Horimiya Synopsis
Though admired at school for her kindness and academic prowess, high school student Kyouko Hori has been hiding another side of her. With her parents often away from home due to her work, Hori has to take care of her younger brother and do chores, with no time to socialize outside of school.
Meanwhile, Izumi Miyamura is seen as a brooding otaku who wears glasses. However, he is actually a kind person and inept at studying. Additionally, he has nine piercings hidden behind his long hair, and a tattoo along his back and left shoulder. By sheer chance, Hori and Miyamura pass each other outside of school, neither looking as the other would expect. These seemingly polar opposites become friends, sharing a side they’ve never shown anyone.
