Review of Horimiya

I'm the type of person who particularly don't like romance animes. My dropped animes recently belong to the romance category, and they disappointed me big time. But, when I tried to give Horimiya a watch, this anime is unlike other romcoms. The show didn't try to be sweet or have some fluffs or even lewd. It was just being pure and had quite realistic relationship between characters, the right amount of goofiness, and not causing any cringe like any other shows. This show legitimately gave you the excitement to not only explore Hori and Miyamura's attempts to build their chemistry, but also gave highlight to othercharacters with no poor writings such as Yuki, Tooru, Sengoku, Sakura, and Remi. Like the story, every character in here is polished and refined, even the silliest Kyosuke is a great addition to the show.

The fluff is still there though, like any other romcoms. Hori and Miyamura are sweet, they value each other for their simplicity, their flaws, and weirdness. That's what other romcom animes don't have, often times the MC or the main love interest is way too perfect, but Hori has flaws that Miyamura can accept, and Miyamura has weaknesses that Hori can cover. And that, ladies and gentlemen, is quite realistic (though some aspects are not, but this is a fictional work anyway).

So yeah, Horimiya is my personal favourite when it comes to romcom. Totally recommended.
