I can't even, it's so cute- 

I give this book ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️  (4/5)
 
Horimiya by HERO is a manga that takes place at school. The first character you meet is named Kyouko Hori. She’s beautiful, smart, popular, and has many friends. The other main character, Izumi Miyamura, is pretty much the opposite. People think he’s gloomy, and weird. Hori also has to manage her brothers’ life too. Her parents work quite a bit and never really come home, and her friends and most people don’t know this about her.

 One day, her brother comes home with a bloody nose and she rushes to see him. She notices someone there with him. It’s her classmate, Miyamura. There’s also a side of him nobody’s aware of. He normally keeps his hair down to hide some of the piercings he has during school, and wears his school jacket all year long to cover up his tattoos. Hori and Miyamura are actually more alike than they think. They become friends and Hori introduces Miyamura to her friends with him becoming a part of their group.               
​
My opinion:
 
I think this manga is cute. At first I kind of thought it was cliché, but I was wrong. I have to admit the beginning was a little slow, but the second and third books pick up the pace a little and make it quite bubbly – yet sad. I have not finished the series, but I really hope to. There are eleven of these books written and illustrated by HERO. It can be quite funny at times, so I’d label it a romance comedy in a way.
