Horimiya
Most romance anime is based on the chemistry between two characters and concludes with them confessing. Horimiya, on the other hand, does the opposite. It shows the confession between Miyamura and Hori early on and then fleshes out their relationship throughout the series. The two appear to be polar opposites, yet they are simply concealing their true selves from the rest of the world.
Horimiya focuses on the everyday lives of its characters, showcasing relatable situations and experiences. From school life and part-time jobs to family dynamics and friendships, Horimiya explores various aspects of daily life, allowing viewers to see themselves reflected in the characters' experiences. Additionally, the anime delves into the relationships of its side characters, further enhancing its realistic portrayal of human connections.
Horimiya acknowledges that relationships are not always perfect. It explores the ups and downs, the conflicts and compromises, and the uncertainties that come with being in a romantic relationship. This realistic portrayal of the complexities of love adds depth and authenticity to the story. It employs various traditional tropes, but reinvents them so that the audiences do not see them a thousand times before.
