Horimiya Synopsis
Although admired at school for her kindness and academic prowess, high school student Kyouko Hori has been hiding another side of her. With her parents often away from home due to her work, Hori has to take care of her younger brother and do household chores, without having time to socialize outside of school.
Meanwhile, Izumi Miyamura is seen as a brooding, glasses-wearing otaku. However, he is actually a kind person and inept at studying. Additionally, he has nine piercings hidden behind his long hair, and a tattoo along his back and left shoulder. By pure chance, Hori and Miyamura pass each other outside the school, neither looking like the other would expect. These seemingly opposite poles become friends, sharing a side they have never shown to anyone.
