Horimiya has become one of the most popular rom-com anime properties. The anime adaptation was released in 2021 and ended with 13 episodes. However, the viewers were not satisfied and demanded more of it. This year, they finally got it. But, the continuation may not be what they imagined. The anime will return with the title Horimiya: The Missing Pieces.
The new anime, like the original anime, also adapts its original manga. This, of course, makes fans confused. Many are unsure if it will be the second season and whether the new series will be canon to the first. Rather than being confused, there is an explanation about what Horimiya: The Missing Pieces is, according to CBR.
Here is an article about the new anime, Horimiya: The Missing Pieces, which will complete the story.
Storyline of Horimiya So Far
Horimiya is an abbreviation of two main characters, Kyouko Hori and Izumi Miyamura. Hori is an exemplary student and the coolest girl at school. While Miyamura is a quiet boy with a slightly nerdy appearance. But, in reality, their lives at home are very different. They later meet and show their true selves. Both agree to keep their secrets, but in the process, they become close. In the end, Hori and Miyamura fall in love.
The original web manga was written by Hyori Adachi and released from 2007 to 2011. Its printed edition circulated from 2011 to 2021. Its ONA adaptation was released sporadically from 2012 to 2021. Meanwhile, its anime adaptation was released in 2021 for 13 episodes. The anime ended at the last chapter of the manga.
But, of course, with only 13 episodes, not all of its source material was adapted. Some chapters and a little development were skipped or removed. While the scope of the story was completed, there are some missing pieces. Due to how popular the manga is, many want to see the whole story adapted into the anime. Horimiya’s new anime seems to answer this request.
The Missing Pieces Complete the First Horimiya Anime
As its title suggests, Horimiya: The Missing Pieces is intended to complete the story and offer a wider adaptation of its manga content. Specifically, the travel storyline to Kyoto and the sports festival event are finally brought to the anime world. Additionally, several other “side stories” from the manga skipped by the 2021 anime are included.
This series is not season 2 or a sequel. But, it is a way to expand the story. This anime will show more of the “behind the scenes” story of how Hori and Miyamura arrived at their condition in the final episode. Of course, since the anime will bring events and scenes that are already in the manga, Horimiya: The Missing Pieces is canon to its first season. The new anime will not deviate from the existing story. This series should be watched by those who want to understand the whole story. For those who love the anime or have read the manga, they do not have to wait long to watch the missing chapters. Horimiya: The Missing Pieces will be aired on next Saturday (1/7).
In conclusion, Horimiya: The Missing Pieces is the new anime that will complete the story. It will bring the missing chapters to the small screen and entertain the fans. Although it is not season 2, it is still expected to have a good rating and reception from the audience who have been waiting for it.
