he just adapts to whatever Hori wants. The "growth" of the characters doesn't have any sense, we had Hori not making a single comment on Miyamura's piercings for the whole manga and Miyamura saying that it was one of the reasons he likes Hori it's because she doesn't judge people to have her to be 100 episodes in and have her get mad and resort to violence when Miyamura decide to start using his piercings again (that he stopped wearing because of school policies).

I don't really know what else to say as i think my examples get my point across. This series lost his argument and now it's an interchangeable school love story you can find anywhere.
