Didnt think Id find myself relating more to a manga characters love life than my own, but here we are, thanks to Horimiya. Something about Hori and Miyamura stepping out of their perceived identities to explore who they really are just hits different. Its like watching a caterpillar turn into a butterfly, but with more teenage angst and misunderstandings.
Speaking of misunderstandings, the cake incident? Where Miyamura thought he was being helpful but ended up causing a whole drama saga. Classic. Its these light hearted moments amidst the deep exploration of identity and connection that make Horimiya stand out.
This manga doesnt just give us a love story. it reflects the modern struggle of being true to oneself in a world full of labels. It asks, what does it mean to be you when everyone expects something else? The way Horimiya handles this, intertwining love and personal growth, might just change the romance genre as we know it.
Ive got a theory that Horimiya is setting a new precedent for character development in romance manga. It challenges the static tropes weve seen for years, suggesting that personal evolution and understanding are just as crucial as the love story itself.
Cant wait to see how other mangakas will respond to this. Will they stick to the tried and true, or will Horimiya inspire a wave of stories where characters are as dynamic and multifaceted as real people? Either way, Im here for it, popcorn in hand, ready to see how the next chapters of manga romance unfold. What do yall think? Any other mangas that have hit you like Horimiya?
