Horimiya

Description

From Yen Press:
A sweet "aww"-inspiring tale of school life begins. At school, Kyouko Hori is known for being smart, attractive, and popular. On the other hand, her classmate, the boring, gloomy Izumi Miyamura tends to get painted as a "loser fanboy." But when a liberally pierced and tattooed (not to mention downright gorgeous) Miyamura appears unexpectedly on the doorstep of secretly plain-Jane homebody Hori, these two similarly dissimilar teenagers discover that there are multiple sides to every story and person.

I just read 2 chapters and all that i can say is THIS IS A GREAT SERI. Good art, good story, i'm really looking forward to knowing how the story will develop.
Hope that would end up with a happy ending. Beside, I recommend genre "seinen".

Unexpected Twist

by liquidsin

Rating: N/A

It's tough but you gotta be able to handle that first unexpected twist. It's smooth sailing if you can; if not, it'll gnaw at you the whole way through.

The dark, glasses-wearing kid from school who was always left out for being shady goes home afterwards to put in contacts, style his hair, insert his 9 piercings, and switch from a winter, long-sleeved uniform to a short-sleeve shirt that still hides his designer tattoos and muscular body... Who could have imagined that his secret side could be that of the most attractive guy in school?

Shocking, I know. I thought I'd be able to overcome this but it beat me in the end.

Edit for Above -

I enjoyed the aspect where the main characters share the piece of themselves that nobody else ever sees. The problem I had, though, is that the male lead's "secret side" doesn't make sense. Who goes home after 9 hours of school and has to switch into contacts because their glasses really tired their eyes out? How does a little kid give himself 9 piercings and not have anyone notice? Who gives 3 tattoos to a middle-school student (I hope he was that old), and how has he hidden that for the past x years?

Main relationship is ???

by CCheshire
10 years ago

Rating: N/A

I started out reading it as it was a remake w/better art from the original webcomic and cast were closer to IRL teens than most manga. At this point the lack of no/low drama is starting to be a downside as it feels like the creator threw in random scenarios for the main cast to have fights over nothing.

It's always awkward when a series you liked and the latest story arc is not that great compared to prior chapters. Characters are recognizable and line art is clean w/OK bg. Their personalities are somewhat flat which makes sense considering the original source material but less interesting in a manga series.

IMHO Main guy should breakup w/her because this is starting to fall into unhealthy relationship territory.

Regardless of quality I have to state something: this is a Shoujo Manga

by kirisaki

Rating: N/A

First of all I won't analyse the quality of the manga itself, that's why I refrained from rating it. I do have to say though, I dislike it but that's not very important, I just want to make a point since I didn't dislike it because I thought it was bad but because I immediately noticed it wasn't within the genres I like (shounen, seinen).

Let me start this by saying that I'm not criticizing the series itself, just trying to make a point. Now let's face it: Horimiya has got to be a Shoujo manga. Seriously think about it. Imagine you hadn't seen what genre it belonged to and were asked to guess it. I'm guessing that if we polled that and people answered completely unbiased (without having seen the genre before hand) the answers would be: 70% shoujo; 25% josei; 5% shounen/seinen/"no idea". If you're gonna say "but it comes out in a shounen magazine" I'll accept that but also point out that said magazine contains a shounen ai manga (Utau! Heiankyou), a shoujo manga (Tokyo Yamanote Boys) and 4 manga that eventually got transferred to shoujo magazines (Gestalt, Hatenkou Yuugi, Switch, Tactics) so it wouldn't be weird at all for Horimiya to actually belong more to the Shoujo label than Shounen.

Now you might be saying "yeah, yeah, whatever douchebag what does it matter?". Well, it matters quite a bit. Let me state this very clearly first: I do not think and am not saying that only women read and enjoy shoujo, or josei for that matter. Shoujo is just a sort of marketing label which indicates that the manga was mainly targeted towards a female audience, it doesn't mean that its readership or fan-base consist exclusively of women. Just as there are many many women out there who really enjoy Shounen or Seinen, I believe there is also a good amount of guys who appreciate and even prefer the genre. The thing is, we all have preferences. And a good amount of us have some genres that they just don't like. For instance, I do not enjoy shoujo or josei. I've tried a few before and quickly noticed that it really did nothing for me. Not because they're bad, but because it's a genre that really doesn't appeal to my taste in particular. That's all. And that's why these labels that fundamentally are nothing more than marketing labels end up being important when I'm looking for new manga to read. I mean, just think about it, it narrows down my search results to nearly half.

With that in mind, allow me to make a rather bold and particularly risky guess... I'm guessing that most people who really love (and I mean it, not just kind of liking it) this series are women. I apologize to any male fans for this rude guess, but I think that it helps my point. Horimiya is a shoujo series. I don't see how it isn't. If you don't think so I beg you to please try one thing: think back and remember the first chapter and think if it'd be weird if that was a shoujo series. Maybe not the classic absolutely generic shoujo but still a shoujo. No 2 ways around it, the story is perfectly shoujo-like.

That being said, to any out there who, like me, have tried the shoujo genre only to find that it did not suit their preferences, I can not recommend this as it absolutely feels like a shoujo story in every way.

I apologize if I have offended any fans out there, it was not my intention, I just wanted to state this for others like me.

EDIT: Oh and trust me, I'm not saying that just because this is a romance. I'm not that new to manga.

I'm only 10 chapters in, but I think I'll stop here. The "no homo"-esque moments irk me, and they gay = creepy thing is seriously pissing me off. The manga overall is okay, but boring. I'm out. Bye.

For those of you who keep complaining about shoujo, go read Akuma to Love Song or Warau Kanoko-sama/Koi Dano Ai Dano or Kare Kano. (Or if you prefer josei manhwa, Cheese in the Trap).
