No, Horimiya: The Missing Pieces is not a sequel.
The original version dealt with the relationship between Hori and Miyamura, two high school students who gradually developed a connection and fell in love over time. However, due to the limitations of adapting a manga into a thirteen-episode series, only a portion of the original story could be included. To address this, Horimiya: The Missing Pieces has been created to rectify the situation.
This new installment takes us back to the beginning of the original series and meticulously fills in the gaps that were left out in the initial adaptation. It offers a comprehensive exploration of the missing moments from the original manga, ranging from lighthearted and humorous instances to intimate and tender ones.
This special release provides fans with an opportunity to reestablish their connection with beloved characters and discover what unfolded between the scenes of the original story
The unveiling of hidden sides
Horimiya revolves around the life of high school student Kyouko Hori, who, despite her friendly demeanor and academic prowess, conceals another aspect of her personality. Alongside her school responsibilities, Hori shoulders the responsibilities of looking after her younger brother and managing all the household chores, leaving little room for socializing.
However, her path crosses with Izumi Miyamura, an introverted glasses-wearing otaku. Beneath his brooding appearance lies a gentle soul, although he struggles with his studies. By chance, these two polar opposites begin to form an unlikely bond.
