Horimiya feels like it’s about to cross that line between a light-hearted rom-com and an over the top romance drama, but it never does, which is a good thing (A reference from the Oscar winning film, Parasite). After reading the manga for so many years, I was also happy to hear the news. It might not be an exaggeration to say that Horimiya is Winter 2021 most anticipated anime right after SnK final season. After years, when everyone gave up on an adaption, there was an announcement. Regardless, Horimiya has been a wonderful journey full of laughs, occasional tears, and a colorful mix of personalities who seemed so different yet came together in the names of love, friendship, and acceptance of one another - and themselves most of all.Horimiya is one of the most anticipated adaption ever. With so many lingering questions, it seems a good bet that there will be a "true" finale in the form of a film or an OVA episode. Are they just friends or do they acknowledge their romantic feelings? What are Hori and Miyamura planning to do with their post-high school lives? Are they getting married, going to college, or job hunting? What are they passionate about doing in life? And these are only a few burning issues that still need resolution.
Likewise, Yuki and Toru never actually reach a final decision on their relationship. Miyamura says both - including his father, who has never been seen on screen - were there but left shortly after.
Fittingly, Hori is annoyed that she didn't get to meet Miyamura's parents at the ceremony. His journey to self-acceptance is complete and he knows that, come what may in his future, he's going to be okay with Hori beside him.ĭespite this lovely resolution for Miyamura and the students' graduation, the Horimiya finale ultimately still leaves something to be desired. The two have a touching conversation as present-day Miyamura is finally ready to acknowledge and accept every side of himself, which causes his previous high school visage to disappear once and for all. Heading up to the school's rooftop, he finds the Miyamura seen in Episode 1 - longer hair covering his face, lonely, and scared of his tattoos and body piercings being discovered. Throughout the season, Miyamura continues battling his inner demons which take the visual form of his previous selves from earlier points in his life.Īs graduation and the future beyond arrives, Miyamura spends the episode reflecting on the chain of events that led him to meet Hori, fall in love, and become integrated in a social circle full of jovial friends. The overarching theme of the finale, however, is the recap and conclusion to Miyamura's journey from a highly self-conscious and silent loner to a happy young man whose life is now full of color and meaning.
