A brief recap of episode 2

The focus of Horimiya: The Missing Pieces episode 2 was on the coming school sports day. Hori and her friends expressed their nervousness and excitement for the upcoming event throughout the episode. Miyamura and the class president, Sengoku, even resorted to performing a rain dance to avoid participating.

Hori was placed in a team with Sengoku because groups had already been established while Miyamura, to his delight, was placed with Ishikawa. Sakura, who had been chosen to be a member of Miyamura's team, joined Sengoku in the rain dance to get the sports day canceled.

Despite the pressure, Hori encouraged Miyamura to do his best in the 100-meter dash. On the other hand, Sakura received help from Yuki regardless of being on the opponent's team. The story then shifted to Sengoku and Remi's blunders in the kitchen, making the cooking activity a hell ride for Sakura, but they eventually came together and enjoyed their meal.

The cherry on top of Horimiya: The Missing Pieces episode 2 was the final few minutes, which showcased Miyamura's adorable jealous side. Moreover, it happened shortly after Hori felt jealous when she spotted him with another girl in their class. As such, the scene perfectly encapsulated their mutual love for each other.
