Horimiya Special 1-Shot Epilogue Chapter [NEWS]

Horimiya’s publisher announces that the high school romance manga’s final volume will include a new epilogue set after graduation.

The final volume of the Horimiya manga will give fans an additional glimpse of Hori and Miyamura’s life after graduation.

The July issue of Square Enix‘s Monthly G Fantasy magazine revealed last Friday that Daisuke Hagiwara‘s Horimiya manga will have a special one-shot chapter in the magazine’s next issue on July 16. The manga’s 16th and final volume will also ship on the same day. The new one-shot will have a story that takes place immediately after Hori and Miyamura graduate.

Horimiya is a shonen romance manga about Kyoko Hori, a smart and popular high school student, and Izumi Miyamura, a shy and withdrawn outsider who everyone at school assumes is a hardcore otaku. After Miyamura helps her little brother find his way home one day, Hori is shocked to discover that outside of school, Miyamura is actually rather stylish and good looking, and hides his true appearance at school in order to avoid getting in trouble over his many piercings and tattoos. The two eventually develop a friendship that buds into a romance as the two help each other overcome their individual issues.

The series was originally created and self-published online in 2007 under the title Hori-san to Miyamura-kun by an artist known as Hero. Under Hero’s supervision, Daisuke Hagiwara adapted the original webcomic into a manga, which began serialization in Monthly G Fantasy magazine in 2011. This version of the manga was localized into English and released internationally by Yen Press. A single-season anime, also based on Hagiwara’s adaptation, was produced by Wonder Egg Priority studio CloverWorks in early 2021. A live-action adaptation of the series is also currently airing on Japanese TV.
